Hi all,
My 1999 SR5 4x4 2.7L petrol with the 3RZ-FE (RZN169R) has blown a head gasket and I am looking to replace the engine. Just wondering what other Hilux engines (if any) will fit without, or with only minor modification, instead of the 2.7L petrol it came with.
Also, if anyone has any tips on where to source a suitable replacement engine, they would be welcomed. I am not particularly mechanical and not in a position to do much work myself (no workshop or good tools), so keep that in mind. If I can buy a 2nd hand motor with low kms in Australia OR get a cheap import (whether 2nd hand or reco'd) I will be VERY happy. I live on the Central Coast NSW if anyone can remove/install it for me (will be happy to pay if less than a mechanic would charge).
Suggestions? Advice?
