About 6 months of driving and was doing great, but the smoke in the cab was pretty bad. I decided to pull the engine and do a quick rebuild. I'm glad I did. Found a bunch of cracks in the exhaust manifold and a few in the intake manifold.
Also found that it had standard bore pistons in it and the holes at the bottom were about .020 over and about .040 over at the top. No wonder it had so much blow by coming out of the vent!
Good news is that I was able to spend the day and take the block from being bare to assembled and painted. Hopefully will reseal the transmission tomorrow and put the rest of the parts back on.
I need this thing to be running to make some deliveries.
