That blows man! Sorry for your luck. What's the plan used long block?

I have a short block and a crank, might have to build it from there. Know of one ready but cost is a little high. Heads, cam, and valve train is and won't be stock so it all has to be produced too. Pistons will be coated too. So buying a used short block will give me all the cores. LOL

Man this is costing you a small fortune sorry to say. Hope they find some good news when they tear into it. Good luck.

It is everything I had (almost), and I can't go back. When you break it, you build it better. Right? Maybe not this time. LOL I would love some good news tomorrow, this crap tends to jack up a day.

yeah it does, suks not knowing. Maybe you'll catch a bone with the tear down. Even if you don't you'll have a game plan soon enough to get it back rolling coal. Keep us posted.

I know my engine build didn't cost anything like you are looking at but when I dropped my truck off for studs/turbo/injectors then get a call saying it looks like your gonna need a rebuild I know that just puts a huge damper on the day! Hope you get it fixed soon and it's better than it was! Good luck man good luck!

I was expecting carnage, but what I heard yesterday was way more sever than what I was reasonably expecting. A rebuild is one thing but a complete rebuild and a performance build is gonna kick me in the nuts! Can't change it now. LOL Got an excuse to get a new trailer and BFT got to come by and see cotton for the first time. :clapping:

what happened? Now I have mexicans that look like ET and they are going to make taco shaped circles in my crops!? LMAO It might look like fun wheeling but it is all flat. Don't think about mud bogging, that clay loam will eat and swallow you and your truck. HCP! FTW! :jammin:
