how much do ppl think a full rebuild on a dizzy redtop would cost roughly?
stuff included in the rebuild are : new 1mm oversize pistons and rings,crank reground, new shells,bearings,new oil pump, 2 new valves, block skimmed for 1mm pistons, head pressure tested and skimmed, new gaskets all over? just ur ideas on rough prices including labour. thanks

my mates bill from our local builders was around £800 just on the bottom end..
that was:
0.5mm oversize pistons
block bored, and skimmed
new oil pump
new bearings
pistons and rods match weighed
lightened and balanced (bottom pully to clutch)
built up
add onto that about £250 (i think) for the head to have the porus fix done and some new valves and skimmed
so yeh, about £1000
Vauxhall still actually are able to supply c20xe's on an exchange basis for not much more
