its time to bite the bullet. my poor 1100 needs either a complete rebuild or complete new 1100? what would be cheaper .

Either way its a rebuilt 1100, you can't buy a new one so its either rebuild the one you have or get a rebuilt one supplied
:D

and what price is a rebuild????? im in need of a rebuild.....the engine is pushing out a lot of smoke....... so a for a basic rebuild should expect it to cost around 600????

hmmm i would be sayin a little more than that,

I would say about 1500 for a short motor (no head or gearbox or ancillaries (sp))
around that figure anyways. thats new rings,pistons, crank grind etc. give your
local mini places a call. it may be cheaper to just buy the short motorand put your
head and gearbox on there. :wink:

ouch that hurts........lot of money for me........what about just new rings, valves , and gaskets?????

Post subject: 

if you put new rings in then you will have to at least hone the block to make
it worth while. maybe just try getting the head reco first. it could just
be the valves, it will be cheaper than new rings :wink:

Harvey

It is usually the case that if it needs rings it needs a rebore and new pistons and the crank will need at least a polish and new bearings just for a start, there are no short cuts in rebuilding engines not in the long run any way. probably looking at $2-2500 for a new recon engine supplied and fitted and more if you do the gearbox which you really should with a mini

hmmm , hate to say the obviopus mate, but i think you just need to
bit the bullet and get the motor out for a full rebuild, I got a 998 reco short
motor for 1500 a few months ago. I think that is ver reasonable

Post subject: 

yer i think thats recond. the engine i got is the way.....

will it fail a blue slip if there is smoke comin out......???? like not heaps but noticeable
