If you go the engine swap then i might be interested in the engine, would be a good project - what is the average freight for an engine from Sydney to Brissie?

Do a DIY engine re-co they said. It will be fun, they said.
I fix cars.

I have had a few blown head gaskets in other cars and I have always fixed it. Some have needed re-valving and shaving, and some have just blown between 2 pots and needed the gasket replaced. If it was my engine I would repair it myself, and have the opportunity to rebuild the top end in the process. But thats just me.

Problem is, you can pick up another engine for not much more than the cost of the gaskets. and that is not including the shaving/other tasks required to fix the existing one.And if you do it yourself and dont get it right, thats another set of gaskets....
I think that the only time you would fix an FTO engine with a blown head gasket is if you were going to do internal work at the same time.
Ive been looking for a motor that's in the budget range.. Most seems to want 1.2k for one with either unknown km or "80000km"
$700 for one with 130K on the clock. You may have to help remove it as its still running in the car atm. Im dismantling the ute. Got the engine from ichibahn and its done about 500 metres (1/2 km) since I bought it (driven out of shed 5 or 6 times and onto creek flat once). Nothing wrong with it at all, although IMO it would be worth doing the belts before you put it back in. Oh and id be removing a few ancillaries off the engine (alternator, A/C condensor etc) for that price

Who is this 'I' you keep referring to?
He didn't use 'I' once?
He did in DIY, but astron should have said....
Who is this "Y" being "Yourself"
