shell bearings for 400 or new engine
o.k after months of hiding my nc at the back of the garage i finally cracked it open today and i had a shell bearing on the number 2 conrod fail
Now i,m stuck with a choice either rebuild my nc30 which has little wear to be honest or buy an unknown ebay engine and just stick it in ?
The rebuild is gonna be full engine gasket's new crank bearings,heads cleaned up & decoked maybe some mild port work too. £300 ish
ebay engine + del £300 ish
Thoughts guys ?
and yes Mark i would love some +2mm pistons but cannot affort it atm and it would make great sence to seeing my engine is already appart !!!
