arthur , ontario | As a fella with more experiences in 401 engine adventures then I care to admit to? I recommend having it rebuilt at a local shop you can work with? you could partially dismantle the engine yourself, remove head,front cover and timing gear train, pan and pump,oiler cooler housing,etc. or let them do it all? the repair liners are quite common and the shop should be familiar with that procedure? I would replace all valves in head and pay close attention to springs and retainers, replace oil pump,as older ones can have idler problems? check front bearing plate behind cam gear.may as well have the inject pump and injectors gone over while you are at it! I know this sounds a bit much? but any one of these parts can spell disaster! Last fall checked the NH reman idea and was told core is any where from 200 to 2000? their choice? | |
