Hi guys I have been looking on the net for engine components to fully restore a 1.9 gti 8v xu engine, some of the prices I were getting for standard replacement parts I thought I would get high performance parts for? So I rang a motorfactor that gave me slightly better prices.
I was wondering if anyone on here has done a full restore on an engine ie changed everything including valve guides, thrust washers, all bearings,liners, rings the lot and what kind of prices they got the parts for?
As it stands I have a total price of £650 for all the parts, I think this is expensive as an engine rebuild company charges £850 ish to rebuild an engine including labour and labour is the most expensive part so surely he must be getting the parts to do it either dirt cheap or he is just cleaning some parts and putting them back???
Thanks Lee
