Finally saw sense in your comments and got a complete rebuilt swap over, including new head. Also opted for a fuel system rebuilt pump, new injectors etc. Not cheap but probably due soon anyway. SMS Diesel were good to work with and pricing was fair--long motor < $5k and fuel rebuild etc $2,800.
Not much change out of $10k and I still have labour to install. Checking Exceedy clutch while it is apart.
Thanks for the advice and sage head.

If it any consolation mate I spent 14k rebuilding my 3l. Shoulda replaced or upgraded. I'm happy with the result but still it was big $$$.

Endine number
So I have my nicely painted replacement engine--black paint on the block. I can't seem to locate a stamped engine number. Maybe on a flat on the casting rear passenger side( is that left from the back or right from the front ) but it is not looking promising.
Help please.
