Changing Tb42 for another tb42

[Trolatron]

Thats good, sounds like i can just transfer all the manual bits over to the new engine.
Im no mechanic at all but i strongly suggest that the motor in it now has a blown head. It was looseng power using water just kept running rougher and rougher. I cant do any tests on it i just dont have the gear or know how to use it. I was fortunate enough to see him start up the engine and hear it running and it sounded very good. Hes a decent guy and im feeling confident its a good engine.

For a blown head gasket or cracked head, you can get it fixed cheaply if you know how/where.

You don't necessarily have to replace the whole motor, unless your existing motor has a badly worn bottom end as well.
What is the odometer reading of your shorty?

The odometer wasnt working when i got the trol 9 years ago so its anyones guess what kms its done. It never did have much power. I use to go wheeling with 2 other shorties and they both ran rings around me. Being on gas was no help either. Just keen to change the whole engine.

Well, if the odometer's been dead for life of the car with you, then that's good enough reason to replace the motor, of course.
