I think my question got lost above Zeto.
Genuinely interested in the breakdown of costings, please.
Rough parts list and prices for a blown Ulster engine. No labour costs or external machine shop (boring, lightening etc) costs. Worth remembering that if anyone thinks that they can pay much less an hour to a specialist to do this type of work that they pay a mechanic to service their Mondeo they may be living in the past. I've spent most of the Christmas holidays putting together a blown engine from a bare crankcase and the hours don't half rack up.
Yes, open to criticism and you could shave a grand or so off if you tried. Of course anyone from Yorkshire could almost certainly do it for half the price!
