Sorry to hear this matey.
LOL, if its any consollation, atleast it wont be MAJOR money....you could even probably replace the engine for less money than a repair. This happened on my Skyline and the rebuild with upgrades ended up costing almost £14,000 as the turbo's decided to give up just 800 miles later!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nobody is being insulting, just having a laugh.

Just like you would if roles were reversed, so chill out please.

you need to chill big man, yes what's happened is bad but some are trying to be light hearted about it. time you stopped taking things to heart and laugh things off.
you dont see me losing the rag every time somebody slags my pink motor, i laugh it off cause i dont give a s**t, christ calibre ray slags mine of all the time but as i keep reminding him mines may be pink but its still faster than his :twisted:

Sorry to hear this Gordy, last thing you need when you're trying to get organised to go down under mate.

Best get the sump off and take a look, might not be as bad as you fear mate.

do you know the history of the spare engine? possibly buy a service kit and timing belt kit and take the gamble and fit it? im sure there is people on here willing to help to do it possibly for the price of a few bacon sarnies and cuppas.

hi stevo , yep i know the history of the engine it was my old v6 from my green car and is a better engine as the top was all done before i took it out!

i would have to get it striped down and checked as its been outside for a while but coverd.

one thing i would do is the timing belt ket etc as its easyer to do when out the car lol but no funds to do it with atm! :-(
