Hi guys! I was just wondering if anyone out there knows of a good engine rebuilding shop in SE QLD that isn't going to cost me an arm and a leg. I have a pretty good feeling that my engine is dusted and requires a rebuild. Any nudge in the right direction would be great!
Bloke before you get all revved up (ha ha I tickle me) about a rebuild be bloody sure of the problem.Quote:

Yes it sounds like it has blow by but that is not untreatable.
Research first bloke, research!
Hey mate as I said in my first post, I am only offering advice and Im several thousand k away. As Touses says get it checked before getting a new motor.Quote:

What condition is the oil in? Not diluted with diesel? That can thin it down and allow it to bypass rings. Have a look at this thread:

A great idea would be to have an oil simple done. An excellent indicator of wear and possible cause. How is your oil consumption?
