DFW BS Thread : ********NEW MEET!! CHECK POST #1*******

Don't live in Dallas. We've had 30 homicides so far in May and the month is no even over.

 

You can beat that high score. I have faith in you.

 

New guy looking to buy a truck. Anyone recognize it?

This is pretty random but my original engine threw a rod at 187k miles and I bought a engine from lkq with 84k miles on it. Here are pictures of the new engine, is there anything I should look at before installing it?

 

Compression and leak-down test the cylinders, make sure the crank rotates freely, but that's about it really.

Unless you want to tear it apart and mic the internal dimensions

 

Anyone interested in connondale trail 5 29r road 3 times 2 months old then hurt my knee at work possibly need surgery.

 

So since this is a pretty new engine I would have to worry about replacing the main and rear seal gaskets or valve gaskets? I would replace the oil pan gasket correct?

 

If you want. The engine was pressure washed, so no telling if anything leaks

 

Thanks, I was hoping someone might have a tap and die, but JB Weld might be a better option

 

I mite have a die set [] []

 

Have you asked Coach for help? They will usually repair/replace/refund

 

someone decided to cut a perfectly good fender up... @Ev_trdtaco

 

I did that, except I messed up when I did it lol

 

You’re making him nervous, but he’s in too deep to quit now.

 

Get it! I messed up and realised I was too far. Don't check my build thread lol

 

Brb...

 

If you want, I'll show you the horror, prior to fixing it.

 

Had to go find the post... You cant give a teaser like that when evidence can be found so easily with telling us were it is.

Really didnt look to bad. Little touch up paint probably hides it well.

 

The snorkel hid all of it. Hence, don't be skeered.
