My SBITS engine rebuild

Post by Kongaroo »

I'd like to thank Peter and Anthony at SBITS for doing an awesome job on rebuilding my engine following my recent misfortune with an iridium spark plug tip breaking off and causing damage to the piston, cylinder bore and taking a large chunk out of a valve.

Throughout I was kept up to date with regular photos and messages and even when a last minute oil leak was discovered coming from an oil seal late Sunday afternoon when I came to pick the car up, Peter worked solidly through till 1am taking off my clutch to get to the oil seal in order to make sure I had the car ready to drive to work the next morning! That's dedication for you - thanks Peter :thumleft:

Basically I figured that I would make the best of a bad situation and improve on my previous forged build so now I effectively have a brand new engine - sleeved block, 87mm forged pistons+rods, uprated valve springs, bearings, replacement oil and water pumps etc. And there's no oil anywhere either, lol.

He also helped me with the planning and sourcing of parts to replace my mongoose with a Titanium exhaust. This went on just this Friday gone at Exhaust UK in Yorkshire and I have to say it looks awesome. I'm really impressed with their work \:D/

Anyway I know these trader feedback posts are supposed to be kept concise so I'll end this post here with a final hearty recommendation for people to contact SBITS if they are looking for someone to carry out their engine rebuild or anything vaguely MR2 related. Peter has worked on my car the last 4.5+ years and take it from me there is no modification that he cannot figure out how to do no matter how complicated, lol.

Oh and keep an eye out for some upcoming pictures in the modifications section!
