Out a for run on Saturday and she finally died on me, locked right up at around 70mphs. Mileage at 17,012kms on original, never opened engine. Just ordered brand new shortblock, love this machine too much to let it go.

Send your injector solenoids out to be bench tested and sonically cleaned then retested. This will assure that new short block will live as long as the original. Test or replace oil pump too.

It would be great if you could get some pics and detail on the condition of the original engine internals.

You definitely got some good mileage on that engine!

Measure & spec absolutely every possible component before tear down. Then doo the same as you take it apart,including balance gear spacing. As long as nothing seized or fragmented to badly it will give you a heads up to what might not be up to spec on the replacemant. Don't forget to test & clean out pressure pump.

Just curious as to what that motor is worth? I have a 600SDI MXZ-X engine with 3000KM that I am going to part out, and wonder what to ask for motor.

just got my injectors back from witchunter performance today, 14,500 miles an no unusual wear or blockage, kind of surprised, although it was still running when I tore it down??? Take a good look at the plastic barrel on the oil pump cable, mine was toast! almost worn in two!
Owning a Mach Z is like having a totally hot girlfriend,................ all of your friends want to see it and check it out, they all want to know what it is like to ride it, but if they only knew how much time and money it takes to keep one up, they would call you a fool!
