rebuilting my engine with forged internals. Is belfab the only option?
Firstly I am in the UK
Valve stem oil seals are on their way out so I bought a spare 1.6 engine which I am going to strip and build. I will be getting an engineering company to build the bottom end for me.
I am wondering what options I have for parts? Belfrab Racing's kit seems pretty complete but I wondered if I could do it cheaper? Am I paying extra to belfrab for the convenience they've put all the bits together?
I look forward to your input
cheers

Belfab is a great deal, but you could also look at FM Weiscos and ETD rods. You'll spend a bit more but the quality is better.
Whether it matters that your motor will do 600whp vs. 500whp is up to you, though.
