Bad news from Marcus H.(my mechanic) himself:
"Hey Derek, I got the head off and there was alot of
water in the cylinders, even in the turbo. I also
drained about half a gallon of water from the oil pan.
The head gasket was blown badly. Even with the head
off, the crank turns over very hard. The bottom end
has obviously sustained damage from the water in the
oil. Since this is a 7 bolt motor, I would recommend
that you replace it with a good used 6 bolt motor
instead of repairing it. I could not get through to
your cell phone for some reason. I will get prices
together on monday for the replacement of the motor.
Thanks
Marcus"
So....I need a new motor. Anyone got a 4G63 they wanna sell? Id like atleast a block (cuz Ive had a few offers for cheap heads) and maybe Ill just buy a head and block seperate. Im on a severely tight budget, so the lowest price helps (ofcourse I need quality fairly low mile parts), but if you got what I need, please make an offer. Thanks
