Which parts do you need. Put a request in the Wanted section here. Also contact all the traders. They often have second hand parts for sale.

I am just going to rebuild my Series MM engine so tell me what you want and I will probably be able to tell you where to get it.
For a start you will need a complete gasket set, a clutch drive plate and thrust bearing and a set of con rod big end bolts. You will need to know what size pistons and crankshaft bearings are available before you have the engine rebored or crank reground. Also check the block for cracks.
What is wrong with your engine? Why are you rebuilding it? You have only just fitted a new cylinder head

Hi Michael,
I must rebuild the engine or rebore the block, because when I had the new head engine plausível new head gasket, there are a water leak between head and block , so it is necessary to rebore it.
And because I have a leak of power in one cylinder I' think is better to put news pistons and so on.....but of corse first we must desmantle the engine and we will see what are our needs.
Michael I will need your help!
For the moment can you find for me the available size for the pistons and crankshaf bearings?
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Carlos - a water leak between block and cylinder head suggests the block may need to be surface skimmed - not 'rebored'. Assuming the 'new' head is flat of course. But of course it may also be a crack in either block or head. :cry:
