All done, thanks AB =]
I transferred a hungie into Jonnos account couple days ago..oops lol
.....on the move
cash transferred mate :)
Cheers guys I am struggling with this a bit and to top it off I am sick as a dog in bed (thank you Alexander)
I am still not sure which way to go with this.. probably the easiest and maybe the cheapest is to get a short motor. . Readies will not budge with there price but stand by the engine as they say they know its history.
Newby has made a lot of enquiries and the reco is looking to be much to expensive but machining is still an option but this time of year it is going to be hard.
I have tried all morning to get the balancer off the engine but it is stuck pretty good and George came around briefly and had no luck.
Thanks newby sean and ab for looking into these options.
Transferred some cash to AB for you Johnathon
Hope you can get sorted mate
I can come round fri morn after dropping the girls off and give you a hand to get it off if you want man. I can't do it tom as I have to attend a funeral.

Cheers kev but Friday I will be pretty busy with other stuff and if I am well enough will be going away with matty.
George said he was coming around late tonight to have another crack at the balancer .... meanwhile I am 8n bed watching mash.
Thanks for all the support guys I spoke to my wife an hour ago on video and she looked so happy and beautiful I could not tell her yet.
Some very generous donations have been received.
People must like you which is astounding ;)
Hoping you get enough in that you don't have to do the cheapest option if you don't want to.
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 $200???
People keep asking me "So do you know what you are going to do" and " Whats your budget".... No I dont know and the budget is small in comparison to all the options??
I wish that bloody rifle would sell and normally it would sell easy...
I just had a terrible night with chills that nearly made me pass out then followed by sweats that lasted all night... Alexander was playing doctor and looking after me checking my temps and so on, he is such a good boy.
PM sent with my offer of love.
Right now I just want to walk away.................. the balancer will not come off and I have well and truly stuffed the thread and bent the end of the crank...... I cant be f%$ked..
Leave it come here for a coffee
called a few wreckers just now and eveyone is giving me 3 months warranty and prices from 3 to 4k some with and others without change over
Yesterday I asked AB to return everyones money as I cannot see this working... he has refused my request so far.
The cheapest and easiest option is looking like a whole engine but this does not look to be achievable with the funds at hand.
I have lowered the price on my rifle to $700 which makes me want to vomit and even with money I can scrape it will leave me short by a fair bit.
I reached a low point yesterday with some serious depression sinking in and with severe tonsillitis and being so sick this is not helping my mental state.
I still think I should walk away but this is hard to do as I love 4wding and being in the bush so much and was so close to finally have a set up I could depend on and be happy with.
I am still so very sick and maybe not thinking clearly but I am so tired of this all.... when the engine went on the Hume I wanted to walk straight out onto the freeway in front of a truck but my family would have been the only ones to suffer not me.
I am not looking for advice about what I should do I am just venting as my wife not being here is hard with no adults to talk to.....
I want to thank those that have been so generous and if things dont work out AB will return your money as I am not going ahead unless it is doable.
Mate. the Patrol is only a thing. Not your life. Your family is your life. Yes, you are struggling at the moment, but that is life. Firstly, you are a father and and a husband which it is a privilege to be. I can understand how you feel, as I have been there. We've got your back covered so put the worry in the place it belongs, and get on with loving life.
I transferred some money into your account AB but think I may have done the transaction twice
I was going to give it to you in cash BA but I guess this is easier
We are about half way to a financial solution!
All help is greatly appreciated.
I just went into town to put money into AB's account. The teller at the COMMONWEALTH BANK took the money and tried to do the transfer, but she said, as she handed the money back, " I can't transfer money into this type of account. You have to do it via internet banking."
What the hell is a teller there for?!!! I will send it to your post box as per my original plan, AB.
Donation has been sent. Sam has/will be sending a donation through as well BA. We are behind you in what ever decision you make.
the bank account probably belongs to a nigerian prince =P
just kidding, im pretty sure when andy mentioned his account before it sounded like it was an internet banking account, only accesible from the net. i have one of those with NAB and i can only transfer from that account to my savings account, so no direct spendability. makes me consider spending my money a little more before i impulse buy lol
It's in the mail. It would be nice to get a total, so a decision can be made on what to do.
