I went to mm today and it turns out that the oil all over hte bell housing and that was not from the rear main. The inside of hte bell housing was dry. It turns out i'm leaking out of the back of my heads. Its going to run me 1300 for a head gasket job. I have 67k on my engine which means since the engine is coming out i should freshen it up or something at least. I figured if the engines coming out and the head gasket is being done why not throw cams in at the same time, but my bottom end will still be the same with high miles on it. I dont think thats a smart idea what do you think. I've also been looking and i see i can pick up a cobra engine (not a terminator) for around 3grand with low miles.
I'd hate to pull the motor out to do the head gasekt and change the cam and them have something a little while later go on the bottom end. How many miles with a engine around 300 hp will my bottom end be good up until?
