*WANT* 320si Engine

Looking for a new heart to my first BMW nightmare!! After my spark plug electrode burnt off and smashed my cylinder liner to bits, and various "engine reconditioning" workshops/garages saying they wouldn't take on the job to swap the liners for steel and recon the engine I am forced to search for another engine.

If anyone is braking an Si or knows of someone/place, let me know thanks. I am around Nottingham.

Firstly thanks for the links, I agree mine was very enjoyable, especially the burble on idle, whilst I had it anyway!! Certainly miss it now!

As for HThoward they now only supply the liners and do not actually take on the job of fitting them to the engine, spoke with them about a month or two ago. And the "engine recon" shops near me don't seem to want to get in to liner fitment on my engine.

I'll give the engine engineering guys a call as I didn't stumble across them while I was looking but they dont seem to list the n45b20 engine in the engine availability page (i am prone to blindness however). Edit - they do potentially stock them I stopped being blind!

And yes, I've seen the block on sale however I was hoping to pick up a whole block at least with bottom-end, pistons etc..

Also, I know http://www.jcracing.info/ have fitted liners to N45b20 engines. I was in their shop about 18months ago and they had one in.

Located in Thirsk, North Yorkshire.

Just to add, I heard John Cockburn of JC Racing passed away at the weekend, so may not be an option for you presently.
