2.4td engine, maybe

[guysturg1]

cheers, even if i can't get away with the block then i can probably still use the crank

[stormforce]

they turn over ok by hand so they both should be ok i should think

[guysturg1]

any luck on the pics for me, as long as the pitting is not too bad i may get away with taking it out with some honing or wire wool,

[stormforce]

I got pics of both engines so i'll post pics later for you as i got to clean the birds cages as one has just died

[guysturg1]

sorry to hear that, is it the one which you said was ill

[stormforce]

Hi Guy.Yea it was the one that was ill.I got the task now of having to totally scrub everything now to make sure everything is ok for the other birds now,
Pics to follow v v soon of engines

[stormforce]

first 3 are of the engine still in the truck



these 4 are of the other engine out of the truck




Sorry for the nuts and bolts still in the pots lol

[guysturg1]

any ideas on the mileage or how well they'd been serviced as the only part i could use is the crank

[stormforce]

i forgot to check the speedo for milage.

[guysturg1]

sorry for taking my time to reply had a few probs with internet, do you know if theres any damage to the crankshaft on either engine as both of them look as though they've been exposed to the elements for a while, if the sumps off either block could you unbolt the con rods and have a look at the bearing journals for any damage, Guy

[stormforce]

The block thats on the floor was taken out several weeks ago.I haven't got the time to strip the bottom out as i have a lot of other parts to get off for sending.Both engines had the heads go and they turn over ok with no sticking or anything
