Taggart 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Stealth count as southern half? They rebored my 2.9 by 0.5mm, so I'm sure they can do a 2.8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toad 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Try Owslebury crankshafts in Winchester. They're a very reputable company that specialises in engines and rebuilds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tekara 0 Posted June 4, 2007 I'll get a price off my step-dad as he runs a gundrilling and honing business. Do you have the 2.9 pistons, as they like to match a bore to a piston. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted June 4, 2007 Cheers guys - will give them a go if someone more local doesnt pop up.... Tekara - not 100% sure on the piston front but will find out... Cheers.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stan 24v 0 Posted June 4, 2007 I have some 2.9 pistons, one will need replacing though, also con rods and crank. I even have a 2.9 block which needs reboring ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dr_mat 0 Posted June 5, 2007 AFAIK you only need an engine support that can tilt the pre-req 15 degrees.. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarlett 0 Posted June 6, 2007 Thanks everyone - have found a local company who have said they can do it, Sutton Rebore Service.... Cheers... :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
