Engineering company wanted.
Can anyone recommend a good company in the North Kent area, preferable in Medway or Maidstone, who can rebore a Pinto block?
I have stripped my donor engine down and need to get the block rebored as the engine has done about 400,000!!
Also if anyone has a nice big valve head with a fast road cam for a 2 litre pinto....
Alex.

Thanks for the recommendations guys.
I spoke to LCP and they have a semi-retired gentleman who works a couple of days a week, doing rebores and possibly other old skool stuff. Their
quote for a pinto rebore is just under £70, so not too bad.
They farm out any crank regrinds and that would be about £190!! Think I'll measure it carefully before just rebuilding the bottom end...
I also talked to Minister Power as they are between my home and work. But they farm out any rebores to LCP!
I'll let you know how good LCP are in a couple of years when the engine is rebuilt and in a car!
