if you going to flip the truck? sure hone it, slap in an over size ring and keep your finger crossed.
If you or your loved ones are going to depending on this to be their main source of transportation or god forbid leave civilization with it, don't mess with.

it find a used motor, you going to spend time and money pressure testing$$, honing $$ , rings $$, at least one piston $$ (the pix look like two) bearing$$ and it up $$$$ .

Either a used motor with new oil pump timing chain and head gaskets or blow the wad on a completely rebuilt motor for the tune of $6k.

 

I know better than to rely on a rover as a main source of transportation...

70% I'm going to flip it... Depending on how far I have to go with the motor.... If I have basically a rebuilt motor, I might keep it... But if I can mcguyver it... Its prob gone....

Although I loved this truck... I don't love the problems this piece of **** has dumped on me over the years..
