    Best place to be buying series ii early 2.25 engine bits?

    Hi

    looking into rebuilding the 59 engine I have sitting around and am interested in where people have found the best when it comes to buying parts for a rebuild ?

    will get the block etc machined locally all going well.

    TIA

    Hi,

    Paddocks in the UK are pretty good, comprehensive stock but usually Britpart which some have a low opinion of. Craddocks can be good for hard to find parts or otherwise no longer available, essentially the stuff Paddocks don't have. Same goes for John Richards Surplus. I find Craddocks can be a bit painful on delivery times and costs, Craddocks are good and Richards excellent.

    Probably the best supplier of quality engine parts are Turners

    Turner Engineering - Remanufacturer of Land Rover Engines and supplier of Land Rover engine parts

    More expensive than the rest, but from what I understand they are very good.

    cheers

    ian

    Pistons & shell bearings you might find locally.
    A good (old fashioned) engine reconditioner will have a network of companies he can contact to source parts. They will probably be well known brands.

    When I struggled to get +.020" rings for my 6-cylinder motor one company tracked down rings but even the owner said that they were too expensive, another company found +.060" pistons without trying too hard.
