Very Poorly Shogun

Mudlark:
Yesterday on my way to a off-roading spree in Wales I came to a steaming halt on the M5 eventually being transported home on the back of a big yellow truck with yellow flashing lights :(  

Well I spent most of today - about 5 or 6 hours - taking the head off my Shogun to find:








I had a premonition about it being a piston :cry:  :cry:  :cry:  :cry:


Question is now - or rather tomorrow after pricing parts - is what do I do

The options as far as I can see are:

Replace piston and rebuild

Get replacement short engine (engine ex head) I should be able to source a 2.5 replacement here

Get replacement full engine - again I should be able to source a 2.5

A replacement car either SWB or LWB

All of these could well be around the same sort of price each obviously has it's own problem



Decisions decisions  #-o  #-o  #-o  #-o


And NO a Land-Rover product is not an option!!! :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

OUCH

wheeler:
i had same prob 6 months ago but i snaped a valve
nackered head and piston i see by the pics the head is damaged cyclone diesel aint it
any how i priced it up and to do all the work my self it would cost about 1000 quid
engine parts very expensive and how far do you go
pistons 80 od quid each might as well do all for
new valves 12 and 8 quid each
if you put pistons in do you do big ends  etc as its apart
cam belt ballance shaft belt head gasket set was quiet dear
and how muck to repair head or even second hand one
your cheapest option is 2nd hand engine

That is melted piston you see on the head

However there may be a possibility of the head now having a crack in it :roll:

bezzabsa:
buy another shogun - nick the engine - then sell the rest on, looks like the best option.....or buy a landy :D:D:D:D:D:D
