Engine worn

[Mad rich Clio]

sad day today having taken the Willians engine block to to be reconditioned I get a telephone call saying the bores are worn and new Pistons are required

Where on earth do u oversize pistons and keeping the ratio the same
Don't have 1000s to spend On forged epq Ect

Do I throw the towel in scrap it sell for parts
What would the shell be worth
Or will a 172 engine fit

Really I was hoping to keep original As its a Williams 1 not many left
??

No oversize available from Renault?they make at least one oversize for everything.
Being a williams a block change would out of the question as it is different to the other F7 right?

I definitely wouldn't be fitting anything other than a Williams f7r engine to a Williams, you'll devalue the car hugely deviating from original. Best bet is hunt about on Williamsclio Facebook groups and see if anyone has anything available

Still quite a few mk1 2.0 meganes kicking about could probably use the bottom end with your head
