    Mechanic Fixed Head Gasket, At Completion Tells Me I May Require Engine Rebuild

    Hopefully they ship it in that time frame many members here have heard that same song and waited months. Glad you got a game plan figured out. Make sure your mechanic measures your head bolts to FSM spec when installing. They are torque to yield and stretch and have been torqued multiple times...

    So your bearings are good? What is the problem? You have a bent rod? I’m confused? Did you check the main bearings? Tow it my shop in Oregon I’ll rebuild it while drinking whiskey and won’t send you down the rabbit hole. Honestly if you need a new piston and rod, this is $150 dollars in parts...
