Furio to Vtr/vts

[Stefan_Wood]

So i think my headgasket is near enough gone had a few quotes from garages and they all saying around 350-400 depending on head skimming and i know it will need one becuase of overheating problems.

My question is how much would a garage charge me to fit a complete engine either vtr/vts or should i just get the headgasket done

[saxo-parts]

vtr engine supplied and fitted with new cambelt,clutch etc £575-650 dependant on year
vts engine supplied and fitted with new clutch,cambelt etc £850-950 dependant again on year

What about if i was to supply the engines thanks

[saxo-parts]

wouldn't be too keen on doing it using parts supplied by customers tbh, we'd be running the risk of being given the wrong parts,parts missing,engine running like a bag of poo and having customer blame us. It happened to williams_vts on here when he did one for a fella who started a mega long thread slating williams for faults that weren't his problem

[Stefan_Wood]

Think i can remember that thread, but yh i can understand and i would rather have a engine that i know is working. How much would just the headgasket be with the head being skimmed ?

Would you suggest getting it done on a 1.4furio 02plate or just put a different engine in

[saxo-parts]

£325 to fit head gasket,new bolts,cam belt,tensioners,water pump,oil and filter,skim head,fresh anti-freeze
