Engine builders, Scotland
Discussion
Cheers for all the replies.
Spoke to an engine builder ,primarily 3SGTE as they race them, from down south...
This is what he sent me, which I will be going for. Will get it on a pallet and sent down.
Strip engine and check bores. I have never known one yet that needs a rebore.
Hone bores and fit forged 8:1 compression pistons.
Stock rods will be ok up to 450hp but will need ARP bolts fitted
Check crank bearing sizes and condition.
All bottom end should be balanced including pistons, rods, flywheel, clutch front pulley.
All new bearings, water pump, oil pump, seals and gaskets, timing belt, tensioner, all from Toyota.
ARP head studs, and you could also have ARP main bolts and flywheel bolts.
Block will be cleaned and painted and everything put back together.
The above will be around the £1500 to £2000 depending on ARP bolts used and if the block needs a re-bore
With the head off the valves could be re-seated and the cam clearances set together with new Toyota valve seals.
This work will be £300.00
VAT will need to be added to the above
I'm quite happy with this. Just need to get the engine out now! :-)

Had a lot on over the past year so the car has lay broken until now.
Engine out and fully stripped.
Route cause of failure - cracked piston ring-lands.
Hoping to get the block and head sent away shortly. Will be getting the bores checked for ovality and measured, and the head pressure tested before I rebuild for 400-450bhp.
Any other recommendations for machine shops that could do this for me?
