Aye, no doubt it's a rebore job. But rebuilding the engine just for one run really isn't feasible I reckon...Quote:

I thought about doing a rebuild from the point of view of selling the engine, but honestly, I wouldn't do it in Alice if I could help it. Suttons don't do rebuilds, and considering what it took to order in a single head gasket, I'd be here for the next six months waiting for bearings and pistons to get here...Quote:

Working on it, believe me. Forgot it was Sunday though, so not having much luck with trucking companies/truck rentals etc... :/ Part of the problem though is that I'm still in the same position as I was a month ago - vehicle is going to be too high, or too loaded, or has personal items. Fingers crossed....Quote:

Its about $250 for a hire in melb for a week (assuming you lighten the 110 abit and put the stuff in the towing vehicle).

First thing we checked, but no joy. Nearest one is in Broken Hill - we'd be halfway to Melbourne at that stage.Quote:

Well if you want someone to drive one up from Melb, shout. Dont know how much the flights are from Alice to Melb. Guessing stupid money.

Could be rather costly, fuel alone would be min $700 return???
True....
