[QUOTE="Lt.Dan, post: 1380662, member: 24137"] Got the motor out, came out a lot easier than i expected, didnt have to rotate the motor 90*, but i did have to tilt the front up a little bit to clear. Left the radiator fan on, and the entire AC system is still intact, just strapped up out of the way. Now the cleaning begins! My buddy also picked up the motor today and is taking it to his shop. Going to clean it, amd do a leakdown test, if it comes out good, then hes going to pull the pan and check out the bearings, and if that comes out good, then hes going to reseal the oil pan, do the front cover, and rear main seal, and do the dipstick repair kit i bought from riffraff. He also heard from the machine shop today, they said the heads are in perfect shape, no cracks whatsoever, and the surface was only .003", and they were debating on if they should even deck the surface! They decided since i was this far into it, i might as well, and its not very expensive. So they are machining tomorrow! We also realized something once we pulled the motor out... The oil filter was still attached to the motor. Meaning it was still full of oil, and wasnt "contaminated" when i pulled the heads off and spilled coolant everywhere. So we are going to siphon what we can out of the filter and have an oil analysis done. Hopefully it can tell us if there is coolant in the oil, or fuel in the oil, or neither? I also gave him all 8 injectors, hes going to get them tested, $40 an injector, and see how theyre holding up. It will tell me how old they are as well... When i get the motor back, it should be pretty much assembled and ready to drop in, other than put the valve covers and turbo on, and fill it with oil. Oh and install it in the truck... Im getting overly-excited about getting my truck back! [/QUOTE]
