my engine breather filter turned up today and i have been searching around and have found a place to do some of my engine work 

 

im having :

 

crank regrind

crank lighten 

wedging of the crank

con rods balanced end on end 

clutch balanced 

polished crank journals 

flywheel balanced 

whole system balanced as one

 

for £200 plus VAT    which i didn't think was too bad, when i have the money i shall arrange a courier to deliver them and then 10 days later i have a fully lightened and balanced bottom end, then i will be purchasing all of the engine parts that i want replacing and then give the engine to my engine buider at work to do properly inc new cam bearings etc
