Texas/New Mexico Stateline | I would think an aftermarket in-frame kit would run less than $2000. Pistons, sleeves, bearings and gaskets. Probably not AgTalk approved, to not do more than that, but I had a 1086 IH which has a very similar engine and it was $1500 for a Federal Mogul in frame kit. It did not require any special tools at all. Other than a torque wrench and ring compressor. But I did nothing to the head other than clean it up. Even left the injectors in. Runs like a top now.
It had the same deal. Coolant in oil and it was a sleeve leaking.
