My engine runs good,but is heading for a valve job and knowing myself if I pull the head I won't stop there.

They will rebuild it to your specks & paint it your color. Great warranty.
They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though.

It's not that hard. I tore my 235 apart, had a good shop do the machining, and then I reassembled everything. For about $1,600, I got an engine that is virtually brand new. I will be installing it in the truck next weekend. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 35 Apprentice | | Apprentice Joined: Feb 2009 Posts: 35 | i have had more then one engine where i just did a valve job. now the real problem is getting a good valve job. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 3 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Mar 2009 Posts: 3 | classic trucks in califon nj can handle any engine repair you may need 908-832-1117 we can give you referances if you want | | |
