L26 Engine rebuild

[Healey 12]

Hi
Where is the go to place for a rebuild on engines these days , For a standard build what sort of costs will I be looking at ?

assuming nothing is excessively worn, parts (gaskets, bearings, rings, seals) will probably be around £450.
They're not unusual engines, so your local favourite engine builder should have no problems doing it.

I would recommend Kevin Irons. My experiences have been very good and member Istoo recently followed my recommendation - perhaps he'll come on this Thread?

 

[Healey 12]

Thanks . I have reached out to Kevin and he seems to be very knowledgeable and that's the route I will go

 

[Rob Gaskin]

Did you mention me?
