I found on ebay a rebuild kit for the 1.8 bp engine, its comes with:

pistons, rings, main bearings, gaskets, valve seals, oil pump, cambelt kit

its in the states and will be £300 with P&P, is it worth it? The only other thing i'll need is the water pump. the pistons cam come oversized too which is a bonus.

Ive got the engine in my garage, Im yet to start on it, but I want to strip clean rebuild it, then put it into my mx3. without starting work on it yet though I dont know the condition of the internals, so im holding off ordering the kit until I find out the state of the bores.

I do try to be as cheap as possible. Being a small company with low buying power that often means almost cost price, lucky I enjoy doing it!

Some of those parts I probably wouldn't have.

Buying kits like that from the USA often works out cheap, but quality is variable in the extreme. Stick with known names.

Stay away from topline gaskets as far as you can. They are rubbish!

I had wiseco pistons, it is a very known company, toga is a jap tuner wich i had for conrods, bearings and hv oilpump.
Taylor ignition wires are good, but need to take care of them, they damage easily with disconnecting your leads from the pluggs.
