Hello Everyone!
I have a 1990 f250 2wd with a service body. Overall the truck is beautiful, no rust, good paint, no body damage, cosmetically it’s 10 out of 10 for a 32 year old truck. I had hopes of putting a Dana 60 under it soon but...
I took it in for diagnosis at a local diesel shop after reading low compression on cylinder 1. The shop is saying the rocker arm has mushroomed the valve stem and the valve is misaligned in the guide. The mechanic is suggesting to send the heads off to a machine shop for new valve guides and installation of new valves and rockers. I guess both sides would need to be rebuilt together.
Keep in mind it has a new injection pump and injectors installed not too long ago. The truck is non turbo and has 230,000 miles on it. Is it worth fixing? If do fix and sell it what is a fair price to ask on it? Also what is a fair price without fixing it?
