I think a ZD30 would be a tad more complex than a surf engine
again I have no idea, but I cant see the comparison motors or 30 yrs apart lol
First up John, it's jay see and how did you come up with the conclusion that you have a "blown head gasket between the water channels and the compression chamber"Quote:

Sold..........
That is just bad news that the head gasket is gone, TD. Over 6k to get a head done sounds really expensive though. So what are are your options atm?
Just wait till my powerball numbers come through, I suppose lolQuote:

The diagnosis was done by Frank from Mr Cylinder head
who works on ZD30s day in day out, I have no reason to disbelieve him.
Other advice and tit bits came from Mudski , Chaz , Andrew from OnTrack,, Kealba and
Paul from Outback 4WD in Bayswater.
What's done is done Ill now nurse it till my numbers drop, Don't really want to sell it
just because the head is gone. PM sent MN
So I just did a quick look for parts. $1836 for a new genuine head assy and $195 for an engine gasket kit. This is all genuine parts to dont forget. They are also prices any man and his dog can get as well. So I dont know where you or these other shops are getting 6-10k from.
complete motor swap over
@go2engines mate look them up
Wrong Sweep mate... I dunno who was running that one.Quote:
