Hi,

 

A sheared tensioner bolt has caused damage 4 valves in my 300ZX TT.

 

The garage I use near me are saying it is hard to say how much it will cost until they strip it, but are thinking up to £2k.

 

I am think that given this, I may as well just get a recon, or low millage whole engine.

 

Does this sound sensible, and can anybody recommend anyone in the SE east who can even strip it down cheaper, or who sell engines (I live in South West London).

 

Cheers

 

Andy

Not sure if this will help or not.

 

The mechanic I use is excellent .. very good and knows his Zeds backwards. I know he does engine rebuilds etc

 

He may be able to help you. He has my car in at the moment to try an fix my hicas leak.

 

His name is Graham and is in Fordcombe Kent (01892 740006)

 

Cheers

Hi Andy ,

just seen your thread about your engine. Sorry its shot.

Dont know if you are sorted yet?

There is a place in Hythe kent who sell low milage jap engines, with 3/6 month warranty. Sorry but in the cannaries at this moment & do not ave there tele No!

Andy Z might be worth a shout on the traders forum. He also lives in kent & might know the first place I mentioned.

Sometime ago I think Luke at Z centre could supply & fit a whole engine for 1500 quid!

There are other options open to you too.

You could put up another thread asking for more help. U might only need a top end, and not a whole one. Hope this helps a little.
