checked out a 6bt out of a 1990 truck today, half seriously, and half for something to do. It was sitting in someone else's shop and the guy who owns it said sure take some things off look at what you want so i figured why not.
Nothing looked glaringly wrong to me, but again thats me who has no diesel tech training. The valves didnt look burnt, the piston heads didnt look cracked, the cylinder walls still have the cross-hatching and have an orange tint but dont really look rusty or pitted. There was no oil pan to look for metal in, but I tried looking up in there and nothing *looked* bad. the inside of the air intake channels, I think thats what they are...theyre inside the head and they werent the exhaust, had some rusty/grimy looking spots but i dont know if that matters.
just looking for some opinions from anyone who knows, the guy wants $900 for it, which seems like theres alot of room for failure given he doesnt know if it runs or not. he also claims he doesnt know much about it either. I figured free would be a good price, but maybe $500 would be a little more reasonable. Thanks for any input in advance.
not really sure what I was taking pictures of in the next two, was just kind of pointing and shooting since i couldnt lift the engine high enough to see.
