Yeah, they're tuff, and easy to
work on. The last I checked I could do an inframe overhaul (liners, pistons,
rings, rod and main bearings, all gaskets) on a 6-71 for about 1100 bucks,
cheaper if you shop around. And anyone with even a little skill can do it. And
parts are available all over the world.
