OK full story.
Mate found a cheap paj. I talked with the guy as his ad said it needed a new head. Turned out that it was a fully running engine with a sticky valve. Called the wife and told her and she said no way.
Father in law came over today as he didn't beleive the bolt was stuck. Between us we removed what was left of the timing cover and re set the belts. After that we managed to get the bolt to start to go back in. Then when testing if it would undo it just snaped.
I was holding an old spanner in the flywheel while F.I.L. was using the breaker bar on the bolt.
He is now getting prices to have the remains removed before accepting that I need either a new crank or just replace the enjine.
So far its
$880 for a rebuild kit with everything including pistons but no crank.
$2450 for a jap import motor.
$4500 ish for a new koren built 4D46T.
And Ace yes mechanical stuff just loves me.
Freind was tell the wife that some people are just meant to ride the bus.
RSPCA has already pre declined me from owning a horse
