I have a renix motor

 

Let me expand on the issue.

Piston rings worn to the point the block pressurizes and blows unburnt fuel/oil into the airbox to the point that the air filter was 100% coated.

Oil pressure low, so bad that after a long drive, it will drop to 0 at a dead stop. Suspect crank bearings.

 

How is the condition?

 

It ran great in my jeep. I think it had around 160k

 

I found one that applys...

 

How much? Mind you im unemployed

 

Cam bearings generate oil pressure Jake, Master Rebuild kit prolly run you $400 and you could rebuild the whole thing. Rings/bearings/gaskets/seals everything. Ill help you if you can get it to my shop. Got everything we need cept parts....

 

100$. Comes with everything but the flexplate.

 

well there ya go Jake, less work for cheaper. If you get rid of your renix motor let me know. I got some plans just need a block

 

Sounds a lot better than a $400 rebuild kit. Lemme make some calls. Any interest in tj flairs?

 

Yeah sounds alot better, till you learn that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I have installed many a used motor just to be pulling it again in a few months because something was horribly wrong. I always at minimum put fresh gaskets in and check ring gap and end play on bearings while the motor is out....

 

yeah, at least do that damned rear main seal and check the freeze plug while its out.

 

Just ordered a bunch of misc tabs, shock tabs, and clevis mounts. Let me know if anyone is interested. I can hook you up on installation/welding them too.

 

Saturday August 18th in Hagerstown.

 

I have been contemplating converting the pickup to a fuelie setup.... thoughts? I have finally found a decent kit with very simple tuning.
