sleeper06 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 tear it down and inspect it,have the crank checked for runout/true,bore an hone with new pistons.You can go broke saving money just remember that.If you do it rite you will never regret it,these are very easy to work on but having someone banshee specific help you is priceless Quote
Jereme6655 Posted January 18, 2012 Report Posted January 18, 2012 If you can build a CAT engine then your obj out 60 times over qualified. Is not hard at all. Hell.....if you've go the fluids drained I bet most could get the motor tore down for rebuild and have the cases split within 30-45 minutes Quote
