Yeah not a fan of rebuilding something with this extent of damage. The photos don't show enough detail to be conclusive but it looks worse when your looking at it in real.
I have found another engine in England and hopefully I have some luck and can actually buy it and not get sold a dud. Postage will be heaps but I need to take whats available I guess and customs I'm sure will chase me.
Hopefully I can get it. I'll need to buy another turbo as the one on this current engine has oil all through it and a fair bit of movement, but hopefully I can use some parts like the exhaust man, etc.
