There is a local guy selling a 2002 1500 extended cab that had a bad motor in it. I'm hoping I can rebuild his original motor (though it seems to be scattered among mechanic and machine shops). I have a couple questions:
1) I've read that the heads on these 4.7's are "unable" to be worked on the majority of the time.
Is this true or are people just not taking their heads to the right people with the right machines?
2) also, if I can't rebuild this one...which engine years will work without having to rewire a bunch of crap or a new ecu?
3) if it previously had bent valves....is it safe to assume the heads are probably cracked? I thought these were non interference, so jot sure how they got bent.
Thanks for the help.
