Hey guys have a 2000 dakota 4.7l v8 - just curious if anyone has experience rebuilding, or getting machine work done. salvageable buy new??
cylinder heads:




also i can see the compression rings check out:

 

ouch. That one is done. I'm gonna say go shopping for a reman. That core is done.

 

A shop can't bore out the cylinders and put over sized pistons in?
if I were to get reman know of any places to check for one? Shopping wise

 

machining the block and getting new heads will cost more than a reman. You might check into LKQ/EngineQuest/I can't remember the third one (It's a reman division of LKQ)

 

Someone ran that thing way past broke it is now junk.

Isn't the block torched or cracked where the head damage is?
If not there probably in other places as it was likely overheated many times (if not just one big one).

Valves hitting pistons too? WTF?
