How much for a rebore and pistons?
Well I've stripped the 2.0L zetec I got last week and it really needs a rebore. So anyone had a short engine rebuild recently and what did it cost?
Gudgeon pin on these is shrunk in so that'll have to be done by a pro as well.

Been speaking to a local rebore company and he reckons about £350 to bore and supply pistons and rings with the gudgeons fitted. He needs to see the pistons first but the price may be even lower.
I want the car to be the best I can get it so am going to see him Friday.

Agree with Ash, unless you want to use the opportunity to go to 2.1l, it's probably better to start with new. If you're having a rebore, you'll need new bearing all round, and it would be false economy not to replace oil and water pumps, and cam belt. The costs will soon be more than a new engine. Alternatively, get another one from the scrappy, cheap as chips, and there are loads of good ones out there.

I woud have to agree with Ash & Adrian
 Been there & done that a few times .... Never works out as cheap as you thought it was going to be !!?? As said, once the re-bore has been done it would be madness not to do the crankshaft bearings, the majority of the time this will involve a crank re-grind. Once that lot has been done it'll be time to examine the head ?? If the bores are badly worn then the cam followers are not going to be much better, nor the valves & seats for that matter !! Gaskets, head bolts & pumps to be added onto the final total  By the time that little lot is added up, a crate engine from GBS seems like a bargain. If you don't want to spend that sort of cash, you should be able to find a good, used 2 litre zetec engine for not a lot of money  Unless an engine is exotic or difficult to get hold of, engine re-building tends to turn out being a money pit.
