    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!

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

    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]

    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...

    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.

    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]

    So my tailgate torsion bar mount has rusted out. Anybody know the best way to fix this?

    Cleaned/degreased the front carpet in preparation for painting it black (along with all other interior trim) with the vinyl and carpet paint I have seen it done on YouTube .

    Also, found these on the F250. I wonder if the Broncos ever had them from the factory?

    Also, cleaning up the motor and radiator support. My new puppy Stella (3 mo.) fell asleep in my shift boot.

    Sound deadening 5 rolls in. About 40% done I think. Hoping this will eliminate a lot of road noise.

    I agree because I too have read 10 -15 psi max. I know redline is best to leave stock not to push your luck there. I may try 20lbs eventually. :)

    The turbos were free. So I figured I didn’t need a lot of boost so why not just have them compound to spool quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
