I have just had the guy from the garage on about my engine.....it
would appear that Ive not got a burnt valve...the head appears
fine....its the block!!!.....cyl No 4 has a rather large groove in the
side of it, hence the loss of pressure......
I therefore have various options....1, bore out and new liners and
pistons.....2, new twink......3, new (different engine..cross flow,
Zetec etc etc etc)
does anyone have experience of this?....ie the best way forward.....I
would like to keep the twink but I'm not sure of how much a full
rebuild will cost me......I have been directed to a company
called 'Crewe Engines' who can do all this work and are the prefered
supplier for Mercedes (who the guy who told me of them, works for)....
what do we reckon???......rebuild or new engine??
thanks
