Hindsight is 20/20 but had we known then what we know now we would have just bought a new engine and would have done with it. Builder would not warranty the engine because we bought the parts. Engine was noisy on start up. He claimed it was the valves and ignition timing. We brought it to another shop that tore it down again. That mechanic says the pistons need shaving and the head gasket was wrong. I brought the pistons to a machine shop and ordered a new gasket kit. Right now the diesel mechanic that's working on it is trying to make it right for us. Needless to say he does not have a kind word for the first engine rebuilder. I can't say anything good about them either. quote] Sad to hear Tommy. I am still so happy with the engine Dave aka The engine Dr. built for me. About 2 months ago I ran her out to Famosa Drag strip borrowed some slicks and the only number I will give you is I broke 11. in my only pass. Sucker is fast. |
