rebore & metal work?

been looking into different mods for my car and ive decided the route im going....

who localy will rebore an engine, do skim work and grinding down of a crank etc for me? at a reasonable price! preferably free! lol...

doubt you will get that lot done free

i kno but its being optimistic, do you kno anyone who can do the work?

well i know i got my head skimmed for £30 in felinfach, im not sure about the rest localy

Aeron Engines, Tom?

spoke to them a while back about doin my escort head when the headgasket blew.
seemed pretty reasonable..

grinding down a crank?

i wouldnt touch a crank tbh.. there prescisly balenced objects

tbh if u wana do all that work to ur engine ur still probably guna have less bhp than a 2.0 , just keep ur moneys and engine swap yo

ah thats where ur wrong pingu, its a rebore to 2064cc , crank out of a m47, m3 pistons, v6 injector system and a few other bits - the pistons need 3mm taken off the top as well as a small ammount on the crank stem, block bored to 86mm with a decent setup and its its all done properly kicking out somwhere in the 200hp bracket! for a bit money but a lot of work work i dont mind! its the money im a bit short of! its all ive been reading up on all month since i showed you that article on the flywheel upgrade with the 325 flywheel and clutch and a prop/diff upgrade ill be a very happy chappy! im just costing it all at the moment!

be a lot cheaper to just drop a m50b25 in it steve.. and a lot easyer and quicker

i agree dude, plus itll be a 6 pot then with any luck ill be puttin one in after september

ah but if i do that ill have to tell my insurance! what they cant see (inside the engine!) they cant charge me for!

also i need a prodject to keep my hands busy!

It would be offset through big end bearing sizes.
but then again the pistons and rods'll be different so might be able to match them up.

As for the balancing of the crank, any competent machine shop fettling with a crank should take that into consideration anyway

it uses the standard rods out of the m42 engine with the crank take 3-4mm one end of the shaft so u dont loose a lot on the balance its just to make it fit snug/better without any friction,
same with the pistons 3mm off the top so they dont go too high. i kno its guna cost me about £1000 - £1500 to do everything including rolling road remap. but tbh i think having a 318is running 200bhp+ would be sweet.

ye it would be easyer to stick a 2ltr strait 6 in or even larger. but wheres the fun or imagination in that!

it took some imagination to get it in asbo's lol!

I thought I posted in here? Obviously not, anyways, have you found anywhere to get the work done, Aeron engines do that sort of work but I'm not to sure how good they are, there is a shit hot engine builder in Hereford called Russ Tyler who did work on my dads friends pinto engine, there's also a good builder in Haverfordwest called Martin Davies. Does rally engines, they should be able to sort you out.

thanks for your post. ive decided not to bother with the little 1.8 engine. its expensive to run at the moment as it is without mods

Bummer! Cash flow seems to be my problem to.
