any suggestions welcome, just trying to make my mind up as to what to do ???

ZTECH will rebuild it for you...not sure of the price though...

I have a uk TT auto engine that came out of my car when I put my rebuilt new to me secondhand manual TT in. The enginge has done 130K, but the oil was changed every 4000 miles and I have had that engine since 34,000 miles. It has been compresion tested and is spot on though the big end bearings are making a slight noise and would need re shelling + I'd say put a new oil and water pump on it, but I'd tell you to do that with any secondhand or rebuilt engine anyway.

 

If you want it I want £600 as she is or £900 with the big ends replaced and new rings.

Mark - Off the subject but that wasn't your Z on Top Gear last night racing Hammond on a Scooter was it?? Your car looks similar!!

Yo Dude! Had to get one for my TT last year, ended up finding one on http://www.1stchoice.co.uk there's plenty out there as they search all available breakers yards in the uk!! I got luck got one from a written off 1992 UK Spec Z which had only done 42,000 miles. They send proof of milage compression tests etc. It was the main engine - tubs cause my tubs we're new but a bargain at £900 inc delivery!!! Hope this helps!!

No it wasn't mine, but obviously belonged to someone with good taste :rofl: :rofl:

thanks jon, am looking now, cheerz

Engines can be rebuilt. You rebuild it and it will it should be virtually new.

 

Get a used one and you dont know the history or condition of it. (usually)
