There are people around now doing rebuilds on these motors.
I know of at least one guy here in WA doing rebuilds.
At about $10k for a rebuild you would need to evaluate the age of the car.
It does still intrigue me why some of these engines travel 170,000km fine then all of a sudden blow crank bearings.
Has to be some thing to do with oil pressure .
Oil pressure relief valve getting stuck of similar.?
