0 milage engine rebuild - whats involved
Tinks:
Hi Rob,
I've just finished my 200tdi engine rebuild, to get an engine that is effectivly new you need to,
- Pistons (Con rods should be fine)
- main & big end bearings
- thrust washers
- Complete engine gasket set
- Head gasket ( head bolts are not stretch bolts but its worth checking them)
- Oil pump
- cambelt Kit
Put a new thermostat in & check the water pump.
Things like valve stem oil seals all come i the Gasket set, take the valves out clean them, lap them back in and make sure they dont leak.
Obvious things like getting the block bored out and get the head pressure tested and skimmed.
Measure the journels on the crank to make sure there not oval, if there all round and there is no score marks on them then there is no reason for getting a new crank.
I think thats pretty much everything but I might have missed something. I need all the work on mine myself , i just had the maching done and i put all the pistons Etc back in myself, complete engine rebuild cost me just shy of 500 quid & took a week. Ooo didnt use any rubbish parts either, only the best for my boy!!
Hope its helpful. ;)
Guardian.:
last 1 i did, but going back about 3 years now cost a grand, but that was everything done proper and genuine parts used.
i would imagine you could do it for around 700 quidish these days.
mostmoney goes in machining and grinding, its just depends on what parts you buy to what its gonna cost, but i would recomend genuine over the other stuff as most (not all) is rubbish.

Ref head bolts --- I believe you can reuse them a couple of times only , thus indicating they are stretchy :lol:
Tinks:
200tdi head bolts are not stretch bolts, if they stretched then you could not reuse them at all!
Stretch bolts can not be used twice, once you take them out you chuck them away and get new ones. :P
