Yes sir Dr Charles, I was going to check for taper and do a light hone to break any glaze and give a good surface for the rings. And I totally agree with your info about the cam.

Ok guys I opened up the 6.9 Yep a rusted through valley pan was the reason for the 3 gals of water in the oil pan. However the engine is incredibly clean on the inside. Crank, pistons, bearings are all in great condition. Everything is standard as it only has 90k miles on it. So far the only...- Frstdiesel

Truck is complete and all original. Problem is i drained close to 3 gals of water out of the oil pan. This I believe is...- Frstdiesel
