Anyone want a 83 BJ42, really rusty, but all there, my wife is drivin me crazy, looks like I have to let it go.
The service manager called me this morning, the service foreman pulled the valve cover and they are saying no damage. SM said next step was pulling the engine and removing the oil pan, easier to pull the engine then the whole front end. Their going to send pictures of the particulars (crank and bearings) and Assess. I want to post but may need your input, have not done that yet on this Forum.
Very professional IMO so far. HHI off island has become very upscale in the last 7 years due to Del Sun City and they want to keep their rep. Thanks agian.

They need to put the pistons and check the rings since running without oil will cause increased wear. At this point they need to just go ahead and do a complete rebuild. Running without oil caused increased wear and they can't deny that. If they do nothing your engine will start smoking at start up within 30K miles. At the least you want a engine rebuild warranty from them if your LC starts to smoke at startup within the next 30K miles.
