Smithk Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Okay, well my truck has had a rear main oil seal leak for about five months now and I figure it is time to fix it. I was wondering if I should go with just repairing the rear main oil seal and headers (yes they have a leak) for about $2000 or do I go to get my engine rebuilt and throw the headers on at the same time? I have not gone to look at how much the rebuild would cost yet but I am guessing about $2800 or more. I am rolling onto 320,000km so I want to know what your opinions are for this matter. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indomwe Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 hell if you have 320,000 on the truck and you can get the rebuild done for $2800 then you will be good for another 320,000, thats a cheap ride in this day and age. I say go for it............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithk Posted January 24, 2008 Author Share Posted January 24, 2008 no chance of you doing the work yourself? I would love to do the work, I just have no time as I am trying to finish my BA, while working almost full time. Also since my Pathfinder is my daily, I will be looking at places that offer a free ride while "she" is in the shop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 i'd let the shop do the rebuild then. but she'll be out of commission fer a while......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
