OK. Looks like I'm gonna go with a rebuilt from one of the reputable ones (Bob's/AVP/etc) on my new to me camper with the almost no oil pressure. Real question now is, do I do the swap myself and save the grand (and learn a thing or 2 about this rig) or do I pay another and save the frustration (and possibly $) Background: I've my fair share on major car operations under my belt. As a kid (I'm pushing 40 now) I had lots of time and little $. I've pulled and rebuilt GM, Ford, Saab, Triumph, Volkswagon (ok, it was a 75 rabbit that needed a new head), and others. But now my money time availability has switched. Question for the group. Is this pull and replace of a rebuilt engine something I can pull off in a few weekends, or should I simply pony up the dough to a pro Thanks for the input Phil |
