Anyone got a ballpark figure for a complete engine rebuild/overhaul ?

I rebuild a few engines for these guys, it is hard to put a figure on a full rebuild. There were a couple of engines I was asked to rebuild, apart from the crankshafts and hard-wear; every thing else was past reconditioning. But as a rough guide between £500 and £800.

There's a buggy rule of thumb that in any gathering of 5 or more buggys there must statistically be at least one engine rebuilt, set up or improved by Farmer Rob.

He gets my vote.

Snoopy I think you are being falsely modest or economical with the truth viz there were at very least 4 buggys at Blackrock that had significant reworks by you and I don't know the half of what goes on.

There's a buggy rule of thumb that in any gathering of 5 or more buggys there must statistically be at least 2 buggys that have directly benefited from Snoopy know how.
