Hiace Super Custom

[Master_Simon]

Guys

I need urgent help please!!

My Hiace engine has just had it's autopsy and we find it is badly cracked :ffs:

There was a thread here not so long ago where Chris Turner and some others were discussing the 'merits' of the toyota engine, it appears to have disappeared after the forum crash of recent, on this post was the address of a company offering reconditioned cylinder heads, can someone please help by posting this again, I am running out of gaviscon please hurry

Dont go for a recon head as they cannot weld the old ones properly , best to go for the new option because the head has been modified to aid cooling .

I have looked into UK and they can only offer a recon unit, I have decided to out the vehicle as soon as i can, so what should I do??

Cheers

Simon

PS Have looked around for a new head and they are not available.

Well if they give you a guarantee on the head then it would be worth doing , most people say that once the new head has been fitted that the performance is brilliant , and it seems a shame that after all that time and money spent that you should out it .

Yeah Andy they are giving it a 12 months warranty but by the time I have done this I am in too deep for my liking, I voted with my heart when I saw it, not my head at all, made the mistake of thinking the !Removed! had engines sussed and that for the last 20 years they made bullet proof motors, ***** my old sherpa has been more reliable than that, my sherpa has over 110K on the clock and still fires straight away each and every day.

I am getting bitter again :fishyface:

I shall sell it and hopefully recoup all expenditure and stick with cheap cars for a while longer till I can save up some more cash for something newer, although nothing will ever be as luxurious as the Hiace, but more reliable.
