help in Coober Pedy

Be sure that whoever repairs the car checks for cracks in the sleeves & block behind the sleeves. I have seen several of these motors crack blocks in this area, especially if they are high mileage & fitted with an after market turbo.
Repair required boring the block & fitting a sleeve to the block & boring the sleeve to accept the replacement original type sleeve. Also the water pump flow rate should be checked to ascertain if coolant flow is sufficient.
Hope this is of some help,
Regards, Derek

my mate has gotten back to me and he can't remember the names of either shop we used, and i unfortunately can't find the receipt i should have in my filing cabinet for the tax man...whoops.
sorry can't be of more help, but will say that both shops we used were reasonably priced. which surprised us alot considering the location.

that was the guy who i got my wheel bearing kits from. he stayed back after closing time and went out of his way to help get us going again, including knocking out the old wheel bearings and pressing on and packing the new ones with grease, so we could go back and fit them straight onto our fourby on the side of the road.
that's one of the 2 places i was thinking of...lol
