Project: ALMOST LEGAL

Biggest reason is i dont trust most shops. To rebuild the motor is not that hard and only takes a day to do once i get all the parts. Plus then i know what i have and if it breaks its my fault. Most places dont cover labor on the warranty so i would be out. The rebuild kit is only like $250 on ebay and that even comes with pistons if i chose to bore it. I will just do a hone on the block then new rings and bearings. The head needs a little more but will be less than $100 in parts so for less than $500 ill have a new motor. The best i could find around here was $1250 plus tax for a 2.2. The last one a did i bought a reman head because i ran the old till it was junk i ended up getting another head because the first one leaked.... they sent the new head before i even pulled the other off wich was good but they didnt cover labor or gaskets. The last head has been on for 4 years no problems!

Fair enough- Have fun and stay warm then- keeps the pics coming too. -ED

man i was really with it till the LED's came along. good luck with the engine rebuild. i did that a while back... had the block hot tanked and magnaflux'd, rod's reconditioned, new crank and bearings, full gasket kit and new freeze plugs, and the cylinders power honed at the machine shop for just over 500. or was it 6? hmm...

yeah the lights are killing it for me too

I dont care i like the lights. i think they look cool. man good luck with the rebuild.

anything else going on with the truck. ie any more pics

I have a good head with entire valve train and cam if u still need one.BJ

i like the leds

Heres a little bit of progress for today. Got both the fenders in and pulled the tranny to get it cleaned. Also went through and stripped all the wire on the drivers side.

looks great man
