Parting out 2.8 motor.

I have most of a 2.8 motor. Cambelt has broken and I haven't investigated too much. I know a few pushrods are bent and its killed a rocker.

Re: Looking for a Bighorn

Is it common for the manifold to turbo bolts to fall out?

Remembering this has done 350ks. Bolts do age I guess

Re: Looking for a Bighorn

This goes from good news to good news. I had a weird exhaust noise which sounded like a leak.... Ends up its the manifold to turbo. I have seen so far one bolt is missing.
This is a weird vehicle. The egr has been removed in a professional manor, but other stuff has been bro'd up
