Sounds like some piss poor maintenance on it. If the engine is in that rough of shape - Can't imagine the rest of the truck not much better.

If I'm wrong $600 is a good deal.. and you can refresh the whole engine and tune it up for what the truck's worth probably.


My plans are hinged on pictures of the truck. I'll decide from the photos whether I'm going to go look at it. But if it's in fair shape, and the liquid HG repair actually works...I'll be all in for about $1000. I won't hold my breath...but, stranger things have happened. We'll see.

I don't see any money for having the heads milled flat, either, or replacement of the lower manifold/butterfly assembly.


Heads would cost $40/each to resurface, if they're warped. I can check them at home first, it may be only one of them. As for this butterfly assy...is this something that automatically needs to be replaced? I didn't see an item with that description available on the parts sites I was looking at. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />
