So once I committed to buy this truck I tore into the so called rebuilt engine and found that it would not turn over, it was locked up. Checked the oil and found that there was plenty of coolant mixed with it.

Nothing to do now but tear it down and find out whats going on with it. I started taking pictures as I tore the engine down to help once I started putting it back together.


Now that its out, its time to see whats going on......


Well I be danged, I don't think the oil pick up tube belongs in the crank, no wonder it was locked up. Also all of the head bolts were loose, which I am guessing is why I have coolant in the oil.
