I'll be calling the machine shop tomorrow to see what the cost is to clean the block and install new cam bearings. If it's too costly, then the pressure cleaner and mineral spirits it is.

Looks to me like someone was using Pennzoil and thought they could go 20k between changes.....

Local machine shop wants $65 to clean the block. I priced a re-ring kit at Autozone for $600!!!!! For that amount I found a replacement 4.8l on ebay and the best part is that the salvage yard its coming from is on the other side of Mobile Bay(Daphne, AL). How cool is that. Lastly, this engine is $450 and has a 6mos warranty!!! I may just end up doing this and selling off the pieces of this current 4.8l for someone who is wanting to rebuild something.
Opinons? Thoughts? Comments? Remarks?

sounds like a wise decision to me

Id pop the pan on the one in the JY just to make sure its not as bad as the one you have and not filled with water.

I'll be calling them tomorrow. Hell, maybe they offer a military discount! I'll post the results. If I do end up with a new engine....I'll selling off the engine in pieces that I've got. It'll be good for someone going for a nice build.

Well, I hope to be picking up a replacement engine next week. This one, WITH warranty!
