well that sucks. I have always used 1 piece valves when I have rebuilt an engine, not because I was worried about this happening but rather because I was usually shooting for 400HP or more on a build so I went with stronger stuff.
so what's the plan now? new truck, find a block and such in a junk yard and do another rebuild, or do we look at a crate engine?
I'll probably try for a minimal mileage 5.4 replacement but I am toying with the idea of installing a 6.2 and a matching 6 speed. Need to transplant all the electronics and wiring. Friends the 6.2 setup are happy with the performance of the 6.2.
Or I'll find a bigger truck and possibly camper.
I have to say, I'm very pleased with the Enterprise rental truck, an International CV, I understand it to be a rebranded Chevy 6500. Drives and performs nicely, and it's 4x4.
