1996 GMC Jimmy before (L) and after (R). Nothing changed much as far as exterior. It had sat for 2 years after water got in the oil and took out a bearing. |

After stripping the engine for overhaul it was determined that the crankshaft and one rod were ruined. A used crank and rod were rounded up and the entire engine was overhauled with new parts. It is now .020 over-bored, .010/.010 crankshaft, balanced, rods reconditioned, valve job, heads and block decked, new oil pump, bearings, pistons, and much more. After the engine was installed, a new water pump, alternator, fluids, filters, cap, rotor, wires, and much more were installed. A new fuel filter was installed along with shocks and all fluids underneath were drained and replaced. As of 11/11/07 it has 1100 miles on the overhaul with no problems. Mileage is at 17 MPG so far and hoping for improvement. |
