Think my VR needs a rebore

[rixy 0]

Just got the tope end rebuilt on my vr, to try and stop the smoke from following me down the road, but its not stopped it, now guessing it;l be rings gone! I've heard about the no's 1 and 6 ovalling, so how much would it cost to rebore the block and fit new pistons, bearing in mind that me and a few mates can do all the stripping and rebuilding work ourselves, only bit we can do obv is the machine work.

 

How much roughly would i be looking at for a rebore, and how much are the parts likely to come to?

 

cheers

Dude, the thread(s) you posted on earlier should answer some/most of those questions. Plus you've bumped it/them back up so there's not really any need to start a new one. I'd give Stealth/PSI/The Phirm a ring for a quote.

A rebore is about 150 or so.

 

Pistons are about 500 upwards afaik.

 

I guess you'd then need piston rings, and probably bearings etc. Maybe another 2 or 300 or so from what i've seen and read.

 

Try this http://hiflowheads.co.uk (engine rebuilds page) for rough prices of bits and bobs mate.

I have a 2.9 block in need of a rebore, if you wanted to buy it rather than strip yours down??

I was told its worth £300, but I dont want that for it. Make me an offer mate and we'll sort something out ;)

 

PM me as not to take the post off topic.
