Well my main Borrego transport will be out of commission for about a month.
Hoping to have it up and running before flower season.
Doing a full engine rebuild out at my friend's shop in Ramona.



If you want to follow my rebuild check my BioCruiser Site smile

How many miles on that engine Bob? Rebuilding the engine is one of the greatest forms of recycling you can do. smile Most people throw in the towel and buy a new vehicle.

Thanks Jim,
Actually this started out as a injector pump rebuild since it had a small leak. Decided since we were pretty much pulling EVERYTHING off the motor to get to the pump we might as well rebuild the whole motor.

Pretty sure the motor doesn't need a rebuild since it is at 200,000 miles and these are the motors they use in the UN Toyota trucks overseas, designed to go for a long time.
At least I will get rid of some of the leaks wink

On a side note we ended up picking up one of these for a commuter car.
VW TDI (Diesel of course) 40 - 50 mpg hwy depending how you drive it smile

It has been quite a project.
New crankshaft, new valves and pistons etc. etc.

Hoping to have it on the road in two weeks smile
