I recently bought an 1800 motor off the forum which was installed in my 74 panel yesterday.. Sold as a good 2nd hand engine
Unfortunately the motor is useless
On start up there was a horrible clanking sound followed by a bang.. Result - thrown con rod..

So is there any one in SYD that has or knows of a decent type 4 engine available?.. For a decent price hopefully..
Thanks
Rob

Rob,

Give Steve at Mcallar Service Centre a call. He has quite a few engines for sale.

Let him know that Luke said to call.

His number is 99392467 and he is located in Brookvale.

Best of luck.

Its not just the $$.. Its the fart arsing around and inconvenience to everyone..I now have to spend my whole day trying to find a cheap 1800 to get me out of a jam..
The Panel its going into is the local Rugby Clubs.. I donated the bus and keep it on the road for them.. So it is a love job..

Now my mechanic has spent 6 hours installing a motor that doesn't work.. He has my bus taking up space on his hoist on a Friday when he has cars coming out his arse.. You can imagine how he feels as well..

So.. I have to hit the phones until I can get a motor.. then pay for it, pick it up and deliver it... Today!!!

Then I will get onto the bloke that sold me the pup..

Christ.. The things you do for love!!
