USA blue rig OP Wheeler Hi All, I have a 2000 montero and it smokes more than it should. I want to replace to motor. Is it easier to replace with a crate motor or rebuild. I don't have the time to rebuild unless crate motors are not available. Thanks in advance, Ryan 90 Trooper 2.6 -Daily driver/backyard tractor- Re: Rebuild a Montero Motor?

Check your oil pressure, and compression in all cylinders, then report back. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> '06 Dakota QC 4.7 6sp 4x4 '88 Mighty Max '77 KZ1000 fun old bike Re: Rebuild a Montero Motor?
