rickpyle13 Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Cylinder 3, looks like very slight ridging on the top of the piston towards the front of the vehicle, slightly out of round towards the other side. This happens to be the cylinder my plug has been consistently wet, and signs of oil leak into corresponding exhaust port. Overhaul or junking necessary?

fixinto Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 you can probably find another motor at a yard for pretty cheap. Just the master rebuild for the engine and the machine shop work alone would probably cost 1200'ish and i cant be positive that even comes with pistons. I think just all the bearings, gaskets, rings, and so on. but like i said i am not sure. I briefly looked at the rebuild kit as a way of getting another motor from the yard and making it pretty much new, then if mine took a crap i would throw her in there in a weekend in the driveway or something. But once i started adding up all the cost i decided just to go with a yard motor if the need ever comes up. Mine has 198k miles on it and is still running pretty strong.
