What parts are needed.  Some are prohibitively expensive, if you need new
pistons you are better off with a new motor.  Bearings and seals are cheap
and redly available.

If you would like for me to source some of these parts for you please pmail
me.

An acquaintance of mine is attempting to have the Turbo Diesel engine
rebuilt in his Westy.  His mechanic says he's unable to locate a rebuilt kit
for that engine.

Can anyone help with part sources and/or any advice?  Should he just order
another engine and replace?

Thanks,
