ProcrastinatorFraser · Oct 10, 2015

Got a price from Paddock to get it re-re-conditioned.. came out over 300 quid... Got any other parts sites i can take a look at? (for the love of god, don't even mention John Craddocks......)

for cheaper prices or better quality what do you get for 300

just trade yours in for one already reconned, if I ever do mine that is where it will go

And actually, please tell me: blue engine means reconned, doesn't it?

its no problem as long as its done accurately, some of the parts will be poor its just a fact nowadays with low selling stuff, you might want to add valve guides unless your have old one lined

SHOULD be done accurately, i'm getting it done by a specialist, same for the head, it's gonna be fitted out by a specialist.

3 or 5 bearing block ? A couple of years ago I did a very old 3 bearing block and Craddocks where the only ones with correct main bearing shells. The location tag on the early ones is in a different place to later ones. So £10 set of shells goes up to £60.
Your £300 parts list is very cheap for the amount of parts, Iv'e just paid £120 for a motorcycle piston.
I think I mentioned before to leave the bottom skirt ring off the pistons if they come with them fitted. Pot luck from Paddocks I got two with ring and two without in one set.
