Well...Long story short...I hydro-locked my truck on Saturday. I don't think I will repair it this time. I've started to disassemble the motor to pull off the head to see what kind of damage there is. Upon taking some of the intake off..I spotted metal chunks/shavings in the intake Tube(don't have the head off yet). So I'm thinking that something REALLY bad went down and it's just not a bent valve or two. There is no compression in #3&4. (I waded up some paper towel and put them in the spark plug holes and only #1&2 popped out, 3&4 never moved).
So the Questions:
Is there enough people out there that need parts off of my truck to scrap it? Is it worth Scrapping or should I just try and sell as is?
The body is in great shape. There are 2 cancer spots starting to develop. One is on the hood (1/2 dollar coin), the other is on the driver side door (Quarter). The only thing that I know for sure is worthless are the bumpers. They are rusted up really bad.
Things it's got that's not normal: Blackmagic fan msd wires k&n EB RV head-don't know the condition yet. Keith Black Pistons-don't know the condition yet. When I rebuilt the motor I bored it over .10 ARP head studs (less than 700 mi) Thorley Header. 31's with American Racing crome wheels-I think 5 speed.
I'm trying to get ideas if there is interest in this thing or not. I'm going to finish taking the head off to see the final damages before I totally make up my mind in what I want to do.
