Hi Tuck,
Well I'm back over in PNG working now, but when I get home i'm going to remove the engine and send it to get rebuilt I think (still deciding, but so far rebuild is winning). It's going to cost me just under $4000 for a complete rebuild using good quality parts.
For me, the car cost next to nothing, the clutch is brand new, the tyres are brand new and alot of other bits and pieces have all be replaced or rebuilt, non of which I paid for, so I think $4000 on a next to new engine is money thats going to give me a car that'll last many more years to come.
I am a diesel mechanic myself and could do the engine for just the cost of the parts, but it takes time, and when im only home for 2 weeks out of every 7, i don't wanna be doing major works to my 4x4, and having to send the head and block away anyway
Replacing with another model engine is also alot more time consuming, and likely to give headaches down the road...
