New to this site and I need advice. 89 F350 4x4 CC with a banks. After putting on the banks I melted the pistons so I pulled the motor and put Turbo quality pistons in. Less than 5k miles later I have water in #4, and my love for the truck has now dropped to NONE. I use the truck maybe 2 times a month but I have got to make a decision. 1) Drop a cummins in 2) pull this motor again and make repairs 3) suck up the losses and sell her. If I go with number 2 I would sleeve all the cylinders while it is out does anyone know of a good shop in So Cal that knows how to do this and can you bore and install 7.3 size liners or do you use 6.9 pistons? I would hate to throw away $800 worth of pistons with only 5k on them. Also what about heads I recall awhile back somone discussing new brazilian heads are they on the market? are they any good? do they exist? is there a source for good remanu heads. Any advice is appreciated I really don't want a new truck payment but god I hate this motor right now
