Last week my fiance was driving my truck and called and told me that it was making a horrible knocking noise and had some white smoke and the whole truck was shaking so she pulled over and killed it immediately. After getting it home, pulling the motor and opening it up the end result of that wound up being a trashed rod bearing on the no. 6 which cause a bit of contact between the piston and the valves.
I carried the block, crank and head to NAPA Machine Shop and wound up having the head checked, cleaned and rebuilt w/ valve a job, had to turn the crank .010 on the mains and .020 on the rod journals and then had the block cleaned and had to bore and sleeve the no. 6 cylinder.
I've already ordered a few things and will be ordering the rest of what I need this Thursday. I figured, if I'm already in it and having to rebuild, why go back stock?? :lolly:
Here is the parts list:
Rebuild Kit from Jeff @ Maumu
Hamilton Cams 182/214
New Tappets
F1 Flux 1.5 Injectors
ARP Head Studs
Fleece Coolant Bypass
New Injector Connector Tubes
New Oil Pump
New Water Pump
I'll be keeping the stock turbo and want to do something with the CP3 but I'm not sure what on that yet (any advice would be great). The CP3 is still stock with almost 225k miles on it. I'd love to get one from Shane at Motorsport but he seems to have just disappeared. I'm also debating a laminated or Goerend billet flexplate while I have easy enough access to install it.
After it's all said and done I'll finish it off with some EFI Live tuning and should be good to go! :ft:
