Anyone recommend an engine builder in Bristol/N. Somerset?

Trigger:
I use T&L engineering. Most people do not realize that all the corrosion needs to be removed first. This can be done by soda blasting the engine first. Vapour blasting is basically aqua blasting with a media mixed in. It is no good on journal areas but, if you soda blast first then reassemble the casings and plug before vapour it turns out OK. 

JamesH:
Thanks Trig, good to know. So do T&L do both the soda and vapour blasting.?

Trigger:
Yes, they start off with putting the engine in the steam cleaner. Than strip, before another steam clean. Soda blast then vapour.
Very nice finish :) :) :)

K2-K6:
It's always good to start any engine strip with a proper steam clean.....it makes sense to me to clean all the crap off before you even begin to take it apart and if you are doing it yourself you can crack all the external bolts and screws while it's hot to help you get them started.

Bryanj:
Given ther correct notice and a following wind I can rebuild the engine for you (2 miles from junction 12 M5) but i cannot get involved in blasting/cleaning/painting
