Engine freshen up...

[Malam]

I want to give my engine a freshen up while it's out...new piston rings, bearings, head gaskets etc

Can anybody recommend anyone in the North West?

Also, I've been told that the auxiliary shaft needs to be set up on a jig?
So I'll need this doing too..

Thanks

I can Highly recommend Automedon in poulton le Fylde near Blackpool 08454084745 But im not sure if there is a shortage of some spares at the moment

Seconded.

Go to Automedon.

Top blokes, top service .... and your Cerbera will thank you for taking it there as well. Not sure about the parts issue. When I spoke with Dave about 3 weeks ago most parts were available again. Must be good news for some owners as Dave had a few Cerberas in (think x3) with engine issues.

Ian at Torque RVT usually does a good job, Id certainly trust him with mine when the time came.

Yep still there Managed to snap the crank in 2 places and mash the block

It won't be long till it's back now though as all the parts have been sourced so just waiting on it getting put together now

Hope you gave it a loving stroke Lol

I fear I now have the opportunity to back up my claim with action as my head gasket has gone, and Ian is doing the work.

They are meant to be driven

Diving boots have been consigned to the bin you will be happy to hear Lol

Seriously though 8 places is pretty severe The other thing we spoke about my "advisor" said it would be nigh on impossible to prove unfortunately So I guess I shall just have to put it down to experience.

Have a nice weekend mate and I shall call you later in the week.
