But it threw a rod and knocked a half-dollar sized hole in the block. I'm pretty confident I need a new block.
It's worse that I thought it was, so the only way might be finding a replacement block. Too bad this engine had already been phased out elsewhere, otherwise it shouldn't be so hard to attempt importing a replacement block. But anyway, is an engine swap totally out of question? Maybe you could either fit the engine out of some of those Kei trucks that have been imported for off-road use or source a 4-cyl G-series engine which is still used in other countries.
