Sorry to hear that. Are you doing main bearings as well?
$2770 labour and other minor parts. Expensive lesson,maybe need to replace the chains at 100000ks
No sweat. I am facing a $14500 total rebuild if first mechanic is right. I have a Navara with V6 diesel engine that wouldn't start. I got it going & drove 400m up the road before it stopped again. Towed to mechanic who says the compression is down & I need a new engine. After 3 = weeks I've tracked down a diesel specialist who can't look at it for at least a week but a second opinion is truly worth it. No indicators that the engine is bung except for no start & what appears to be a fuel supply problem at this stage.
If I had found on fitted and ready to drive away $7k I would have had it.
Always good to get a second opinion, beware the word total rebuild, it usually means long motor, then you get hit with the extras, oil, filters, fitting, waterpump , radiator hoses, belts, the list goes on. I hope for your sake it's just some malfunction to do with the computor and a cheap fix.
I'm hoping too. I usually do all my own mechanical work as I have for the last 40+ years but I'm time short these days & having an ARB B Bar in front sure makes it difficult to get around the engine. No noises so I doubt if the chain or sprockets are damaged or failing.
If the chain was broken ,you wouldn't have compression. But you would have bent valves as well.
Exactly & there would be nasty noises when turning over.
No , a bang at the start, that was it.
Not a sound at all. It started after some help with startyabastard & ran for 400m then stopped as if no fuel.
