Hi guys,
I am new to the site, and I have some questions. ExcelIent site by the way!!! I just purchased a 1993 Ty, and it has a pretty loud engine knock. The motor runs very smooth, has excellent power, does not smoke, and has great oil pressure, even when completely warmed-up to temp. It dosen't sound like a valvetrain noise to me, it sounds like a broken piston or rod bearing issue. I can't figure out why the oil pressure isn't low, and it dosen't miss. It dosen't even shake at an idle, it really runs perfect...lol.
My question is, what year 4.3L long blocks will bolt in with no mods??? I need to get the truck running right away, and I would like to slap a junk yard long block in it as a temporary fix. Then I will take the original motor and have it machined and re-built with high performance internals. That way, I can take my time, and build the motor right. Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Should I try to fix this motor and slap it back in, or should I put a bone yard long block in it, and buil the motor slowly??? Thanks in advance!!!
Anthony
P.S. I did do a search, but could not find the exact answers I am looking for.
