Hello,
Last year i bought 3.0 from Escape, sadly, the engine has seen better days. Cams are shot - cam pitting and pistons has some slap. So right now, i am revaulating all my options.
First option is to rebuild this engine - that would mean oversize pistons and some machine work (You cant resleeve this engine am i right?).
Second option is byuing another engine in better condition. I contacted some Ford groups on Facebook and 1 guys has 3.0 but it is stored in attic for 10 years. I know its probably not good condition but the price is really tempting, he wants only 150$. I need to buy cams which are aroud 150$ so if cams were in good shape, i would still have another try with - maybe not so damaged - engine or i would just scrap it and still have my cams. (These 3.0 engines are really expensive in my country, when i was searching for one last year, almost all offers were around 2 000 - 2 500$.)
Any thoughts on this? Would you risk it?
