What exactly do you mean by ‘majority of the top end’ being rebuilt? Just curious because technically this engine doesn’t have a removable top end. Are you talking about reconditioning the heads?
Yeah, I went all out with it. Full reseal, new oil pan, rear main seal, new dipstick housing, 8 injectors, glow plugs, new HPOP with all lines and fittings, EBP delete with new up pipes, turbo-back exhaust, brand-new turbo, fuel bowl delete kit with Airdog sump, stainless steel fuel lines, water pump, thermostat, Mishimoto intercooler and trans cooler, OEM radiator, new starter, charge air cooler boots, belts, pulleys, new battery harness with copper ends, new Odyssey batteries, heater core, engine harness, IPR valve, camshaft sensor. We’re just scratching the surface here. Did a compression test beforehand—no blow-by. I’m confident this motor has another 380k in it.
