    Carrier APU may be terminal, has 6000 hrs on it, injector pump s@*t the bed, dumped fuel into oil, $500 to rebuild that..BUT oil also has extreme amounts of coolant in it, so possible cracked head?? Or worse?? So I may try to find a reman or a used engine? Google search found a couple avenues to go down but wanted to post here in case somebody had some better info.
    Thanks!!!

    I had read somewhere that some marine mechanics will rebuild the z482 for cheap. Maybe try there?
