Hey team
Pulled the head of the 3 litre diesel and found 3 and 4 piston both cracked ok no big deal i can change them and rebuild the motor of more concern is the head it has a small crack in same place for each piston. a mate tells me these ones are normal and no issue bit i trust him not :) so hopefully some of u lads can shed some light i can afford the rebuild on the motor but if i need to add a grand for head then the patrol is dead :)

Sorry to hear about your motor, but I wouldn't be putting a head with cracks back on a rebuilt motor.
