Big end shells

[jonf]

Hi all,

New to forum, wondering if anyone knew a source of R4 big end shells ?

Possibly part number is AEB4319.

Thanks,
Jon

Are you in the uk??? The location of mk does not mean anything.

mk : milton keynes ! the abbreviation is a result of habit !

What model R4 is it and have you tried getting the shells from your local engine rebuilders? Why do you need them because it's unusual for a 4 engine to have bottom end trouble?

Shells are available from Ferraris piston service (FPS) try a motor factor

Cheers - finally found a decent motor factor who was prepared to track some down - 1st couple I tried didnt want to know.
...oh, they're for an Austin 7 - blew an oil seal and ran a big end.

Cheers for the replies,
Jon
