i was going to pull the whole motor really, my timing case is leaking pretty bad from the front and back seals, the power steering has a little leak, and my head gasket is leaking a little coolant from bewteen the head and the block right under the thermostat housing, and i noticed that the tappet cover is a little wet the other day, so im just going to tear the whole thing down and replace everything and get the head decked, the previous owner did almost no preventive maintance

 

 

Just reseal it.

 

yup..strip her and seal her!!!! how many miles?

 

155,xxx like i said, the orginal owner bought it new and used it for maybe a year or two to haul his horses and then just parked it at his plumbing yard and let it sit and the plumbers would borrow it and no one ever did any maintance

im just hoping that i dont pull it apart and find out that i needs some hard parts or more work since i cant be without my truck for too long and i dont have the extra money to spend really
