Message: [QUOTE="Dan, post: 780595, member: 12188"] I agree 100% I feel like trying to stick up for myself here is going to be a wasted effort but I'm going to give it a shot to explain WHY. The engine that is in the truck right now is yes an unknown. But that aside here's what that engine doesn't have: it doesn't have a big cam, it doesn't have cut, coated delipped pistons, it doesn't have ported and polished heads and it doesn't have a ported intake manifold. Also it is the early 2012 model year engine that has been known to drop glow plug tips, <- and for that reason alone I want to go to ford, purchase the updated long block and then have that one professionaly built by whomever.. Is it a waste of money? It's peace of mind that's for sure! Also I don't see the point of setting a wrench on that engine unless I'm going to do it right with all the things that IMO are part of a proper build, and here it is: I don't have that kind of cash to do it right now, in 3 months, absolutely, ill get the new long block and start building away, but for now, I have already written off the one that's in there in my mind! I hope I explained that well enough and I hope someone agrees with my logic, I'm not going to pull heads to check it out with out putting some cut coated pistons in there... And I appreciate this, I don't think I'm the first person that has had to build an engine twice.. [/QUOTE]
