Probably cheaper than having a cam belt done by your local indy garage! |

My engine transplant (a reconditioned exchange unit) cost me almost £2.5K less than that one - fully fitted by my indie, with 20,000 mile warranty and most ancillaries also replaced. Labour charges made up a big chunk of that bill.

Can't comment on the engine in question, and partly o/t, but 11 years ago we were faced with the choice of selling (cheaply) our beloved 33ft 1982 twin diesel cruiser and buying a more modern equivalent at way north of £130k, or having her re-engined (or giving up boating, of course!). The original engines were clapped-out old 2.5 litre Leyland taxi engines. Crude, noisy and very unreliable.

Marine engines are about twice the price of a car engine especially if it is indirectly cooled, directly cooled engines tend to have shorter lives due to salt water destroying parts of the engines mainly because they stand idle with the salt drying out in the water jackets as the water drains to waterline level, when wintering unless you spend time doing it yourself the average marine mechanic will never flush out the engine correctly especially in England when fresh water is metered and cost is high running a hose for over an hour. Indirectly cooled still has its problems as salt or river water containing lime or calcium runs past the heat exchanger and is discharged via the manifold and exhaust overboard. Generally pleasure craft marine engines last half the time of of vehicle engines due to poor maintenance and are basically marinised vehicle engines or plant and static engines containing alloys not suitable for the marine enviroment.

actually, for a new diesel engine that’s not a bad price.
