I've decided the cheapest way out is to replace my engine myself. I've rebuilt an engine before. I have about three ways.
1) pull mine, have it cleaned and machined, trust the machinist to mic it right for me and tell me what size bearings and rings etc to get. total cost <2000.00
2) Buy a quality rebuilt long block: 3300 to 3800.00
3)Or this - and I like this- I can get a BRAND NEW short block for 1500 and 2 remanufactured heads for 700.00 and gaskets for about 400.00. Total maybe 2700.00. See this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ISUZU...item588f3d2b91
What would you do? Is there a risk I don't see in buying this short block? Anything I do has risk.....
There is a 4) My mechanic will do a Jasper engine for about 5K $$$.
