Lucky break (see what I did there ) with the valve lodging in the piston. Shouldn't be to crazy to fix, and it will be nice to have a nice fresh engine to go with all the work you have put into everything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the issue is doing the job and warranting it for no leaks, and not having to charge $x,000. Bruce Buchanan had a comment about them in another thread somewhere. Probably going to have to end up getting a patient friend and reading all the DIYs and just getting it done yourself. Seems to be plenty of tips and diy information in various targa threads.

That was about 4 months ago I think Paint and Custom in Thornburry have painted a few Targas - might be worth calling Louie and asking him who puts the screen in?

LeeM Posted 5April, 2018 Report Share Posted 5April, 2018 If you need them, wait till you get a quote for pistons and barrels! I'd advise you sit down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D'Silva Posted 5April, 2018 Report Share Posted 5April, 2018 are you sure you need 6 of the brown chain guides? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter M Posted 5April, 2018 Report Share Posted 5April, 2018 And he has included in the quote 3 different types of ring sets. Since you only need one complete set of the type required - that's why he has asked you to confirm the engine type and ring size - it will be a few hundred dollars cheaper than the total given. Like Mike says, you might want to check the parts list as I thought there would be a combination of brown and black guides. Also the gasket set? Suggest you download the PET to check the part numbers and quantities. Your existing No.8 bearing may be still in spec and reusable too. I'm funding a rebuild at the moment and my favourite eye watering expenses have been the P&C's, a new 5th gear set ($2k) and set of rockers ($2k).

ANF Posted 5April, 2018 Report Share Posted 5April, 2018 At least you got a quote from BWA.... I have given up waiting! Much cheaper from overseas anyway, even with paying import duties and GST...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the past I have bought a lot off BWA, but still waiting for a quote on parts after a month, with a follow up or two is too much. Ok the much cheaper bit is not overly correct but parts from Pelican, Auto Atlanta and even FCP euro and better priced, plus there are some 928 specific ones. Rose Passion in France has also just popped onto my radar and I will be getting some stuff from there. I try to buy from Aussie suppliers where I can.....

Yes, and in the past I have bought a bit from them as well, but of late it has proven too difficult for them to either receive my emails and/ or respond to them, phone calls as well. Not sure what it is with me.... after a while I got sick of asking the same questions with no response.... I pretty much started buying all I could off BWA and Autohaus, but found their service/ communication lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
