Post by passengerpete »

i brought a burnt td27t too use as a dummy, to setup my gearbox conversion. what do i do with it now ? it turns over by hand. but very burnt most thing that where not iron have melted.

could the internals be reused/spears once checked. is it worth getting rebuilt as a spear ? or is it all a wast and just dump it. at this stage the only thing worth keeping would be turbo and manifold. what you guys think.
