Geoff,,   I thank you for that..   I would like to give you 'first refusal'..  My engine runs strong and only weeps a little oil on the left side in little spots.   Go get 'em !!

I've got two sets but three engines for two trucks. So I am in no rush either.

Here is another that show the contents

Quite a jump in price, however.

 Think on it, the seller will not be around for a week. If by next weekend you still don't want it, I will likely decide its cheap enough to have on hand.

 Gasket sets and main bearing are the hardest thing to find for these engines. Oddly oil pumps seam to come up often either complete or kits.

When I find cheap spares, I often get them. Finding some when you have a need can be hard and expensive.

The blasting cabinet really is a good thing, I bought one some time ago and promptly modified it

Better lightning is a must and Ill change the crappy perspex screen for a laminated glass screen I think next 

They really do help clean things up

I also bought a small one on wheels and it really hooks right in 

My son got me onto a big ass compressor from where he works

It's 2500 km away but I figure it's a good excuse to go for a drive and say hello
