Default Cooked Engine

Can anyone recommend a good source of reconditioned engines, or a reputable engine repairer? My ZT-T split a lower hose yesterday, rapidly lost all coolant and seized on me. Engine is the 2.5 V6 190 from a late 2001 model.

Thanks in advance,

Al

Raee for one to seize even of overheated, have you checked that it isn't free when it's cooled down?

Try mickyboy or cossie Duncan on here if you really do need a replacement.

Yes, we've tried turning it over on the starter when cooled, and it was not a happy sound!
