What do i do ?

[pacerpete]

There goes the origionality of the car.

That must make your cab £210 worth then ! (£140 per ton x
1500kg)


PS Did you find your keys ?

What keys?

The ones the tom took off you in the car park in Solihull after you rung 999 to complain that she/ it had a bigger c0ck than yours !


PS ; Nice prefacelift high comp donk pacer !

[Rav335uk]

LOL, I had spares.

P.S. Old worn out Prefacelift Donk

[TPS]

Old worn out E30 owner from Solihull

[Rav335uk]

Old worn out E30 owner from Solihull

LOL, you're older than me.

[Rav335uk]

£2000 in parts/machine work pete means. Then add some serious labour time to do it with the car you think it should have.

What a load of crap Boyce
Where do you get these inflated prices from.

You must love having your pants taken down.

[Simon13]

shells big and mains £300. Crank regrind if needed is about £10 per journal. piston rings £180.

Block rebore usually £30 per bore. If you sleeve it they're £30 per bore normally. Or a price of glaze bust re hone. Plus labour plus a set of pistons.

oil pump, a lot are worn now, BMW only and about £170

Rockers? BMW only now I think lets say good old days of GSF/euros supplying so about £12 each, new cam? I want a schrick please that's £450.

Head reface £50 about going rate. Guides? they're about £6 each depends on how many? but you will be doing 6 at least. Labour to fit. Valves mushroomed at the top is very likely so you can count a few of them and the price. did we mention head work?

Headgasket set + head bolts. Cambelt, sensors water pump

Unlike yourself Rav I've actually rebuilt M20's yes ones gone bang but I've done it. Paid for it and built them myself.

Do you want me to add it all up see how close it is to £2000? You can't get much for M20's these days outside of BMW as they're so old now.

I fancy a nice exhaust manifold for my M20 can you recommend one Chav?

Rav is not too au fait with rebuilding M20s, Transits are his thing

[Nobby_N]

Has he bought Petes engine yet???????????

[B7]

I estimate we'll be at 10 pages by thursday 7pm.

Only 10?

Again, you like bending over.

How do you know Polsta's is shot?

Rockers? BMW only now I think lets say good old days of GSF/euros supplying so about £12 each,

£6.80 each actually for FEBI , if you bothered to find out the correct price instead of spouting shit.

new cam? I want a schrick please that's £450.

Polsta hasn't asked for an upgrade on the engine, so that can be left out.

Head reface £50 about going rate

Again, you've been bent over LOL

Nowhere near £2000.

Why ask me,????
I couldn't give a toss what fuckign exhaust manifanny you put on.

And that is without buying Piston compressors and other
assorted tools that the average D.I.Y er doesn't normally own.

[capri_rob]

So is pacer counting his 300 Harvester tokens and polsta preparing to fit the new donk or is this thread going to continue rattling along like a 200k M40 camshaft ??

[beemerbird]

Surely you don't mean Polsta was asking 'What do I post about' rather that 'What do I do'??????? Outrageous.

[jimbom30cab]

this is the best thread on the zone for ages

[Rav335uk]

Entertaining Jim, isn't it.
I suppose it'll get better.

Polsta is loading the donkey into the back of his strangerover as we type, the statnav has been programmed with the postcode of the cheapest transit specialists in solihull (thats where rav will be) a brief stop at the atm (ooer) for a withdrawal of £50 in hard cash and he will have the best M20 ever known to man and change for the first monthly payment towards his AA membership

[Andyboy]

AA membership

Surprised you know what that is Dan.

[DanThe]

AA membership

Surprised you know what that is Dan.

Talking of which remember to bring a 30mm socket to santa pod

[Kedge]

You mean you lot are surprised Polsta has asked a question, got heap loads of great advise and still chosen to go his own route!?

Rockers? BMW only now I think lets say good old days of GSF/euros supplying so about £12 each,

£6.80 each actually for FEBI , if you bothered to find out the correct price instead of spouting shit.

Rav, if you can get M20 FEBI rockers at that price get them bought. Took me ages to find somewhere that had any stock last year and that was NOS and they certainly weren't anything like £6.80 each. ECP weren't able to get anymore from FEBI as they told them they weren't making them anymore

Rav gets all his bitz from his cuz in Karachi, much cheapness innit !

[andyp]

sorry mate sounds like your engine is scrap, drop it off at the bridge and buy another engine, I don't care what anyone says it wont make any difference to the price of your car having another engine fitted, this your cheapest option but if you have a spare 2k to do a PROPER rebuild and not a budget one go for it.

[Simon13]

do I need bother replying? I will because liars make me angry. I'll admit my prices are probably within a 10% tolerance and were all off the top of my head.

I hate it when you state facts for the benefit of everyone and someone lies to try and "win"

Rav's never been to a machine shop then, i'm still waiting to hear about some engine building experience and real parts prices on M20's to help us all out. Febi rockers have NEVER been £6.20 as this is 2013 not 1995.

[Kos]

Has he bought Petes engine yet???????????

[Nobby_N]

Ravs prime was the 90s hes now a spent force and advice is out of date by look of it! Bit like the emicon

Who's trying to "Win" here???
I'm STATING FACTS on prices, not guessing them , like you.

And FEBI M20 rockers as of today from GSF are £7.10 each, so they've gone up sllightly.


You know "Sweet Fook All" wether or not i've ever been to a machine shop, again, spouting shite.

Oh, and my engine building experience will on my thread, and it'll even be "Timed up" correctly, unlike some Expert on here.


(Kedge, they have plenty in stock atm. )

[Grrrmachine]

I think you've both made your points. This thread will now be monitored, and if the bickering progresses then the thread will be locked, and the Mod Hammer will come out.

Keep it civil please gentlemen.

[Rav335uk]

I am civil.

[B7]

My c2 2.7 donk had been rebuilt 20k before I bought it. I decided to refresh it with new bigs, rings, hone, oil pump cogs, full gaskets, head reface and all the other bits you'd do. No major machine work was required. The bill? Just over £1400. That's no regrinds, rebores, pistons or mains!

A full rebuild using genuine parts as above will be the thick end of 2 bags. Yes you can get cheaper parts but cut corners here and you'll pay in the long run. Again! Anyone rebuilding an engine without a new oil pump is speshal needs. Even on mine I knew the pump was good but still replaced the cogs and had the top linished flat.

[B7]

Has he bought Petes engine yet???????????

Are the valves straight?

[Kedge]

(Kedge, they have plenty in stock atm. )

Definitely FEBI ones? The price you qouted is what GSF and ECP were asking for the no name monkey metal crap the tail end of last year.

[Simon13]

Ouch, nice dig

i'm out, i'm right, I've not got the time to type the same things over and over and over and over................

Ta D a folks

I spoke to Gsf today Dave to.confirm the.price.

Bye bye Simon

[spook]

My dear friends from Surrey and Solihull,will you please calm down.

Ta.

[andyp]

[hennared323i]

But has Polsta got an engine yet??????
