overhaul kit, new head, start all over. complete inframe + all recommended methods mentioned on the forum here. It will pay for itself in about 200 - 300k miles when the engine is still going strong vs. having to come apart again.



The bigger queston is how did it end up like that?.

Im not sure this is one of the used trucks we picked up last fall. Any thoughts on causes, just tearing it down now. If i find any thing else i will post it.
Thanks for the reply.
