V6 Jackaroos are a real pain to do anything on, engine wise. Dads Jackaroo on gas has towed a 18-20 foot caravan on a 20000 k trek around Aus. The gas caused head issues. I helped strip the heads off and it was an absolute nightmare. It took almost 5 grand to repair. (New pistons, rings, honing the bores, reconditioning the heads, gasket kit, timing belt, thermostat etc, etc). Dad has stripped the gas system out and fitted a long range and aux fuel tank, ready to tow the van to WA and back. Body and suspension is still in pretty good nick.
