Engine Rebuild Parts

[AndyD]

Has anyone on here done a full engine rebuild?

I currently have a 1.6 (G16A) in pieces ready to rebuild, but my local garage (run by a friend of mine) is struggling to find the parts I'm after. All they can definitely get so far is the full gasket set, timing belt and accessory belts.
But I'm also in need of;
Main Bearing Shells
Thrust Bearings
Big-End Bearing Shells
Piston Rings

Anyone obtained these before?...

Hi Andy,
I have done a full engine rebuild, but only on a F10A engine. that was 10 years ago.
I have no idea about the G16A engine.
I cant help you matey, sorry , but im sure someone here can.

Thanks for the offer mike, how much is the right amount? Though I wouldn't need the pistons and pins if it's the full kit you have.

So it seems they can get me what I need at £252 total.
Could you better that mike?
And might it matter the size of parts you have?
According to Haynes I need the main bearings in Std Sizes; 2x Yellow, 3x Colourless, big ends and piston rings would be Std size.

Glad they could help matey! And thanks for posting up the prices that's really handy as I have a few 1.6 8vs that could do with a rebuild!
