i have a 86 ranger i just installed a used engine form a 87 ranger. (2.9l) The engine has good power but ran like crap there was oil entering the intake through the PCV valve, all except 2 exhaust bolts were broke into the heads and the exhaust leaked like crazy. so i am in the middle of replacing with some different heads that i just got back from the shop. I am ready to go back togeather with it but had a few concerns... because i cant afford to do this wrong. its my mud truck but if i don't do it right this time it will be years before i get the money to try agin. so here are my questions...
-do i need to put anti seize or a lube on the head bolts for correct torque?
-whats a shade tree mechcanic way off cleaning the block for the new head gasket?
-What is up with the PCV valve spitting oil?
i am planning on putting togeather tomrow so any advise is welcome
Also I am poor white trash and proud of it so please any way to save money would be awesome!
