Hey guys, thanks for the comments and keeping up with the saga. The well-wishes are appreciated very much too! My truck is still at Ronnie's shop, I just took the motor to the engine guy, so no worries on my truck. I showed up at the shop this evening with my brother and an engine hoist, to my surprise he has it on a engine stand and one of his guys putting it back together. He had taken the valve covers off, the damper, the oilpan, and the timing chain cover. Why he took it apart I have no idea. All he did is put some JB Weld on it and magnaflux the area, so I was told. They could not find any issues with it so he felt it was fixed. I don't know if I feel good about it, but I sure feel good that my engine is sitting in the shop beside my truck!!! I'll get some pics tomorrow of the mess they did.
