Engine Refurbishment

[judgeshred]

Hi all.

Just registered todayand i'd like some help please. I've got a 1992 LS400 v8 which i'd like to get the engine refurbished on before it goes back into the car (maybe the gearbox too). Could anyone tell me if they've had their's done, where did they get it done, what's involved and what sort of money are we talking?

Cheers in advance :D

First of all welcome to the LOC :D .

What are the engine and gearbox doing out of the car mate :o ?

When you say refurbished, what's actually wrong with it?

Hopefully someone will be along to recommend someone in your area but i've not heard of many LS400 engines being removed on this site.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

It's not actually going back into the same car, i'm putting it in a dodge viper replica that i'm building and as i'm fitting everything new as regards suspension, brakes etc, thought i might as well see if i can get the engine refurbed while i'm at it.

There was nothing particularly wrong with the engine, apart from the oil light flickered on at idle (???) and it's done about 134,000 miles, which probably isn't a particualarly high mileage for a v8, but as i shouldn't have to touch anything else on the car for about another 50,000 miles once its completed, i'd like the same to be true of the engine and gearbox.
