This got buried in the mess that was street view house posting, just thought I would throw it back out for the people that missed it....yeah right, no one "missed" it.

Having the HG done, as well as unclogging an EGR issue, new water pump, fuel filter (a pain to access) belts, front main seal, oil pump gasket seal, flowed and balanced injectors and any other small wear item that looks like it could use a refresh.

Oh there it is.

Its all aluminum and even with the camshafts out it weighs a billion lbs.

Hey look, the camshafts!

Also, another head[less] shot

Also on the menu is a front axle service with new seals, regear to 4.56 front and rear and new front brakes.

HOORAY TAX REFUND! (guess I had better with hold less this year.)

242k miles, and look at that engine, looks pretty damn good if you ask me. The tech said the block is strait, the head is strait and the valves don't even look worn. That's why I put up with measly power, because the next time I will have to do this is....never (I guess in another 20+ years if gas is still around)

As soon as I get it back, off goes the stock suspension and in goes the new TJM 50 mm lift with progressive coils and adjustable dampers. In addition I am adding a new 12v socket in the back and some usb ports up front on a new 3 slot circuit I installed before taking her in.

as solid as it can get. Love those engines. I'd rather do a head gasket job thanan antenna mast motor on an old LC or LX450 any day :]

I MISSED IT. Awesome. never seen one of these with the head off. Kinda makes me want to stick with mine instead of yank it out. Also exciting about the gears. Can't wait to hear how she pulls.
