What to do... ?

Re: What to do... ?

Tim....drive it up to me, leave it for a while and I'll rebuild the bottom end and have the heads reworked. It's the rings.....and the head swap is a waste of a day and $150 (gaskets and oil) if you ask me. That $150 would buy the rings, mains, rods, and a new timing set, and the day's labor would have the engine outta the truck and on the way to the machine shop.

Hood

Hmm.. Robert we might have a twist to the plot, lol. That sounds like a good idea there Hood.. Just as long as you dont let Pope touch my truck :lol:

Let me do a comp. test tomorrow and see what I get. And I'll report back.

And that is exactly why I fully recommend Hood to everyone and do business with him. Customer satisfaction.

Thats a good idea Adam. Only thing is I dont know if I want to use my crank thats in my motor now, or get a refinished one.. hmm..

Heres what the comp. test told.

Cyl.
1 - 168
2 - 151
3 - 100

4 - 160
5 - 165
6 - 162

The plugs dont look bad, look just a little darker then the ones before these.

cranks are cheap. i got a 10/10 from the auto parts whore for next to nothing.

Re: What to do... ?

you can just use your old crank and let it resurfaced.

Re: What to do... ?

I know RPM has a few stock cranks, I was thinking about going that route, seeing I dont wanna spend $2500 on one just yet, lol.

Re: What to do... ?

why don't you want to use your own crank? i don't see the point of buying another one? RPM normally cuts the uncut ones, because of the stock tolerence isn't that great. and i bet yours is uncut

Re: What to do... ?

Because I already have a block to build off of.. Theres no point in ripping my motor apart just to use the crank when I can get one somewhat cheap. At least I know if I need to, I can go back to the motor I have, even though it smokes it will still run if I need to move the truck for any reason. (And renting a house, thats reason enough right there for me to build a motor while this ones still in the truck so if I do have to move, I dont have to have the truck towed anywhere. )
