Yikes, I'm in the process of rebuilding mine. Please share what you find. The PO had a top end rebuild done just before I bought it. I found it had cooling problems on the first long drive. A very small amount of combustion gases were escaping to the cooling system. After a new radiator, I got it figured out. The shop the PO used said if they agreed to a redo, they'd insist on new heads (at an inflated price). Additionally they swapped an instrument cluster into the van that showed 80k more miles than I had going in. I went back and got my instrument cluster - but I'll never be their customer again. Tom |
