Since I've yet to find any buyers for my M38A1, I decided to do something constructive with my spare time today. Got the tub off and pressure washed a bunch of grime off the frame. Found the rebuild t ... |

Agree with others, $1500 just for labor sounds awful high. I recently rebuilt my Jeep Comanche 4cyl 2.5L motor. A little over $500 for all block work including cam grind and crank. Another $480 in pa ... |

I'm really torn about either keeping or selling my M38A1 I recently picked up. We are planning on moving soon and I have two other current projects I'd like to finish. I'd feel much better selling it ... |

Pulled the pan tonight. Gasket looked brand new and all the bearings had no wear. The inside of the engine looked cleaner than my 91 Comanche when I rebuilt it however the crankshaft needs machining a ... |

Pulled the head, pretty grim. Looks like a total rebuild. Block surface and cyliner walls are pitted in a couple places and found three frozen valves, rusty as all $&%. |
