Hi everyone.

Suspected big end problems on 3R and just wondering who is recommended for a full engine rebuild on a 3R.

Know Jetstream but anyone else?

Know some very competent mechanics so happy to have them remove the engine and refit and send of the main block off unless there are good reasons why I shouldn't.

Any rough estimates of costs appreciated too.

Thanks

Yeah I know its a silly question and open ended but i'm just being curious ahead of time of anyones experience with standard rebuild costs.

Quite happy to remove and refit engine myself for example and heard this can make the difference of around £1500.

Thanks.

Gearbox has been to gearbox man for full strengthening and rebuild 500 miles ago. New clutch etc fitted and all done though Jetstream as well as it previous service history and updates so apart from this unfortunate need for a rebuild all other mods etc should be up to date.

I'm pretty sure going down the tuning route can be a slippery slope financially too!!

More then happy with the power of the car but if there are changes that are highly recommended for good reasons then of course I will look at them.

Thanks

Just looking at the car with the rear clam off, is there anyway of getting the engine out of the top or is it a floor off and 2 post lift job?
