If you were this far would you pull the engine? Is it worth the trouble?
As most of you guys know where I am at one my engine. I am down to the timing set and rockers assemblies out. I do see some rocker and push rod wear.
We already know the problems with the engines(blocks cracks,cranks break,ect..ect...)
I have 170,000 on my engine and it is 4x4. I know how to pull engines and rebuild them. I worked on engines for about 16 yrs. I am just wondering if you were in my shoes would you pull the engine and check eveything out. I do not know what the bottom look like and I am not worried about pulling it. I just don't know if it is woth it. Also I am not sure what I will find and be happy. Then you get into what to do once you get it out. bearing,rings...ect..ect.
So I was wondering for you long time 6.5 guys (mechanics) or anyone else what would you do???? :confused: :(
I never thought I was ever going to go in this direction but lets see what you think...
Thanks guys for all your time and posts back to me. If it was not for this forum I would still be fighting with the pmd.
Thanks again Joe
