Been told by a friend if engine is ****ed he will rebuilt it for £300 - £400 inc parts, what you think of that price?

Seems quite reasonable! I doubt you would get an engine for that price

Very very good, in fact, that might be less than the new parts cost with the gaskets etc considered!

Depends whats knackered, but it could be more than that if the cranks scored

I've been thinking, and it's just possible I have a spare crank... one of the blown engines I have was sold to me as having a big end knock, but when I opened it up it had dropped a valve, and a quick check suggested that the crank might actually be OK and it was just misdiagnosed. So, I'll drag it out and have a look-see.

LJ, speaking from personal (painful) experience here ...

A replacement engine would be a better option than a rebuild.
My rebuilt engine cost me about £850. That was 2nd-hand crank, con-rods and bearings. Almost HALF of that cost was for labour (stripping old engine down and putting it back together).

Wish I'd known how long it was going to take and how much it was going to cost, because had I known, I'd have chosen to go for a replacement engine, rather than having mine rebuilt.

But I guess you'll need to wait and see exactly what the problem is first ;-)

Good luck!
