Well. Sorry for the long amount of time between posts. I have almost everything done but need a 4x4 ZF5 transmission, if anyone has one laying around I could buy that would be cool. The guy I was getting mine from passed away. It’s the last part I need. But she is running and lifted, and jammin!- Ace Perkes

Also it was odd that this cylinder is shiny and the others are covered in soot. [emoji2375]- Ace Perkes

That is what me and my dad were thinking. But the heads show no damage and all valves hold soapy water. I’ll do a pop test before installing. And yes I have the front and rear seals that’s a must. Then I will reseal the oil pan as well. [emoji1419]- Ace Perkes

Another piece of evidence that this is an 87,000 mi motor is the crosshatching on the cylinder walls. Though the RH rearmost piston has some scaring on the head of the piston but no scoring on the cylinder walls whatsoever. Advice on replace or use? Structural integrity compromised? This...- Ace Perkes

Okay, here comes the fun stuff. Disassembled and head studs installed. Flywheel, clutch, and the lack of any sludge in the valve train. Any wisdom is appreciated. Ex. What else should I replace while motor is out, etc.- Ace Perkes

Haha she was fine with 1, when I rolled the second one in (rim installed), she said really you need all the tires in the house!? And I quickly had to move the first tire back out to the shop. [emoji23]- Ace Perkes
