I dunno, I thought Northy does them. So who's the main grease monkey here?

lol.theres quite a few tbh mate.matt brown, winston, myself all get our hands dirty in the upkeep ....monkey has done his own services etc....but think the main engine knowledg of rebuilds etc would be me matt n winston

Ah, that clear things up. Anyone running his own workshop? Was thinking of getting a rebuilt engine once mine hits 250k (km). Still many moons away but just want to know the budget to set aside.

Don't really want to rebuild the current one as:- 1) No one has done it here 2)Will have to down the car for months, waiting for parts 3) I don't think it will be much cheaper than shipping one in, and 4) I get a spare engine to play with at the end of it all.

Appreciate some rough ballpark numbers for parts and labour. TIA.
