Just wondering if anyone could give me an idea of the cost to rebuild an 
early R16 engine (3-main).  This would include the cost of parts: rings, 
bearings, seals, etc. machine work such as valve work, etc.  I have never 
done this sort of thing before but I think it would be a good project for 
this winter as I think my engine could use a rebuild.

I would also need to replace my second gear syncro and probably the first 
syncro too in my tranny.  Is this difficult or could a mechanically inclined 
person do it alright?

I ask because I think I'll have to either rebuild or replace with a 
different engine soon.  Or drive it less (ya right!).  I'll probably do 
whatever is cheaper as I don't have a whole lot of money for this car.  I 
would like a bigger engine though.  The R16 has some spunk but it just isn't 
Fast!

Any price estimates or thoughts welcome.
Thanks,
