hey, thanks
we took your advice and took the part numbers to our nissan dealer, they had to take down our compliance plates and vin and engine numbers and email them to nsw who emailed them to japan to get the part number for the exhaust valves, head gasket, exhaust gasket and valve stem seals!
valves are $25 each ( 4 needed)
head gasket $106
exhaust gasket $98
and each stem seal is $12.50 ! ( x 24)
and the mechanic is charging $390 to shave head clean and check all valves and whatever else he does and then put all the new valves and seals back in ! then we bring it home and put it all back together and it goes like a beasto! (were hoping) and then we have to sell it cos were expecting a little girl at the end of Feb! prams and bub wont fit in fast car! rod is spewin but hes way excited about bubs so it doesnt matter (new stage in life coming right up)! commodore or pajero, here we come !
a big job ! parts are coming from over from over east should be here tuesday! will let ya's know !
thanks for your help, woulda been in tha shit if u hadnt of given us the numbers!
