Help!

My '89 2.9 4X4 needs new piston rings, it's got no compression on 6 and low on 4.

Have any of you folks had any good / cheapish experiences with engine builders / fitters in recent months / years in the South SE London area?

I'm a tech, but my tools are at work, and I just don't have the time to fix it myself, so I either need a cheap Ford V6 specialist to fit new rings, or supply and fit a second hand engine, or possibly go for a 24v Cossie transplant.

All depending on what is most viable / economical.

Many thanks in advance for your input

 

Go for the 24v transplant


And generally, for XR4i or XR4x4 stuff the interford.co.uk forums are a better bet, just loads more XR4 people there than here for some reason (conversely they have very few Cossie people), and a lot of 24v into XR4x4 knowledge.

 

Nice one Gravedigger, good work.
Will be investigating that then.
I'll report on any progress

 

As previously stated Interford is place to go for XR4x4 stuff especially 24v info.
