Blown Piston Rings... Help..

[charlieR34]

hi there

we have a situation here, dont know what to do. been to C&D and they told us that we need a engine rebuild. it would cost us about 6k or so. with blown piston rings, what else could be damaged? is a engine rebuild really needed? is there any other cheaper options?

also, where is the best reasonable price place for doing an engine rebuild if its our last resort, from melbourne.

thanks

Other option is to replace engine with another std R34 engine, that will probably cost you as much as rebuilding your engine.

If you rebuild your eng. it will be MUCH stronger, provided the w/shop use quality parts.

These are the guys i use. Give them a call and compair parts and prices.

or alternately you can do it properly with forged internals for that price from an engine reconditioner direct such as my uncle chris collier from beyond the limit motorsports/mrc cylinder heads....

based in east kielor

give him a call on 0412665945 for a chat and a very resonable quote all works done in house so you only deal with the one person unlike most shops who send thier work out to get done and then sting you with there extra on top of the real price!

Stop driving it.

You risk more damage to the bore(s) in question. If too bad you'll need a new block which is added cost.

A rebuild i needed, plain and simple if the ringlands are gone

You can always purchase a 2nd hand motor. But then they can be luck of the draw.

The key thing to note here is... What are/is the purpose/power/aims of the car??

Answer that and it gets easier to give ideas and points of view.

There is only one workshop in Vic to trust with an RB rebuild when $$$ are concerned. Racepace
