zetecs were designed to be a throw away item, rebuilding them is always a costly adventure.
bearings £100
Pistons £300-400ish
oil seals £80
Cambelt £50
water pump £35
full gasket set £100
then machining £100 ish
i ask why bother even after you have done all that you still have worn out cam gear rods etc etc.
spend £650 get one with everything all new.
there are two real options with zetecs
buy an old one for 50p and run it until it goes bang then get another one for 50p and do the same again
or buy a new one.
if you are totally confident that the head is good then you could just buy a new short block but it seems like a lot of bother for an old engine.
