TONY BY FAR THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO TO SAVE YOURSELF A LOT OF TIME, MONEY AND AGGRAVATION IS TO SEND THE ENGINE TO A REPUTABLE SHOP, I DON'T MEAN JUST ANY SHOP. I SUGGEST SENDING IT TO BOSTON ENGINE, BOB DONALDS. HE IS LOCATED ABOUT 30 MINUTES OUTSIDE OF BOSTON, MA. THE ENGINE CAN BE SHIPPED TO AND FROM AND IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY YOU WILL GIVE HIM FOR THE JOB. I JUST DID AND THE VAN RUNS LIKE A CHAMP. I DID THIS AFTER I HAD A LOCAL SHOP PUT THE BOTTOM END OF THE MOTOR TOGETHER, I DID THE TOP. THE SHOP UNFORTUNATELY PUT TWO CONNECTING RODS IN UPSIDE DOWN. NEEDLESS TO SAY THE ENGINE WAS JUST SHORT OF GARBAGE IN A SHORT 20,000 MILES. BIG WASTE OF MONEY. CHECK OUT HIS WEB SITE AT BOSTONENGINE.COM GOOD LUCK JOHN S |
