Engine rebuild & Paintwork YPVS 1983

[gaelicfoota]

Hi all and sorry as I am sure this has been discussed before.

I have decided to completely rebuild my 1983 RD350 LC2 31k black, it has one previous owner but now stood for 10 years.

It is turning over but I want a complete rebuild, who do I go to for an engine rebuild / restoration, I am in Walsall West Mids.

I also want it repainted, who is reccomended?

Thanks in advance.

Hi
Welcome to the forum 😉
Paint - I use Mark Cordwell in Derby. Brilliant quality and does loads of lc/pv's.
Engine - have a go yourself as they are easy to do. Pjme in Wednesfield will build a crank or do your rebore so nice and local to you.

Hi gaelicfoota

I am over in Brierley Hill, so not a million miles away. I would recommend Grampian for crank rebuilds and rebores. I also use an old school engineering shop for some rebores over Rugeley.

You can also get exchange cranks off Norbo from his shop, so no waiting time at all.

You can at least strip the engine yourself and get the casing cleaned up or vapour blasted.

Just make sure you use a proper JIS screwdriver, as the screws are not Posidrive!
