Head Gasket replacement and engine rebuild? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be Danny Mac on  Fri Aug 6 13:28 CST 2004 [RELATED]

With the head and turbo already off & manifolds disconneted, you have the hardest part of the engine removal already done. I would go ahead & remove the block & have the machine shop restore it while you've gone this far. I would have the crank checked, trued & polished, bearings replaced, new wrist pins & bearings, new rings, new oil pump etc. Sounds like you need new oil rings anyway. Properly done you can get several hundred thousand miles more before next rebuild. Go for it! 83 Turbo is a nice ride you can be proun of for many more years!

Good Luck
Danny Mac
