- Yes I am having a local shop do the rebuild, they have a 3 year 36K warrant. I hope all goes well.


The most critical item to check when rebuilding the 3.0 is the clamping range on the head bolts. If the heads or block have been milled for flatness, the head bolts may bottom out (giving a false torque reading) before reaching their proper clamping force. Some here have bottom tapped the block, checked clamping ranges, and even slightly ground off head bolts to make sure the head gaskets are properly clamped.
