For the record, I helped @Jeff B pull the motor out of his Jeep. It ran fine and no problems he just built a 4.6 stroker to push his large ego around!

I bought this when I built my motor. It was very helpful …

I'm in Hickory as well if you wanna call me I can point you in the right direction. Just finished another rebuild myself, it's easy with some basic mechanical knowledge and tools.

It will. Rock on

Define "rebuild".
One man's rebuild is an oil pump and spark plugs while another's is a bare block with fresh machining marks.
It ain't a rebuild until the crank is out the old cam bearings are in the trash.

My current 4.6 rebuild going down

Absolutely agree. I call it freshen up if no machine work, just replacing parts for whatever the reason/need. It is actually cheaper to buy a remanufactured 4.0 than to do "full rebuild" with all new parts and proper machine work.

Take it down to block and start completely over have the block inspected and have machined

Did you have good luck with him so far?

It's $1k above and beyond whatever you'd spend on a standard rebuild. You can spend a lot more, you can spend a little less, but that's a solid budget number.

No issues to speak of. Shipped my pistons, rods, cam and associated stuff last Friday and received them this am. Seems like an OK dude thusfar
