Recommended engine reconditioners

Hi all, my first post here so a bit of a newbie. I have a 96 Bighorn 3.1 that's been in the family for 15 years and has 350k on it.

It's either suffering from a blown head gasket or a cracked head so I want to weigh up the options to get a reconditioned engine or get this one fixed or reconditioned if appropriate. The body is in good condition, I've reconditioned the transmission (auto) and done a heap of other work on it so if I can sort the engine out for a reasonable cost then it will live to fight another day.

I live in Wanaka but can get the vehicle to Chch for work. Can anyone recommend a good engine reconditioner in Central Otago or Chch that's Isuzu friendly? Thanks, Jon.

if you can get it to chch Gavin up at country automotive at 755 Mount Thomas road, Fernside is a wonder with them.
Give him a ring and he will sort you out
