   what work does it take to rebuild an engine not too bothered about time scale as i have allot of time to do it and it wont take my car off the road as it would eventually be a replacement engine
   thanks

   Depends how much money you got and how far you want to go. Why do you want to re-build said engine? What engine is it?

   I don't know exactly how much it would cost but parts alone assuming you'd use OE parts and machining i'd expect it to be a well over a grand atleast if you was careful. Of course it depends on what you replace though. (thats by no means an accurate price, just what i'd expect the cost to exceed)
