I have my 79 Spitfire engine down to the block, but still in the car. I know it needs the thrust washers replaced and I know it will need some piston work. Since I have never done an engine rebuild I need some advice from those that have been there.
If I pull the engine and send it to a machine shop how far do I need to strip it down for them and will they put it back together and test it for me? How much do you think it will cost (roughly)? I am not afraid to pull it and do most of the work.
I am not going to try and make it a race car. I just want it to be rebuilt so I can go back to using it as my daily driver again. I want it to be reliable (as a LBC can be!)
