Could someone point me in the right direction of a good engine rebuilder that hasn't got a years waiting. I understand good rebuilders will be very busy. The engine is currently stripped and yes I know this is a problem too but I've decided i don't want the person doing it to carry on. I will have new pistons barrels (rebored)and mikuni carbs once the bill is paid with Keith. The bottom end is together but will need taking apart to be checked. Thanks
 
where in the world are you, please, and what needs to be done, what condition is the engine in, what millage?

The biggest points are typically the crank and the head. Both take time and good companies as you said have a years waiting list or more (waited 3 1/2 years for my 1000 SFC engine to be completed...).

So - is it basically a relatively unused engine with an oil leak causing the strip-down or was it a major failure etc., please? Keep in mind, that what looks good does not necessarely have to be good. I always consider the "iceberg-effect": what you see is just 1/8th of the real size of the issue...
 
Hi I am in the U.K.  The engine has around 20000 miles on it. The reason for the strip down was due to it being un used since around 1990. The engine has been stripped and checked and I've been told that's it's ok only problem was the pistons rings were stuck and when removed chipped the pistons. But I no longer want the builder to complete the job.
