Looking For A RD28 GU Y61 Motor for a 1999 2.8 Patrol
Hey guys my engine got fried and the mechanic said i will need a new engine, I wanted to find out where I can find one in Australia. Most places I am finding want to exchange for a reconditioned one but because of my location shipping costs both ways would be pricey. So if anyone knows where I can find one that is ready to be put in the engine and go Id much appreciate.
Usually smoke on start up is oil leaking past worn valve guides and or valve seals. Would a reco head be a feasible option or are the rings and bores shot too? I have no idea where you could source another engine sorry.
@BigRedY61
Do a compression test. If the reading is low, squirt a smidgen of oil onto the cylinder wall. (Not too much or you could hydrolock the piston).
Do another test. If the reading rises significantly, the rings are worn. If not the head gasket, cracked head or valves are the problem.
