    I rebuilt the bottom end and valves and got change from $1K But I got lucky and most of the engine was inspec or very close to it so it wasnt a super huge effort do get it done.

    I might consider selling my engine for the right money. I am in Perth. You are welcome to come and have a drive.

    Pull the vacuum butterfly off, you will gain about 10 extra horsepower.

    Thank you, I have worked very hard on it, I have a diesel engine sickness (I have five) in various stages of condition and I am always looking for parts to get them complete. Any bits would be great.

    Ahh, OK. Certainly looks concourse. Well done.

    Btw - you don't have PN's for the fan and water pump do you? And any idea what they cost.
