Be sure to replace to the oil pump to pick-up tube O-ring.
Thought about going this route, reason being this truck will eventually go to my son (that's the plan anyway, this truck will stay in the family), and I figured we can just pull the motor for rebuild when he's older and ready!

I'm checking with various machine shops on costs and what not to find out if it's really worth it for me to take it down all the way.

Oil pump and o0rings are on the way
