hi guys so as some of you know my engine is not great

 

and only got 90psi on cylinder 6 so how much would it cost for me to

 

eaither fix the valve/s on cylinder 6 and or the piston rings if the bore is ok ??

 

id do the work my self just need the bits ??

 

 

her is a short video of the last engine i tottally rebuilt but its a ford engine so didnt cost me £3 million pound for parts like a zed does lol :)

 

 

a full r3ebuild kit is about £1500.. which IMO is what you would need to do...

 

something like this....

thanx neil was a great help :)

It's wha i'll be going for when i do mine.. alone with the goodies....lol

i have emailed a guy about a full set of piston rings and a head gasket set from the states and the prices are good :)

 

might be keeping the old girl after all :)

You'd be crazy to do just the rings mate, deffo 100% pistons as well.

Wisecos piston and ring set ain't expensive, then a head set and your done for a basic job, but stronger pistons. Bore wise generally a hone and deglaze is all that required and you can wap the 87.5 pistons in :nana2:

If you wern't on a budget obviously other items too, but just the above will see you good.

Finally if you think theres oil pissing down your exhaust still and smoking, drop the catts off and run the engine, bit noisey like, but i done it to find out it was oil in the system and not another kanckered turbo :)

hi smithy thanx for the replay how much is the piston set and does it include the rings ???

 

i can get the complete head gasket kit and a full set of standard rings deliverd for £94 which i think is a bargain :)

Hi mate, yep wiseco piston sets like most, come with the rings as well.

No idea personally on price as i don't sell em any more, but you can check with Danny or shop around bud.

Just noticed your other post, i suggested the above simple because of cost cos i thought it was an issue. Hence why you considered breaking.

Anyway if you go for 88mm pistons then you will need a re bore, whereas 87.5mm pistons is a basic bore clean.

ahh cool i will just have the 87.5's then unless its quite cheap to get the blokck rebored and thanx alot for your advise mate :duffer: :duffer:
