Saw a coolant leak.
Found leak to be coming from timing cover.
Pulled timing cover.
Decided to finally install JBA headers that I got a while back.
Snapped bolts trying to get exhaust manifolds off.
Pulled heads.
Taking heads in today to get them rebuilt.
I have new plugs, cap, rotor going in.
Now that I am this far into the engine, what else should I do?
I pull a small construction trailer sometimes and have a topper on with tools in the back of the truck. Lacks power pulling the small trailer.
I don't want to spend a million dollars and I need to get this back on the road ASAP. I need just a little more "juice" but I don't want to make the truck unreliable and I need it to last me a few more years- maybe another 170k miles.
I've looked on Summit and Jegs and haven't really found any reasonable options for performance parts. Also, I don't think the UD pulley set is worth the money, is it? And it is only the one pulley- the crank pulley?
Injectors?
I am not sure what the stock injectors put out but I see that there are some aftermarket on Jegs. Are they worth it and in what case would I want to use any of these? JEGS High Performance
Camshaft?
Are there any reasonably priced cams out there?
Intake?
Again, are there any reasonably priced options out there?
Timing chain?
Is there a gear set available?
