I didn't say he was going to get much for it.

 

i'd say probably not. a scored cylinder can be fixed though. talk to a local machine shop about boring it and pressing in a sleeve. it's been done. it might be cheaper than buying a new engine. i dunno how much rods are though probably 5 or 6 hundred

 

i got my long block from Gillett Diesel, and i have a set of forged rods sittin on my shop floor, if you're interseted let me know

 

well i found a complete 2000 7.3lpsd on craigslits for $400 but what concerns me is the price y its so low and how am i to kno if its not scored like mine.

lange503, how much was the block?

 

Take it to a shop and have them look at it.

 

3,800 and it was a long block (had heads and everything) and had free shipping also
core charge was like 1000 if i remember right??

 

thats what i was thinking about doing, but let me run this by you guys first, when i got my truck it had an injector problem and was blowing constant blue smoke out of the exhauct, i purchased 8 garenteed remand ad code injectors and installed them, the truck still has a miss/rough idol but i dont notice the miss when im driving but when in neutral and rev it up it will miss till about 1800 to 2000 rpms then level out if i hold it there, it still blows blue smoke, and it blows crankcase preassuer out of the oil dipstick tube. does that sound like a scored cylinder or somthing else.

 

hmmm on it missing have you replaced your IDM? and i have NO idea on the other issue sorry man

 

no i havnt replaced the idm, i found a guy on here that does the 140v mod for the idms, im hoping that the smoke from the exhaust is from the bad seals in the turbo.

 

Have you inspected your UVCH wiring?
