Ok quick q.
Are we aiming for a referb engine or a low k second hand engine?
Or a block and then build.this thing from the ground?

Hey mate, I still need to get the head checked but I have my doubts on it. There is slight damage there.

It's hard to trust refurbished engines in what internals they used too but that may be just me?

I really don't want to build either. I would like to one day build an engine but now is just not the time mate.

Ideally after a second hand long block (no bolt ons) and ideally still in the vehicle too. Obviously a silver top or td42t.

We all know of the horror stories of buying unknown engines not been able to see it run or properly test.

Yep been looking a lot mate and have Patrolapart on the watch as well.

As much as I hate to say this I think patience is the key rather then rushing into anything.

And most refirb prices are with exchange and it's safe to say my engine will be a planter box...

Hey Mate. I had a read and can't help but feel bad for you. I really can't donate at the moment but if my situation betters I will try. It's amazing to see the community backing you. Good luck with the head, I hope it can be reused. Take care.

Thanks mate and don't stress, I'm not really liking the donation thing to be honest...lol.
