Has anyone had any experience with the Ebay 3B rebuild kits. Worth the money or junk? Can anyone in Australia recommend a supplier?

Thanks for your reply. Oddly after literally scouring the world for 4 Conrods(which I located, many thanks Matt) I was offered a 270000Ks 13B-T engine for a price I couldn't refuse. I'll still be rebuilding the old engine also. Thanks all for your comments/help.@OGBeno did a complete 3B rebuild thread within the last year or two, with as many OEM parts as possible (I know, imagine that.)
Do a quick search and I’m sure you’ll be able to find it. Lots of good tech in that thread, too.

Great points. I love the old idea that allwhat exactly is better about a 13bt? A turbo and direct injection? it’s virtually the exact same engine. I’d rather have idi better for running any fuel you throw at it, its a motor made for reliability, virtually the entire engine is being repopped now in china and I wouldn’t hesitate to use a Chinese head, chinese liner/pistons gasket kit off Alibaba.com. Ditch the Edic it’s a pos with nylon gears in it, buy a military surplus engine stop pull cable. There are suppliers with 5 star reviews that sell to everyone probably the same eBay person you’re looking at who’s just reselling them, as well as many other resellers and the stuff is well made. It isn’t like the old days where stuff from china is just pure junk the same factories make 4BTs and 6BT’s and they’re not exactly new school technology and they last as good or better then a 3B yes even the Chinese variants. Where do you think engines come from, tons of quality manufacturing is done there these days. I don’t like it, but it’s how the world is right now, may as well buy directly from the manufacturer and not someone reselling for a profit.
I’d rather have a 3B then a new 6.7 litre power joke with plastic rocker arm retaining clips and all the other plastic garbage that breaks around 100000kms. fords diesels are junk, unless it’s an old 7.3 I wouldn’t touch it they’re all worse then any other manufacturer.
As far as the install I tried to get a couple pictures for you, I just bent up a piece of metal with a bolt to pinch the outer sheathing of the cable then just looped it around to the lever on the injection pump. Simple but functional.The exact one I have is green, but this may actually be a bit better then mine, if I come across the exact one I got I will post. I just looped it around
