All, my advice is STAY AWAY from Garry Rigby in the UK. I'm currently parting out a 1HD-T which I invested approximately $5,500 to get imported from the UK to the US. Garry assured me that the engine was "from a running driving vehicle" and he allegedly drives all his stuff around before parting them. WRONG!! After testing it, I determined the following compression numbers for cylinders 1-6: 200psi, 20psi, 540psi, 520psi, 200psi, 330 psi. My guess is the #2 piston has a very good sized hole in it and there's NO WAY this was running. What am I going to do now? Send it back? not likely. And after months of back and forth emails about other issues I'm not even going to try. Dealing with him has been an expensive learning experience.
In addition to this mess, I paid for parts (front driveshaft and 24 volt starter) which I never received. Garry basically refused to make it right and never sent me the parts. Nor did he offer to reimburse me the roughly $250 USD he just pocketed. His communication is horrible once an issue comes up. On top of that, the small "used parts" I received from him are more or less totally worn out. The guy is selling JUNK.
With all that said, I did receive a 24 valve 1HD-FT from him which runs well.....after I replaced all the worn out components on an engine that looked like it took a salt water bath every Sunday. If you deal with him, go in with both eyes open.
