Just bought the Surf 1993, and the engines gone, due to what looks like a knackered water pump and a wife that likes to go on & on...........(poor soul was thirsty).
Anyway the Cylinder Head is cracked and the bores are scored, might even have had a partial seizure (Sound fatal?) I'm trying to get her back on the road as quickly and cheaply as possible.....anybody got any ideas.
I've been quoted £800 (with VAT & delivered) for a second hand engine and £1,500 (with VAT & delivered) for a reconditioned unit.
I have a good mechanic so that's not a problem....where's best to get a Cylinder Head, can get the engine block rebored for £80, Skim for £25 & new oversized pistons wif rings fur £69 each (all +VAT)....so think this might be the best way to go?
Any help would be appreciated.
Yup Andy it's me.
Cheers
