Hi,

Those of you who have been following my earlier thread (see link below) will know that my mechanic seized up my Landcruiser engine (1HZ) last week by forgetting to put the oil in before the testing driving my vehicle during a routine service. But lets not dwell on that here, this thread is all about fixing the problem.

I'm am looking for recommendations of which businesses in Sydney (I'm in Sutherland Shire) may have experience and would be highly competent at rebuilding a 1HZ diesel engine. My vehicle is currently laid-up at the workshop where it was damaged pending rectification of the damage that I understand under Consumer Law the existing mechanic may have first dibs at doing.

Of course I should expect a Toyota dealership to be able to do/coordinate this work (part 1 below) but are there other niche vehicle service workshops who I could trust to do this work?

Okay to be more specific what I'm asking is for two different aspects of the rebuild as follows:

1. Disassemble out of vehicle and reassemble machined engine and install in vehicle (who?)

2. Reputable machine shop to fix/machine cylinder head and block and reassemble components into short/long motor configuration (who?)

As far as replacement part go (e.g. pistons, rings, bearings, cams, crankshaft, oil pump) then Toyota genuine is preferred but can others recommend good quality after-market suppliers. I have already received guidance from members that places like Precision International and SMS may be okay. Are there others I should consider OR totally avoid?

I would be most grateful for your help as I try and sort out this mess.
