well i'm going to go ahead and fix the engine thats in the car. i can get a complete head set for 140.00 set of ten head bolts for 14.00 the cam lock tools with the crank pin for 75.00 i measured the cylinder head i bought off a member and it measured 149.98mm (tall) and a slight .11mm warpage. the min you can resurface is 149.55mm so i'm in the clear. should take me about 10 hours or so to do it (book time 14). so i think i can hold off on rebuildin mgb motor till later. i'll send the head out tomorrow to be machined and a valve job done should cost me about 160.00 remember i'm a mechanic and those are some of my perks. so its cheaper to just go ahead and do it instead of replacing motor. thanks j!m on your offer and hope you sell it soon. i'll post in lounge when its done and how much the total was so any other do it yourselfers will know what it takes in time and cash. |
