<p>Do not see any reason why not. The engine is not hugely expensive
(at the moment). It is a simple engine to rebuild. Parts are
available. Do check though if the engine has been rebored or not.
It may have to be sleeved.</p>
<p>Rebuilding an engine gives great satisfaction.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I have often lingered over the idea of
buying a 3000 engine to rebuild. More or less as a
challenge/hobby. And to teach myself how to do it…ie to move
from theory into practise. But these engines are not cheap and
they’re not getting any cheaper.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So – and I’d be obliged if you all forebore
the temptation to buy it! – this is currently on UK eBay. I
just don’t know enough to judge it. Getting those pistons out
seems to have involved something fairly drastic. (Good old
Amatol perhaps?)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does anyone have any advice……? Is this a
“Don’t touch it with a barge pole. It’s probably wrecked.” Or
“Could be a good cheap start point to an expensive project”.
Or what…………..<o:p></o:p></p>
