I have an LQ4 a buddy gave me that I have been saving and am getting closer to putting it in. It has a little over 200,000 miles on it and came from a 2500 with a small van body on it delivering who knows what. Of course I would love to rebuild it but thats more time and $ postponing a project that has already taking much, much, much longer than I had hoped. I am all for doing it right the first time but I know these motors are pretty durable and that could be money spent elsewhere. The truck was wrecked and running fine when wrecked so no reason to think there is anything wrong with it. I actually have the entire truck.
What would you do?
Run it til it blows?
Pull the heads and pan check it out?
Go ahead and plan on a full rebuild and throw a cam in there while I'm at it?
Any info is appreciated.
