CPOCSM - If you are on your way past and dropping into see harvey69 - I'll donate a VRS Kit (Head Gasket and all the top-end gaskets to help you swap your head onto the motor)

let me think on this

A good labour force is good but Tait (thats Harvey's real name) needs some people that have been around a mini before

It could be a good venue to teach people how to pull and motor and how to do it safely and properly

Just let me think on the ramifications as well as the pros and cons.

I wish you had answered all my questions.
I have a soft spot for students especially those coming up to major cross roads like the HSC. I know how it feels when your whole world comes crashing down like when an engine fails and you are looking at time and money you dont have.

I was going to suggest that I have a few engines here that would get you out of trouble. They are second hand but were working when they came out of their cars. Beyond that there are no warranties but any one of them should be a driveable motor.

I am offering you the motor - its free - its a block with crank, pistons etc, no head but never been pulled apart. I am also hoping that some one closer to you will help you change over the engines onto the gearbox and get you back on the road to your next steps. Metal cross beams are okay but hydraulic engine lifters and a bit of experience goes just like Pecks Paste - ask your grandfather about that one.

Anyway, this way you are up for about $50 in gaskets, some time and then get back to whats important. That is the HSC

pm me for my telephone number if you are in NSW

Anyone else willing to help a kid out ??????????????????????
