2.25 diesel motor cactus

As Isuzurover says, possibly as a result of overheating.

Yes we thought overheating or someone's put petrol in it maybe. The oil rings appear to be shot in 1 and 2 as well.

So are we right in thinking the block is a write off with those gouges in the top?

Yes. In theory they could be built back up with weld but that would be a last resort.

you might get a way with a block decking but....

Id build it up with weld then grind it flat, crack check it and see.

if the rest of its ok go get a 2.25P and use its block to make a diesel.
