I'am thinking about having a 235 rebuilt and after pricing it out and sorcing the machine work,I'am wondering if I'd be better off having one of the big rebuilders like Jasper do it.Has anyone done this and what was the outcome? My engine runs good,but is heading for a valve job and knowing myself if I pull the head I won't stop there. Thanks

Jaspers has a program for specialty engines. 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. Same thing.

if id doesn't need it why have it rebuilt? maybe just get the valve job and your back on the road. i mean you could feel the cyl ridge but i think if it don't need it why spend the $$$. just buy another truck. grin

Why not rebuild it yourself? 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.
