Engine rebuild

[edd72bay]

After hours and hours of rebuilding my engine it survived a whole 5 days after getting its new MOT. Anyone got any recommendations for a good engine rebuilder in Cornwall?? And what is a reasonable price?? All parts were new and should be ok according to my garage.

Why did it fail?

I'm not sure TBH it was leaking oil from day one but was told that it's just one of them things it started to make noise so I pulled over and it then dumped all of its oil on the road.

It's not '1 of those things' no engine should leak oil.

WHS^^ - though if it was leaking and then clattered and dropped a load of oil I'd check it's not a pushrod that was out of alignment and popped off the pushrod tube - hence dumping oil - may be worth a once over to see where it came out from ?

Will have to have a looky next week some time as it's at the garage. Just want her back on the road it's doing my head in.

Killiwherries Industrial Estate, Truro, I think?

There is a whole host of VW folk on that trading estate!
