God knows why some cossie owners think engines are consumable items. I never had a rebuild in all my years of owning a cossie.......

sorry to here about that mate 
but i would have the chip looked at .. and check the voltage going to the fuel pump
I wouldn't just build the engine again you would be better off finding out what caused the engine to blow up...
it sounds to me that it has detted due to bad fueling
hope you get it sorted

nightmare when that happens,im in the same position as yourself with my cossie engine after only 4200 miles since the last rebuild ,although mine isnt as drastic as yours,just lots of blue smoke!
