I'm doing a rebuild, nothing fancy lol
I've just been browsing about and can't seem to find anything cheaper than K Tec's p & l kit
Even on the GSF website I'm seeing 235+VAT !!!
If theres anywhere remotely cheaper, point me that way please

expand on that please sparkie....
Even CGB are £199+ the Vodka
I'll have a chat with my local engineer Spooky and see what price he comes up with, he's normally been quite good for me.
the days of paying nothing for stuff are ending.expand on that please sparkie....
a working engine won't be available for £150 for much longer if the parts to rebuild them go up or become obsolete.
Look at how much engines for other marques are these days?
Welcome to my world 5 boys
if parts are becoming more expensive and harder to come by, wouldnt it make sense for us as a club to start buying bits up in bulk and sell through the shop then pass the saving on to members. we have the cash, the contacts and i assume the demand for them so makes sense to buy.
I am looking into this at present .
We can get some good deals on a lot of bits BUT we need to add the postage cost to the weightier items .
There also is a bit of a history of the club buying stock that then sits on the shelves for years even though there was a ' demand ' from members that then failed to purchase .
Parts have gone crazy what with the Euro becoming much stronger. I use Tarabusi, but their prices have nearly doubled, but it is good kit.
thatd be awesome mate, let me know
Wowthatd be awesome mate, let me know!!!! Prices have gone up for these now!
I've got a price but its no different really to anyone else, looks like whatever supplier you go to now the price is about the same.
like i said, the days of cheap engine rebuilds are over....
Most definatly mate, had been a while since i purchased a set of piston/liner set and was quite surprised its gone up about £100 from what i use to get them for. Even the price of a set of rings has gone up a fair bit.like i said, the days of cheap engine rebuilds are over....
at least the days of regularly blowing up for no apparent reason are over toolike i said, the days of cheap engine rebuilds are over....
who? - me?at least the days of regularly blowing up for no apparent reason are over too
I think he meant Mark, you wally... We'll see what's to be presented though...
thanks for info chaps...
i may have found a localish engineering place, that will sell the set for under £200!
if thats the case, im gunna grab a few more and flog them, group buy potential me thinks lol
which manufacturer?
perfect circle?
tarabusi?
kolbenschmidt?
Perfect Circle Sparks.
They've always used them.
The company used to supply an engine building company who used to prep/build fast road/race spec engines and cars.
Welcome to my world 5 boys
Does this thread bring you a dark satisfaction as well lee?
Well, I've just been quoted £720+vat for a rebuild.
Or he'll supply everything I need so I can do it myself, including balancing the bottom end for £550
