Gti 6 Head Rebuild

[chris-stdt 0]

Hi ive been offered a 205 with a gti 6 lump with a snapped belt and was wondering on the rough cost of a rebuild ,obviously new belt ,bolts and hg but what might the other parts cost (valves etc) or would i be better off with a secondhand head ?

 

Any help on this will be much apprieciated

 

Thanks

Head rebuilds come it at around £350.

 

Head gasket from pug is £40ish

 

Cambelt kit for around £50 from gsf.

 

 

I sourced a second hand head and the rest as above.

probably cheaper to get another bare engine, stick a belt kit and water pump on it, job done.

miles does recon heads iirc at a very good price.

Have you removed the head yet? Worst case damage would be a snapped valve which has caused damage to the piston. otherwise it's 16 bent valves and damaged guides.

 

Certainly less hassle to source a new engine but personally i'd send it away (qep, miles etc) and have it rebuilt unless your confident in rebuilding the head yourself.

 

The last time i checked valves where around £6.00 each from peugeot although engine builders would probably source them cheaper, then there's a head skim, valve guides etc.

Unless you have all the tools for the headwork then don;t even attempt it, Even many engineering companies get the heads wrong and still tap after a so called rebuild and why there is only 1 company I use now for this

 

But unless you;ve got the engine in parts you can assume that even the piston/s may be shot as the valve heads tend to drop off too

Thanks miles ive not got the car yet so unsure of damage im looking at the cost to fix it before it

 

Thanks
