Does anyone have a bottom end only, for a 3.0 v6.

If so, how much would you be wanting for it.

Just wanting the block, with pistons etc - no cylinder heads or ancils.

Preferably from an auto.

Do you think with a crane, I'd get a block only, in the back of an Estate car?

In answer to the last bit...with a crane I can easily get a whole v6 engine in the back of an estate so yes, in fact you will probably be able to get the bottom end into just about any car :y

I have a very good whole engine but the bottom end I had in my garage has gone I'm afraid...

I've got a complete car that I'm breaking due to head gasket failure. Bottom end is yours for £80. oh and it is off an auto. if you do want it i'd need a few days (with good weather) to get it all out and ready for you though.

What makes you think it's head gasket failure?  :y

still runs but bit lumpy (as if 1 cylinder down mabe), oil in water and vice versa and losing all water.

EDIT: oh and pressure build up in cooling system

Don't suppose you've got one without any issues?  ;D

You're prob looking at finding a full engine if you want 1 without any issues.  :-/

Would agree with 924Boy...now who has a nicely running 3.0 engine??  ::)
