As noted from older posts, my block has a crack on the water pump housing, ive decided pretty much that its gonna be no good trying to fix it.
a whole new engine is out of the question as it is too $$$ for me right now.
I have called round a few wreckers and they say i can get a block for ~$500 mark. however as u don't get much for your $$$ i am assuming u don't get crank, pistons, rods etc. if you do thats a bonus.
but if you don't
can i use the original pistons, rods, crank (retty much everything from my bottom end and rebuild it? (i am assuming that neither engines have been bored or rebuilt).
and by rebuild i mean rings, bigends, bit of a clean up and balance.
is this possible?
