This is why I was curious of what it looked like. In my limited experience fuel injected gasoline engines do not wash out cylinder walls like the carbureted ones did.
After we got the 250k mile block apart and I saw the massive taper on in the cylinders I asked my kid, how often he changed oil. He said every 3k miles.
I then asked if he was adding oil between oil changes, He said yes. For some reason I thought we had discussed that before and he said it wasn't.
Now makes a lot more sense. I was under the impression this was not burning oil. But looking at this thing, how can it not?
sat him down and talked to him about prices and expectations. He thinks he might put 50k miles on it, but not 100k. So that puts us in a gray area.
Super cheap re reing will run about $400 using clevite parts. A better re ring runs about $800 with new timing components, new oil pump. Couple other little goodies.
Then I had to explain, neither of those include head work. He thought just put 20 new valves in until I showed him the cost. We probably need to pop the 250k mile head apart and do some measuring.
First picture is the 130k mile head. Showed him how the valves look, the color of the combustion chamber compared to the second picture which is the 250k mile head.
In edit, got my pictures mixed up, fixed.
