I dont know why a few shops said motor out, but you're right most are done in the PatrolOriginally Posted by nissannewby
@ Jaycee no its not at a shop and nor is it pulled pulled apart.
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"
A turbo 4 cylinder is just that, they may have things in different places, but having working in a Surfs engine bay, give me a Patrol with a ZD30 any day.

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?
My advice is: not to follow my advice.
Just wait till my powerball numbers come through, I suppose lol
Why do ppl always take things the wrong way.
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.

Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.
