2nd owner cargo van. Ran good and got decent gas mileage. Idled smooth and didn't smoke. Shifted up and down smoothly. Cold A/C. Tires have about 14,000 miles on them. Replaced 2-leaf leaf springs to 3-leaf. Replaced front ball joints, starter and A/C hoses. Daily user until Dec 2017. Sat for a month and when I started it up it made a metallic noise from right bank and lost oil pressure. Checked oil pressure sending unit. It was okay. Was told by Ford mechanic that issue was probably a spun bearing. Took top end off and sent both heads to shop for re-working. Raised engine and dropped oil pan. Found small aluminum pieces in pan and saw number 1 cylinder rod had snapped. Also noticed some water in oil so my guess is that I had a blown head gasket and it leaked into #1 cylinder and when I started it is when the rod snapped. I have the following new parts on hand that will go with the van;New Melling oil pumpNew timing chains, sprockets, tensioners and guidesNew main and rod bearings Complete gasket setOil pan gasketHead boltsExhaust manifold studs and nutsRe-worked heads (still in plastic bags from machine shop) I can't go any further with the repairs so my loss is your gain! I would love to be able to continue with the engine and sell it for possibly $5K but I can't do it. Original owner had put in an after-market security system w/door locks. That system is failing and I was in the process of removing it. On Sep-03-18 at 13:53:44 PDT, seller added the following information: While it isn't specifically stated in my item description, one can infer by reading the description that the engine is in a dis-assembled state. The intake, both heads, timing chain cover and oil pan have been removed. The block is still bolted to tranny. The engine mounts have been unbolted. It was a daily user, ran great. Sat for a month with an unknown blown head gasket. Water leaked into #1 cylinder and that caused the rod to snap when I started it.
