    Now he said its a bloody costly job but never said how much.

    I'm not one to tackle it myself so I was wondering how much it would cost to reseal the timing cover both front and rear as well as the water pump? (to get a mechanic to do it)

    What are the chances of severe corrosion or anything on it?
    Could it potentially make the job cheaper if I removed the engine for the mechanic?

    Thanks in advance.
    Its a pretty basic job mate. @Winnie has a thread somewhere where he has taken all that off. Buy a new water pump and tackle it yourself if you have even half skills mate. we will help you with any questions no probs.
    Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!! ....... I'm a lucky bugger! I've got 2 of em!

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
