Hi all,
Can anyone recommend an engine reconditioner in Sydney.
So far, the prices I've got are $3500 from APA Diesel at Yennora to recondition our engine and $4700 from Villawood Diesel to supply and fit an exchange reconditioned engine.
It has significant blowby, smoke and oil leak problems and I'd rather put the $1500 (rear main seal and timing belt - needs doing in 7000km) towards a reco than a dying engine.
Thanks heaps... michael

Theres a diesel mechanics on Fairfield St Fairfield, cant remember the name, think its All West Diesel, just up from the tavern.
I know they do buses and trucks, I had a service done there on the Lux a while back.
Theres also a diesel place on the Cumberland Hwy, just north of Smithfield.
Cant remember the name of the place though.

what type of motor would help.
East Coast 4WD will do an exchange basis for a fully reconditioned motor.
If not there are heaps of places. Try JEM engines at ingleburn. Wouldnt touch JC Diesel at Narellan. Could also try west end diesel at wetherill park.

East Coast 4wd at chipping norton do a fully reconditioned 3L (2.8) motor on exchange basis for $3,150.
Would save a lot of time and money if your handy with the tools.

Who was going to charge $1500 for a rear main and timing belt?
The rear main seal is $11 from peps and the timing belt kit with water pump is like $190 from east coast 4wd.
