time for a new engine?

[RusTy Max]

Yep, I did it, and I'll do it again if you wanna drag it over here to Pensacola, FL. And pay for the parts and beer to do it!

come on dulsey you can do it. we are always here to help. it really isnt that hard. take lots of pics and take your time. the hardest part is getting over the fear of the first time rebuild. after that,,,,,,,,you wont be worried.

Dulsey...You will be surpised how easy it really is once you get into it. There are little tricks of the trade but we can help you with that. Every bolt/nut/washer etc needs to be bagged and tagged so you know what goes where during assembly. Then, it is just a peice by peice game. Pictures are priceless as you can refer back to them if you forget where something goes or how it was mounted etc. Once you get all the fluff off the top and actually get the bare motor exposed, it really starts to get fun. You should totally go this route. You will be the first girl I know of to step outside of thier comfort zone and give it a shot. Like others have said, we wouldn't leave ya hanging.

Plus, you would have something cool to tell your grandkids....hahahahahaha

you won me with the first girl you know.. thing lol

more than likely, i'll at least give it a shot. what can i lose, right? i either do it right and have some damn nice bragging rights, or fuck it up and be right back where i am now.. lol

ok guys. here's the deal....

no rebuild or swap for a while.. me and my mom got into a big argument and it looks like i'm going to be moving out this weekend. [too bad the Max isn't running.. i could use that truck bed right about now lol] i'll be moving to a town about 40 miles away and also about 50 miles further from work.

right now i have to worry about getting my truck hauled to the new town. but a rebuild is becoming more and more appealing to me. thanks for the encouragement and confidence guys. thats a big help when it comes to a first time project.

i'll keep you guys updated as to when i should be able to start the teardown

[MMaxx94]

I hope everything works out for the best to you.

thanks Mike. it'll all come together with time.
