Rebuild question
 

anybody have an idea what i would pay to have the motor rebuilt? i would pull it and put it back in.... just need it built by someone who knows what there doing. it runs good but smokes white when i first start it and the rear main just started leaking a little. also the engine seems alot quieter lately... like alot less diesel like. seems like she may need a set of rings. just seeing what i could expect to pay for someone to just build it.

i did search by the way but 5500 seems high to just build it.... with me yankin it and re installing it.

i just bought a complete overhaul kit from pure diesel power for about $800 machine work is expected to cost around $700 he hasnt worked the bill out yet an i have a uncle doing the valve job but i would guess that would cost around $300

If you pull it yourself, why not do the rebuild yourself? Hardest part is the head and machine work, but you can pull it and take that to get done.

Otherwise, I'd say a couple grand for a stock parts rebuild.

ya its not that hard to rebuild it yourself and pure diesel power has the best pricing i have found

im just scared i wont got the tolerences right and i will go to start it a BOOM!:argh: but i may try it.. is there a good manuel out there? i have the haynes manuel of our trucks but it doesnt cover it very well

I bought my parts from cummins and paid 500 for machine work that included valve job shaved head polished crank and honed block not bored I went back standard and I have step by step pics on my rebuild.

can u post them?:tu::c:
