Hello folks
I've spent much time on the idi and powerstroke boards but none here.
Howdy.
I've got a friend with a really clean 86 dually regular cab 2wd c6/6.9 truck that has a flat cam lobe or two.
I'm wondering if you may have some advice on how to go about this repair, where to get parts, and what all should be replaced "while we're in there".
I know we're looking at cam/lifters, perhaps a timing gear/chain set, water pump, gaskets for intake, valve covers, water pump, timing cover.
Where is the best place to get parts for these engines?
Are they roller cam engines (lifters are not replaced with cam swap?)
Are the cams gear or chain drive?
Thanks guys, I've got a lot to learn here obviously.
The next step will most likely be to sell the truck, as it's been sitting 2 years, he's not going to use it enough to make it worth the plates and insurance.
whats the truck worth as is, needing repair, compared to after it's running? I think it's worth fixing as the body is very clean, absolutly no rust at all, just faded paint, especially on the dually fenders.
Thanks in advance folks.
