So do I need to buy a new intake manifold and crossover tube if I buy a 08-10 long block? I have also heard online that even when buying a reman engine you should tear it apart and check everything, any thoughts?
I'm looking at the ATK reman from JEGS and I can pick the 05-08 and 08-10 long block options but not sure if I should get the newer model? Same price. I currently have an 05.
I didn't realize the hole existed until yesterday but it was created back in 2020 I believe when I was cranking in clear flood mode doing compression testing and the engine started and over-revved instantly.
I guess this thread got slightly derailed. So my real question is what are some necessary or must do replacements to increase reliability. I want to stay stock with power but increase reliability.
Has anyone done a full rebuild on their own engine? I am going to be doing my own rebuild soon and wanted to link up with someone who has done one.
I have built engines before but they were short blocks. I have technical experience and all the necessary tools.
Anyone who would be willing to...
