hi guys, long time no see, lots been happening, so as title implies, who would you trust with a genuine 390se NCK engine, to strip down inspect, rebuild std etc, and be very honest with thier appraisel and then get back 100% of the NCK.........................ta

HI Leigh, to be honest the engine might not need a full rebuild. All i want to do is get it stripped and inspected to find out how cam is, heads cleaned, block acid dipped to get rid of all gunk not for it to block the rad etc, aly bits polished so it looks good. As i dont want all the hassle of doing all the outside detailing and then fitting it to find that i have to take it back out to do more remedial work, I might be able to have a go myself as have done other v8's. Obviously this is not your usual v8 tho is it. I am pretty confident in what i can do but to know when a bit needs replacing is another thing.
Maybe in the next week or so i will take a better look, start to take ancilliaries off etc, and end up with the bare enigne, then decide where i go from there. Get ready for a barrage of silly stupid questions. To be honest i dont want to muck up a might be perfect but rare engine...........................ta

Hi Leigh, thats mighty kind of you old boy. I am sure we might have met some time ago in Castle Coombe, have you raced there.........

Yes, would love to return it, but it looks like the price is £4500 just for a std rebuild, I just cannot go for that as dont have that amount of money ..........
