Hi, I've just joined up today, so I hope I am posting correctly.
We have a Patrol that's timing chain has snapped, it has already had a recon motor put in a while ago and now way out of warranty.
My other half is keen to try a rebuild himself, he is mechanically minded. He pulled it down today to inspect the damage and the valves are straight but have 'stamped' the pistons.
Has anyone done a full rebuild themselves? Looking for advice and maybe some idea of the financial damage either way please?
I'm trying to attach a couple of pictures below. Thank you
G’day Not a Fan Mate.
Apologies, I am definitely not a mechanic but there does unfortunately appear to be a lot of possibly previous heat related engine issues on some of the heads valve seats too
