I was looking to drop engine straight in but thought I would inspect first and found a chunk out the side of one the Pistons, not good any advice on rebuild etc? |

Bugger. I'd give it a full inspection at least. If there's chunks out the piston its bound to want other stuff! My build thread..

If you need a hand give us a shout. Myself and Carlzilla (Carl) are between Swansea and minispares often.

Ok brill cheers, I've had about 13 minis over the years but this is my first one for about 4 years suprised that all the parts seem to be drying up and prices have gone through the roof, I done a turbo mini before but I sold it before I finished it but I'm determine to keep this one and do it, any standard turbo Pistons about? |

I'm up the road in Bridgend. Started buying bits to turbo my 998, but I have lots of body panels to replace and two sub frames to restore first.
