So for those of you that remember the story with the dealer dropping a garage door on my roof and me ending up needing a new engine blah blah blah...
I still have the old engine in my garage right now, just missing cam covers because I sold them to the Z-man.
I want to bring this engine back to life. This will be a long term project as $$ is always an issue. I tore into it tonight and started taking everything apart to see whats missing and what will definitely need replacement.
New valves all around are a definite.
Possibly need 2 new pistons.
Cylinders 7 and 8 are scored/scratched and will require some form of machining/refinishing or bore out. Options here? How much $$ for this?
I am open to any suggests and whatnot as I know the wealth of knowledge here is abundant.
With the way I drive I don't see my current engine lasting forever so down the road it would be nice to throw in a beefier stronger engine that I took the time to build myself :)
