mops 4 Report post Posted June 11, 2006 my recomendation: it will be cheaper to buy the same engine off trademe than rebuild yours.... camshaft is likely to be ~US$200+ shipping from US, and set of rockeds... i dunno, you would have to check. since you will be doing that you will need aswell all head seals, most likely inclusing new headgasket and new headbolts. (read another ~NZ$300-$400). now thats if you do the job yourslef. expect several hundred NZ$ from a reputable workshop for labour... for $500 you should be able to fuins a decent 318 engine on trademe.... possibly even 318 IS engine....
