Engine Build

Right so, Pulse does not want to take on my engine rebuild because it is already disassembled (which is fair enough, and plus theyd be a bit expensive anyway)
Does anyone know of a shop that will take it on? Or, does anyone here in NSW want to give me a hand (Will obviously pay cash)?
I dont really want to have to source another engine

You've got it all bagged right? I'll be happy to give you a hand when I've got time

Cheers Frazwozzle.
So I need to get the heads and block done at a shop, as well as the port and polish, and then go from there?

Thanks guys.
I will be taking the heads and block up when I can sort out a decent shop to do it.
Also tempted to buy a mivec engine with a collapsed big end bearing apparently, for $250 and just hand it over to Pulse

I have just contacted Thornleigh Cylinder Heads and am awaiting a reply. I would like them to at least do the head and block work and port and polish. If they can't rebuild it then thats fine, but I need a shop to do all the machine work and stuff.

I was quoted 1500 for the block and head work that needed to be done. That as a few months ago.

You could try Ricol at Peakhurst...
But they have been pretty flat chat, so not sure if they have the time... But they would have the contacts...

The other alternative would be to re-assemble the engine kinda half assed (i.e. not torquing everything properly) and taking it to a shop.
Or, buying one with a collapsed big end bearing apparently, for 250, and just giving them that. Unsure of what to do at the moment.

Well, if I cant find a shop to do it I'll still have a crack at it myself...
The difference now though is that Ive started to spend some serious amounts of money on the build and I dont want to
it and f**k it up then waste all the money I've spent.
