How much was the engine rebuild? (If you don't mind me asking.)
Steve.
Hi Steve.. lets just say it went into 5 figures... but it was worth every penny

Steve.
I would guess the usual suspect on a 3200.
Dave
Did you have the heads done at the same time.

Manual 3200
Yes Rex, plus the chains although they didn't need replacing... the timing was way out too
Luckily for me when I started collecting the parts about 12 months ago for the rebuild most of the stuff were still available
unlike today unfortunately.
Dave
So you provided some the parts , big end and main bearing shells. The figure stating with 7 was labour I presume, takes a lot of hours to strip , clean and reface 32 valves and seats, as well as adjusting clearances. Worth it though 3200 will be worth the money but it will take a few more years.

You would break an GS LE for parts. I think there would be many takers to buy it damaged. To have a rare beast like that£10.7k...wow.
If im honest and my GS needed that I would probably break it for parts.
I have known people spend more on a Vauxhall engine for a Ford Escort Rally car for it to only last a couple of events.
