I was told by mechanic that it will need shells and block sent away to get crank grinded. I am right stressed out over it all as my engine been fully serviced and timing belt etc all done 3k ago. It is the not knowing which option will work as I could put in replacement engine with issues or put new pump in and discover damage problems later with current engine.
I don't have time to break car. I will keep looking for engine bwa preferably as looks like the new oil pump and vat, labour charges will cost more and be a bit of a gamble. Thanks Danboy
