I was thinking about the switching the heads idea, I did determine that the cam on that motor is heavily worn compared to this motor, and of course I still have all the other SLS stuff removed already, so my conclusion was to just keep everything together so far.
thanks for the tip on Roy, I will do so. This motor is going to get a non EGR 116 intake/exhaust, so partly im interested in a good intense cleaning of the head, and the chain shows some pretty decent wear, so I was going to figure out how to replace it.
I also think that this replacement motor MAY have a leaking head gasket on the 5th cylinder. I can't be totally sure, but there is certainly major leakage going on back there, and its not from the valve cover.
I do need to get a copy of the FSM for this engine, thanks, wheres a good source for that?
This tensioner part is kind of alarming looking without the upper oil pan. I can't be depending on the pan to keep it square right? is this normal?
