This engine has 190k and after easily wiping the very fine soot off with a rag (just a dry rag) from the pistons, this is what they look like:
Just wondering it they look normal for 190k or not. I really dont have any experience taking engines apart.
Also wondering if the rust on the camshaft will be a problem?
And, what else should i do to this engine besides a re seal kit, crank & piston bearings, and new piston rings (assuming i keep the old pistons and sleeves).
Still see a cross hatch pattern on the liners but i have no idea what condition warrents complete replacement. Obviously they are expensive from isuzu.
Thanks guys. Lots of learning here.
