I agree...Pull it and clean it, and I mean everything, lifters, push rods etc. or park it till you can or you are going to be looking at a complete engine rebuild.

 

Well, time is money and there is such a concept as investing your time. Whatever money you *think* you're saving can actually cost you down the road. The course of action would be for you to buy the following book:


It's an excellent step-by-step How-to book written by one of the engineers who worked on the Magnum engine project. A machine shop will have the necessary equipment for deep cleaning the heads, block, and other pieces.

I suggest you give it some serious consideration. Maybe, for the short term, meaning the next six months or so, you follow some of the suggestions provided while saving money necessary for the job. Invest in some tools and for renting equipment (heck, scour Craigslist for engine stands and engine hoists). Enlist the aid of a friend or two to assist. You'll learn a lot and appreciate your newfound skills. Engine shops are usually really good at tutoring people so long as you listen to experience and show your appreciation.

 

Great book...It's a must have.
