2200 engine rebuild

MY TRUCK HAD 159,000 MI ON MY MAZ BEFORE THE MOTOR FINALLY WENT, THIS WAS MY FIRST VEHICLE AND I WAS EXTREMELY HARD ON IT.
I RECENTLY CARRIED THE MOTOR TO THE MACHINE SHOP, AND WHEN THEY TORE IT DOWN HE SAID THAT THE PISTON RINGS, VALVE GUIDES & VALVE SEALS WERE SHOT, PLUS IT HAD A BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THE HEAD, BLOCK CRANK AND CONN. RODS, & PISTONS WERE ALL GOOD THOUGH.

IF YOU PULL THE HEAD, I WOULD HAVE IT REWORKED, IT SHOULDN'T COST BUT @ $350-$400, AND WHILE THE HEAD IS OFF PULL THE PISTONS AND PUT NEW RINGS IN. THAT SHOULD CURE ALL OF YOU MOTOR AILMENTS, AND IT SHOULD GO ANOTHER 200,000 MI WITH PROPER CARE.

NYTRDR24,....just curious but is your user name like a custom tag, cause if it is all I can come up with is New York truck doctor, and Bama Ain't New York.

NOT A CUSTOM TAG YET, BUT WHEN THE TRUCK IS BACK ON THE ROAD.
NYTRDR24 == NYT (NIGHT) RDR (RIDER) 24 (D.O.B.), THAT EXPLAINS THE HANDLE, AND THE BAMA ROLL TIDE IS JUST THE COLLEGE TEAM I PULL FOR, TOO BAD THEY LOST TO LSU IN A NAIL BITER LAST SATURDAY...

NAH, NEVER EVEN BEEN TO NY, I'VE BEEN TO THE TIP OF MICHIGAN, AND OUT TO NEW MEXICO AND TO THE TIP OF FLA. BUT THAT IS AS FAR AS MY TRAVELS HAVE CARRIED ME. WOULDN'T MIND GOING TO THE BIG APPLE ONCE THOUGH! I JUST DON'T THINK I COULD HANDLE ALL OF THE PEOPLE BEING FROM THE SOUTH THOUGH.

sorry man I guess it's obvious

Damn southerners, thinkin too simply.

BTW, I thought it was Auburn and LSU, Were you drinkin too?

mee too and i dont even know how many miles are on mine and some of yall guys need to chill
minitruckers are bros not haters and man i would try some new seals and just change out the the rings with that many miles why not but its ur decision

88LX,

IT'S ALL GOOD, I WISH IT WERE AUBURN & LSU, & YEAH I HAD A FEW BOTTLES OF THE SUDS.
I DON'T SEE HOW LSU WILL WIN THE SEC WEST, THEY WILL HAVE THE SAME RECORD AT THE END OF THE SEASON AS IF WE BEAT AUBURN, 10-1, AND THE TEAM THAT BEAT THEM, TENN. WE BEAT! SO THAT SHOULD PUT US AHEAD RIGHT? ANYHOW, WE STILL HAVE TO BEAT AUBURN BEFORE ANY OF THAT DISCUSSION IS WORTHY...
