Shes Blew

As much as i can tell you love your truck, in my opinion, the best thing to do would be to put it to one side until you can afford to fix it, brave the metro... it will get you from A to B with no further damage to your truck!
Having had the heads go on both the trucks we have owned, i saw the damage it did and how expensive it was to fix! It can also do alot more damage to leave it and drive it around, which means more money to save and maybe longer to wait until you can afford to fix it!
This is just my opinion!
hope you get it sorted soon!

Thanks anna i now what you mean i will brave the jiloppi only in the dark thow.

If you need a new block and have the time, could be worth thinking about a V8 conversion a la Vince.

I had to pass up a complete LS400 (with knackered suspension) for £450 because I had nowhere to store it! Gutted!

I was just thinking,i might as well throw a 2.8 in without the turbo.Ithink these do cause a lot of problems as there not intercooled.Apart from that i thought the 2.8 had the same problems as the2.4.But the later 2.8 were modifed engines,i dont now if im right or not.Any way would a 2.8 go straight in.

If the bottom end of the 2.4 is ok, why not put the 2.8 head on it ?
