If i'm violating any rules here please let me know.

My truck had a camshaft seize. Opening up a whole can of worms. I've done a bit of prep work, but now do I want to continue further? The only way I see this thing being fixed is to rebuild it. Unfortunately I don't have the time,place or money to do a complete rebuild. And i'm not sure if I want to do just the heads and leave myself open for more problems. (anyone here redo the heads on a high mile 3.0 sohc?)
If I do decide to get rid of it I would at least want it to go to someone like the people here. I think there is plenty of life left in this truck however I might not be the person to do it.

Put good heads on it and pray, IF:

oil pressure was good
compression seemed good (or check it with the bad head if the valves seal - no cam necessary - compression pressure will be low initially because must use cylinder vac to lift intake valve off seat - extended cranking will make high cyliner pressures - no exhaust opening...)

I spent $600 on a set of rebuilt heads on a 265k motor...

Oil pressure was normal when it went, And continued cranking oil pressure would clime to normal levels.
Hmm....

Did mine at 240k. bout 600 with my labor. still going now. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
