Title: Want good engine rebuild - where??
Post by: Spam on 01 January 2008, 21:51: Hi Guy's,

I have a 90 plate 16v mk2, i want the engine rebuilt.

Can anyone give me details of companies that specialise in the 16 valve.

I would realy appritiate it. Im in the south just outside London, but distance isnt an issue.

Thx

I had my '90 8v short block over bored +1mm, the crank, flywheel and con-rods where balanced, they surplied new pistons and reconditioned the block .Runs very smooth now, charged Ã‚£640 (btw I took the engine to them, so this is for the re-con work only not fitting). They also re-con'ed my head but that will be different for the 16v, also mine needed some touch up welding :shocked:

The main man is Richard, 01763 273722. Unit 23, Park Farm industrial estate, Buntingford, Herts, SG9 9AZ.
