S2dude,
PM sent to Tom....see what he has to say..



Caterpillar,
Interesting idea...if I could find a decent short block....or does Auid still do these...I'd love to know the price..

i knew I had seen someone selling one on this forum recently!!!

This guy has some parts for sale but i have never dealt with him so you would need to verify the seller with other members or on the phone with him before parting with cash

Thanks for all that info...this board is great..

Lots of advice and people to talk to today...

Both the repair and sale options are still open... its the numbers that will sway the arguement...

Pistons were £500+ VAT for me, you may be able o source them cheaper but at the time every day counted and it was more to the fact they could delivery next-day. So you could shop around.

I'm not 100% on this one, but you may be able to get oversize rings? Can anyone else comment on this? I'd imagine it would be a bit cheaper than replacement pistons. Might be better going down the replacement block road...

There is of course, many associated costs, ie all gaskets, replacement bolts, etc to a rebuild...
