I personally would like to do a proper rebuild or get that Short motor from Readies but it looks like there is no budget it for that so the cheaper way seems to be the only option.
My only fear or doing a patch up on this bottom end is that there was that knock when the engine was cold and was told it was a gudgeon ??
Also all the timing gears could cost a fortune and was going to price them up today? getting the head checked is another $200???
People keep asking me "So do you know what you are going to do" and " Whats your budget".... No I dont know and the budget is small in comparison to all the options??
I wish that bloody rifle would sell and normally it would sell easy...
I just had a terrible night with chills that nearly made me pass out then followed by sweats that lasted all night... Alexander was playing doctor and looking after me checking my temps and so on, he is such a good boy.
