(05-18-2015, 10:16 AM)turbojeep $1K isn't too bad. If you could get it back together for close to that, rebuild sounds like the way to go.
All the same, I'd suggest you do some browsing to see what it would run you to make the jump to the OM606. You could sell off your prechambers, your IP (it has 10mm elements, right?), exhaust, etc... The intercooler and trans can be made to for without much trouble, I'd think.
(05-18-2015, 11:42 AM)DiseaselWeasel Well, maybe all you need is a new set of smal end bearings... Looks like you've not driven much with the damaged bearings. Could be a cheap fix, if the cylinder bores & crank journals are still within specification. Hone, re-ring, new bearings and on you go! Doesn't always have to be a "full" rebuild (it's nice, no doubt about that!).
