[QUOTE="shea, post: 545180, member: 19411"] Hi Guys, Had my bottom end rebuilt on my 1600 dp last year and did 1700 miles on the engine but it was burning a lot of oil. So took it back to the builder and he said it needs new B & P's and new heads. So for heads, B&P's and labour it's coming to £450. What I'm wondering though is should I go up to 1776, I don't have much money to throw at the engine but the 1776 B & P's are only an extra £90 and the builder only charges £100 I think to bore out the heads and case (I think!) so I'm wondering if I should go down that route, using my stock rebuilt bottom end and upgrading to dual carbs in the future. Or should I just stick with the 1600 dp as I'm not going all out Any advice much appreciated [/QUOTE]
