Hey you guys I hit 210k miles about 2 months ago. Ever since then I haven't had the motivation to do much to the motor as I feared it wouldn't be worth it so now it's winter and of course I get bored and start thinking... Well since I don't drive my truck in the winter time anyways why don't I go ahead and build the hell out of my motor and p pump it. So as of now I'm about 4 days into the project and I just got the head off today. Cylinders look pretty nice.. Only thing I'm not liking is the goldish colored metal flakes in the small puddles of fuel in 2 or 3 or my cylinders. I guess that doesn't matter now.. I'll keep the pictures posted as I come along with the project. I work a lot so it won't be a very fast project.

its a start! is that a 53 block in your 01? what about just rebuilding and modding the 12v.. you could throw your 24v head on it?
oh the ideas!!

 

Where's the tag on the block? Bottom right by the oil pan?? It doesn't say 53

Do you guys have any suggestions on boring? That 12 valve I just bought had a ring come apart and left a pretty rough groove in the cylinder wall.. It's going to need to go 40 over or so. I was curious on oversized pistons or could I just sleeve this one cylinder back to stock? The rest of the cylinders are fine just need honed.

here's the 12 valve block all stripped down.


This is the pump I got with the motor.

Started getting my motor torn apart to get ready for the machine shop, I ordered some miscellaneous parts also.
