Yep I have almost a full motor. What parts do you need?
I also have some pistons as well not a full set as two are fucked.

@OP (no disrespect intended Aza), but you really shouldn't look at any engine with problems like 2 cylinders gone or the like, IMO you could be setting yourself up for more problems.
Have you had any quotes for getting your donk repaired?
What ended up being the problem? Was it hydro-shock? (is that the term? when the cylinder compresses water to the limit then breaks a conrod or something).

The holl thing has been pulled apart and I would only sell as parts not to do a motor swap.
4 out of 6 pistons are fine, heads are fine, block is also fine.

o is it that sounds sweet how much do you reckon it will cost to bring it down to melbourne? sorry I8A4RE dont know where your located since your location is "BOOSTIN in front of you" lol. Also is the engine in good nick? planning to keep my old head cause just got a rebuild not too long ago but everything else ill probably need to swap. My pistons are busted, going to need to buy a gasket kit again and all that =.=.

Id say you would be looking at around $250 to get it down there. Motor was running perfectly except for the stepper motor was fucked but if you just use your one there should be no problems. Oh and I am located in brissie/gold coast

OK, ive found one in Melbourne for you with 50K odd on it for $800. Get back to me if you are interested.

If OP isn't interested, I think I might be. Would probably end up being cheaper than pulling apart my current engine and replacing seals.

Yeah I'll take second dibs, for $800 that's worth getting for a spare

Why not go for a second opinion somewhere else. Try Nandi's Austocare...they do good stuff.
