As for a ford rebuild last time I asked it was 10,000 bucks for one and you had to pay ford to install it for warranty, I could rebuild it my self a couple times for that,
That spin weld sounds like a neat process
If I'm going to look in to a short block for know any ideas?

The warranty applies whether a dealer installs the engine or just sells it to you. But if it's really 10 grand, it sure wouldn't be worth it to me . . .

Over-The-Counter (Sold by a Dealer or Installer)

This statement applies to "over-the-counter" customers of a Dealer or Installer, such as a retail or fleet customer. Specific customer actions are required to receive Warranty Reimbursement for assemblies sold "Over-The-Counter." The over-the-counter customer (retail, fleet or general installer) can, at their option:

Return the vehicle to the Dealer from which the assembly was purchased, during regular business hours for repair by the Dealer, or
Return the defective Ford or Motorcraft<sup>®</sup> remanufactured diesel engine to the Dealer (from which the assembly was purchased) during regular business hours for repair by the Dealer, or
Obtain replacement parts or assembly from the Dealer that sold the Ford or Motorcraft<sup>®</sup> remanufactured engine and completing repairs using labor supplied by the over-the-counter customer

Bad injector:

Loose injector:

Same engine, different sticks:

Rich, whats the deal with the Lighter?
