Hi all I've been going thru some old posts on rebuilds but still need some help. Bought a 1991 turbo deisel with 210000k looked in great condition for $13500. Blows white smoke on start up. Took it to diesel mechanic who did a compression test and said low compression in all cilinders and almost nil in cilinder 4. Short story is rings shot. Can get full rebuild kit for $1300. Have a mate who can do the install for around $3000. Has anyone done a rebuild, any problems and is it worth the big bucks. Seems to run OK may even keep going for years but am planning a trip towing camper trailer and worried about major dramas. Any advice would be of great help.
