EFI to TD42 gift giving for BA.

[Irish]

BA not sure of the situation but im good for $100 if its needed and to help out with labour even if its just cleaning parts for you

You should never offer to clean BA's parts, he just might take you up on it(picture the opening scene from Coming to America)

These are not total figures and complete info but here is what I have so far..

Newby rang with a price on high end reco but the finer details are not worked out as far as exchange or so on for $4400

Sean can get a short engine from Readies with warranty (30days) now he got a price of $2000 but was going to ring him back to put the screws in.

AB was on the phone to Paul at Patrolapart and Paul strongly suggested rebuilding the bottom end and if pistons are fine do not touch them.. Now some vague prices for machining start at $1000 for new bearings and the machine work but this depends on how much damage is done and could be as high as $2000?

The head is fine and would just need a very light shave.

Any thoughts kids?

Have the oil galleries in your block been completely cleaned out? It won't matter what you get done, if there is a possibility of crud causing more problems.

[MEGOMONSTER]

if you go down the 2nd hand motor road what motor would be preferred silver or black top. I can check my sources for prices if you want?

Just do it anyway.
Educational purposes. Lol

I am sorry that this has happened however I would advise you to involve your Wife in any decision that you make.
Your family must come first and you need her support in what you do.

You know I'm in for any help I can mate. I might be able to swing some financial help your way but I'm more than happy to come help George work on it while you just bugger off for a while and relax. My offer stands for Sars to come keep Alexander company for a few hours so you can just chill.

I can even offer up my place to do the work. I have all the tools needed here and not short on space either lol. But it's your decision bud we are all here behind you.

You deserve all this support mate.You are nothing but a total gentlemen (well atleast until we get to know you properly) so now is the time we give back to you.

Call me anytime for any reason specially over the next 2 nights when I'm away haha

It looks like you have a lot of support here BA in getting your troubles sorted.

This kind of gesture makes me glad I started this forum in the first place so my suggestion is to lap it up and take it with open arms to get your rig sorted.

We all know that you'll be there to help another friend on here as already proven mate so don't be shy.

But as mentioned on the phone, lets work out the right approach first.

Paul's suggestion does have a lot of Merritt if other avenues don't work out and if the engine checks out.
