How were the prawns ???

They were quite sweet Razz

.

I've seen the head - they say that basically, the back water passage is so badly corroded it cant even be welded, so I am up for a second hand head or a reconditioned head. The cylinder at the back is badly worn - probably overheated and it is also corroded. The one in front of that was also getting some water too.

I was quoted about $5000 for them to fit a second hand head and do up the bottom half of the engine and refit it - they are going to get me a more accurate figure. This is from a Toyota dealer where the car is sitting (headless poor dear) now.

I rang Repco after a good friend suggested it and I can get a fully reconditioned engine installed in the car for $4020 ($3560 without installation).

The third option was a Japwreck engine for $3850 fitted by the Toyota dealer

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to go.
