Could try www.burtonpower.com
Mainly supply engine bits for fords but have everything you require for engine rebuilds in general.
Thanks - that looks helpful

Most of the engine rebuild tools I've seen originally come from these guys:
www.goodson.com
About 1/2 to 2/3 the price including shipping and customs, usually quicker as well. Once I order some stuff Friday afternoon, it was delivered Monday morning.
I agree with MartinD about the hone though, if the taper and roundness of the bores are in spec and you just need to freshen up the cross-hatch to bed in new piston rings then a 'Flexi Hone' is a safer bet. Works well too.
Thanks guys, just got round to viewing this as my home computer is dead
To confirm, the hone I was imagining was one I've seen pictured somewhere which was basically a central rod with flexible radial wires with rough beads on the end. I figured it would be used in a hand-drill and merely to reapply the cross-hatch / bust the glaze rather than change bore dimensions. I assume this is a "Flexi-hone"
In fact, I've confused myself with hones now! Please someone link to a particular hone I can use just to reapply some cross-hatch.................or as it's a one off, can I just use some wet and dry? Don't shoot me down - got to start somewhere!

Considering a pro honeing job will probably cost about as much as the tool and be a lot safer why not spend your money there. Unless you are planning on doing the job a number of times, or starting a business. I have seen people really mess up there bores before.
I do most things on my engines, but skimming, replacing valves seats, guides and a hone I'd leave to the pros.

I want to do it myself. That's why I bought a broken car
