We won't really know until the motor is out and the head is off. At least a bottom end though.

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever. WARNING: Towballs used for recoveries can, and do kill people and damage property.
Seeing as theres holes in the block it's not rebuildable. Head maybe salvageable but new motor will need to be sourced. Be interesting to get the crank out tho. .
I've been reluctant to comment here and to be honest feel embarrassed of having a donation thread for me but you guys are awesome and from the bottom of my heart a million and one thank you's for helping me!!!
The shed has been cleaned out, dropped all coolant, no need to drop oil...lol
Bonnet off, all set up to strip this engine and find out what the hell has happened and what to do next.
Positive note, I have concrete to work on!!!
Going to be a long road ahead but I'm committed to getting this back on the road and go camping again.
Leah, Lachy, Mia and I are eternally grateful of the generous community we have all built here!
