Great stuff.

Thanks for the advice.

What gasket silicone did you use?

thats a great idea

Fantastic great job. How long do you think it took?

I hope all goes well for you with the repair, as a bloke keeps saying to me it's only nuts and bolts.

have you done them before?

I busted it in S.A. a local in the town did it I live in Melbourne. I got the conversion kit from Queensland about $2000, that included the hire of special tools and shims etc the labour to fit that and the new head , plus a few other parts $2700

Get it done straight away, I broke one 8 weeks ago , fitted duplex chain and change over head bent valve, all up cost $7750, now I have a slight leak around the timing cover and sump joint.

I broke a timing chain, in S.A. and had it replace along with a new timing cover, it is weeping oil in the corners where the sump meets the timing cover. What is the best sealant to use ? Could anyone recommend a mechanic in the ringwood area to do the job at a reasonable price?

Can anyone recommend a Nissan Navara mechanic in the Ringwood area, I think I need a new sump gasket. I had a timing chain replaced in S.A. now it appears I have a slight leak from the sump gasket around where it bolts to timing cover.

No , a bang at the start, that was it.

If the chain was broken ,you wouldn't have compression. But you would have bent valves as well.

If I had found on fitted and ready to drive away $7k I would have had it. Always good to get a second opinion, beware the word total rebuild, it usually means long motor, then you get hit with the extras, oil, filters, fitting, waterpump , radiator hoses, belts, the list goes on. I hope for...

Change over head, double row chain conversion,new front cover with oil pump,plus oil and filter etc around $7500 that includes labour. You can't get a change over engine under $8000.

$2770 labour and other minor parts. Expensive lesson,maybe need to replace the chains at 100000ks

No , just change over head and new double row chain set up . Car back on the road all up $7270.

I have broken what I guess is the primary chain, bent a few valves in the process, so far $5000 in parts dreading the labour cost.

Thanks for the advice, The car is in South Australia and I'm in Melbourne. So I'm waiting on the mechanic over there to pull the front off and let me know the facts. Just need to be patient. Lucky there is a mechanic in the little town we broke down in.

Was that a secondhand engine ? They are still pulling mine apart no idea what damage yet.
