Hi Mick
BUGGA

Sounds like a valve or head gasket to me? Easy fixed!

thanks someday , have mate mechanical engineer who will have car next week to diagnose and pull down , me i,m civil eng so beat left to him but had an offer 2.4 diesel complete runner with box less transfer case which i have anyway for about $800 if I won,t to pick it up could be option Cheers Mick

So I take it yours is a petrol job? All depends on K's! Under 250.000 Fix it. Over 300.00 K's the choice is up to you. I'd say just fix your No comp cylinder, like I said it will more than likely be a burnt out valve or a head gasket? Fix it cheap as possible to get you on the road, Buy the $800.00 special and rebuild it, for when the cheap fix starts acting on the other cylinders!
Just my thought's!
Cheers Chris.

well head comes of tomorrow will know then what it is be back on road in a couple days cheers Mick

yep it has a broken exhaust and luckily no damage to bore or pistons but it will be getting a rering as was using a bit of oil lately should be up and running in a week or two when parts get here from melboune too dear in tassie cheers Mick

Good to hear that no other damage done! A broken valve would normally put any motor these days into the bin, with the cost's of labor!
Cheers man. Hope your on the road soon.
P.s. Can you put up a pic of the valve?
