McGurks had a V12 engine on an engine stand when I was there last month. Worth a call?

If you are handy with the spanners and have space and time - you could buy something like this:

Swap the engine over, and break the rest of the donor for spares to help mitigate the cost ?

How many miles has the engine covered?
Quite a rare fault on this engine?

Certainly must be the first I’ve seen mentioned on here.

You've been sleeping then. Ticking v12s (and blown v12s) have been discussed numerous times. B&R stated that they had seen quite a few and isolated the problem to piston slap due to rod big end bearing wear. If I was looking to have my ticking engine fixed, they would be my first stop.

Call Bruce at

You won't get a better, more VFM rebuild, what he doesn't know about the insides of the V8 and V12 isn't worth knowing. Powertrain removal can be handled also.

Thanks for all your help. I have just drop dow the backdraft in mk for him to have a look and price up.
I will call the other recommendation also and let your know how I get on
Cheers

Bamford Rose, McGurks or Bruce are all superb choices.

Did you manage to get this sorted?
Mine has started showing the dreaded 'tick', so I'm considering the best cause of action.

What year, build number and mileage has it done?
