    Engine rebuild

    With the liklyhood of terminal engine failure I have just been in touch with the dealer about parts I may or may not require to change my pistons and rods

    Start off with the obvious head gasket set

    well we dont do a head set sir, but we do a complete upper ungine set and that will be:

    £336.76

    Is that including VAT? (Hopeful!)

    No sir that is plus VAT £395.69 :rolleyes5 :stunned:

    Then I will need a sump gasket..........

    It doesn't have a sump gasket sir, we use a sealer that comes in a tube.

    That sounds cheap.

    Unfortunately sir the tube is £44.45 plus VAT £52.23

    :wtf:

    It will do more than one sump though sir

    Last time I looked I only had one sump on my car!

    The main bearings are not listed so I will get a price from Japan for you sir

    So kind!

    I will also get a price just for the head gaskets for you sir

    oooooh cant wait!

    Hi there

    Had my cars spark plug cover off, noticed a un-used tab of the HEAD GASKET and it appears to be metal. So the cost of the head / top engine gasket set I may agree with.
    As for the sump gasket, " REALLY ****** CHEAP " of Mitsubishi, so a quick trip down to " B&Q " for a very small shopping list i.e. " tube of saintary silicone sealant " costing not more than 5/ 6 quid should do the job.
    And the big ends, not sure if the company is still in existence but try this company ---- SOUTH LONDON PISTONS ---- SORRY but i cannot find the phone number for them they were in CAMBERWELL South London. Will PM you their number as soon as i find it and thier address.
