Guy Salmon say the crank's had it so it's for scrap or....

Is there such a thing as a reliable company that can fit a recon engine? Everything I've seen so far suggests 99% of these recon co's are charlatans at best and gangsters at worst.

If anyone has any positive experience/recommendations I'd be glad to hear them, the garage says around 8k to source and fit a new engine which just isn't going to happen - I'd rather scrap it and buy a runaround for a quarter of that /

 

This is wrong forum for a 2001! Try XK8..............

Yes you are in the wrong forum area however I would suggest simply buying a complete engine out of a wrecked vehicle Im always keeping an eye on Jaguar motors and they are quite plentiful

The only time I would suggest a rebuild is if you were to increase the displacement which Yes would be exciting but definitely not cost effective

 

For a 2001 you also have the option of an LSx swap if you really like your car but want more power and easier to find parts:
