shell bearings for 400 or new engine

Post by Acid »

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 !!!

Buy an engine to put you on...get yours done lovely style and when you swap it back in, flog the other motor..
