I'd put aside a couple of grand. You'll know the cost of consumables, gaskets, cambelt kit, rings etc, then I think Phil charges £35/hour labour. Then if its just f**ked rings or stem seals it shouldn't be too much but if you've melted a piston or something you can add on another £500 for pistons, then machining costs etc. I paid him £2300 approx to repair and rebuild my engine... ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Hmmm, touchy subject, but basically the engine was mapped by another company, who adjusted the cam timing, which I believe caused the valves to touch as all 12 remaining valves had identical and consistent damage where they had all been touching each other. Long story short, engine builder made his excuses, I took the company to court, but failed to prove to a judge who knew nothing about engines that this was the only possible cause and so I lost the case. For reasons of libel/slander etc it's probably best I don't mention the company but Phil knows who they are and I would suggest you stay well clear if you need the engine mapping after it's rebuilt... The map Wayne Schofield did for me was miles better anyway to be honest. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

They adjusted the cam timing without consulting you to see if there was any clearance for such an adjustment? That's very bad practice, have they been going s long time or are they inexperidnced?________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

That sounds awesome! yeah its been great, next year the big ones coming out! would be good to see another 306 out there, we need more pugs to help fight the mass of clios that are racing! even though yours is the same colour as mine, might have to get the dulux out over night!  yes the french car race series sounds good if it does happen! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

doh! They heavily pitted by any chance? Thats why mine were replaced. Dunno why mine were like that, looked like some detonation going on. What are you replacing them with? I bought Omegas last piston a bit back but special tuning might still have some, or Mr. Longman. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

no too much piston slap and gudgen pins worn, bores badly worn!so having a very slight re-bore, and new pistons made by CP which will be an exact copy of the ones I have just slighly bigger with rings that are readily available. mine has the 406 coupe btcc bottom end so really fancy pistons ec and really hard to get and expensive! ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

Ah yeah, forgot you had a different bottom end. Custom made pistons? Mmmmmmmmm, that'll be cheap! Are the pistons ok then? Could you not use a new block instead? Oversize pistons will put you above 1998cc, and therefore ineligible for the tintops...! I have my excuses ready already y'see! ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

I was only kidding, would be silly not to allow a couple of overbores. Is Phil rebuilding it for you? I'm sure you'd be able to get rings to suit and gudgeon pins can soon be made up, gotta be cheaper than custom pistons! I'd be interested to see the 406 btcc pistons if you have any pics! ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |

Pistons that were in it had no marking or makers name on them. as you know nothing will be cheap which ever way I go, at least this way I know what I have if I need anymore. not had a confirmed price yet, but prices from Phil and Longman were crazy so this way will be cheaper by far. ________________________________________ Carl Chambersemail; pugnacious.peugeot@yahoo.co.uk .

Between 6 and 700 would be decent ballpark figure I believe, decent reliable ones don't come cheap :/ Similar ballpark for rods.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

What sort of prices did you get from Phil and Longman? Was that just a price to rebuild your engine without knowing what was up with it? I was just going to use Wossner 86.5mm pistons when I re-re-rebuild mine. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |
