Sumps off & it don't look good, cranks rough, con rod same, do I go for a recon engine or rebuild this?

Ok engine is out, had to remove everything from the front & im considering cutting out the cross member to make it easier putting it back in

Good plan, I presume it's possible to see the clutch plate then?

I'm told the terra no engine is a much better choice, does this fit strait in with the mountings, wiring, & stuff?

I now know a lot more about navaras than I did this morning, I've decided to take the engine out, can anyone advise as to wether I should take the engine out with the gearbox or separate it?

Ok I'm going in, or under rather

Thanks, any information is greatly appreciated, I shall be spannering it this weekend so doubt I shall be scowering this forum for info

Hmm how do I tell which engine it is?

Thanks for the advise stelianos, might have a crack at it meself if I can find enough info on here

Why? I'm guessing it's cos the con men that fitted the recon engine with the new uprated big end bolts 3000 miles ago lied, either that or navaras are just shit, bit of both I recon, as you might tell reading between the lines I am not a happy bunny, I've been quoted anything up to £1600 to fit...

Big ends gone again!! I'm told the engine has to be lifted out to drop the sump off, can anyone advise on this?

Grey square with an N in it? Innit

Cost nowt to make it tho

Not sure if this has been discussed I tried the search, has anyone tried running their nav on anything else ie, chip oil, hydrolic oil, old engine oil, monkey piss, anything really would be interesting to know

There yer go Oldie, if the experts told us everything they wouldn't be the experts anymore would they
