FIA Engine refresh

Post by Paul999 »

Hi all

Wasn't sure whether post here or technical, but my 1293 engine needs a rebuild after I buzzed it. Definitely needs a pushrod and a piston :lol:

Any recommendations beyond MED and Swiftune for the budget conscious racer?

Thanks, Paul

Hi all, thanks for the recommendations.

Dropped the engine off at Southam today. Seemed a really nice bunch and had the advantage of being pretty local.

Cheers, Paul

Yeah he's spot on. Really helped us out after getting stitched up by another engine builder.
