Time to start planning

[justin11045]

as my V6 is fixed and back in cali time to start thinking about whats first (other than taking the motor our for inspection) as i will not drive it far, the knocking is so bad now i can hear it at idle. time and place to tear out the motor? any ideas?

Possible pull it out and tear it down after my 5.0 on wed? You wouldn't be able to leave them here though, but I'll definitely help pull and tear down the motor

not when there is no time limit on how long it will be down... maybe you shouldnt take it apart till you have the money for machine work and parts

yes you will, either need it turned or a new one.. the last time i heard it... i would say a new one! just budget for it.. plan to buy a new one.. add it all up wait till you have the money call a couple machine shops budget for that as well then once you have the money pull the motors and take it in
