Re: 1960 GMC K1000 4x4
So i'm finely getting back around to the truck. I've been missing her lately i want to run the I6 in it but at the same time i just cant discard the v8 if it would take less money to get running again. I'm looking at atleast 800 to rebuild the I6. So i took the time last night to figure out whats up with the v8. Looks like i can get a pair of rebuild heads and she would be ready to run again its got a gouge in the piston but its still ok its not very deep. Was looking on the local classifieds last night and it looks like i can just buy another set of machined heads for close or less then rebuilding mine.
What do you guys think happen to cause this to happen, do you guys think the lifters are ok? me and my old man are thinking the value spring is what caused the value not to close fast enough allowing the piston to hit it. it over headed when it happen.
