its £40 or maybe a rod through the block ruining majority of the engine

Eughhh . Egnine builds .

Why you so expensive lol

Loads of money arnt they, think I paid over 250 for all the rebuild stuff (excluding pistons and rings), 120 for the rebore and 130 for the stem seals and seat cuts for the head :(

Thats not even including the tools I had to buy to get the job done either

I'm looking to spend at least £1000 rebuilding mine, but that's including balancing and new oil pump etc

Yeah I think mines been around 1075 so far nick haha. Loadsa money but for a zero mile engine its worth it!

Infact probably more lol.

I hadn't done the calc yet, crying now....

Iv found not adding things up is the best policy mate

In the big ends its a round hole, crudely drilled. Just the earlier cars didn't have it, but VW only sell that type now so you get holes even for cars with solid rods.

Other suppliers may differ, so its something to check for.

Main bearings have oval holes, yeah.

Rite just been onto my local parts place.

33 Inc vat for big ends bearings ( With holes ) that was at trade price mind .

75 for solid's haha !

Good job the AVY ones have the holes :)

Any have any idea on price from TPS for conrod bolts .

NICK HI ?

Yeah my replacement AEE ones had holes also.

Mark posted price for bolts lol, doubt you'll get them much cheaper.

And why you Hi'ing me for? Hello?

What brand are shells your local parts place for £33? You may get me a set? Totally hooking each other up

Forum fweinddd..

Thought u had a trade account with TPS . So could get them abit cheaper

TPS isn't really cheap, my account was like 8% off man lol :(

Hey all I got piston rings, thrust washers, mains and big ends all KS make for £100 I thought this was reasonable what do you guys think ?

My kobenshimt (what ever) rings were about £50 posted too, still got to buy my bearings but don't expect to be paying much more than Pete. Rebuild parts are cheap enough if you shop around, rebuild parts wise I should have under £400 in my engine using most oe quality parts and arp rod bolts

I contacted a guy off eBay and he said he could supply the lot delivered was 103 delivered to my door was easier for me to get the lot off the same person same parcel same Payee rather than trying to save the odd fiver I will find his details just message him sure he will be glad to help.

I messaged him through eBay I got a link here for him he's a genuine guy had no problems genuine KS parts and posts recorded signed for so you know you will receive them give him a try may be worth speaking with him and orgsnising a group buy through him see if you guy can save some pennies http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251255151713
