Hi everybody,
I have decided that am going to rebuild my B6000 engine because of two reasons. One: When I drained the motor oil, the majority of it was water (made me sick). Two: The engine has been abused by previous owners (I know them), has alot of hours on it (compression is sub-par) and is just plain wore out. I would like to get an estimate of roughly what you guys think it would cost in parts to do an overhaul. I am on a limited budget, but have lots of time to tinker and work on it. I have no experience overhauling diesels, but I know somewhat how they work and I have done a chevy motor rebuild before (long time ago). Is it very hard to do? How long does it take? Will I have to mess with the pressure pump at all, I have heard they are not for amateurs! I found many overhaul kits online, but none for my engine and all were out of my price range. Any comments will be greatly appreciated!
