Hi all, posting on here for a friend of mine, their D22 Kingcab engine went woopsie the other day, no exiting of conrods but big oil smell, total loss of power and wont start, initially assumed that its dropped a piston.
The truck has been at a mechanics workshop and he is saying it needs a new engine, i dont know what he has said is wrong with it, this is just the info i have been relayed.
So i spose the questions are; where is the best place for a replacement engine? Im thinking the best thing to do is just purchase a recon engine or similar.
and....
If the engine in the truck currently has dropped a piston, what damage would/could that cause internally. From a quick think about it, i thought new piston, new conrod, new bearings, and possibly a reground crank. As im typing this im feeling particularly bad becasue im a Motorsport Engineering Student at uni so i should know the answer in theory, but the uni teaches me naff all about cars and engines so im not too sure.
Cheers in advance
