bad news...

so my dad had a good look at the 94 f-150 i just bought recently since i noticed if it sat for a good couple days it would smoke black for a bit after start up... so he figured it was the valve seals but he cut open the oil filter and theres metal shavings galore... theres also a knock but thicker oil might fix that apperently but he said we probably are gonna have to rip it apart and possibly rebuild it....

opinions?

i think if its gonna happen i should invest in some performance items / machineing work while we are at it

That is to bad, but if you have to tear it apart than you might as well spruce up the motor a bit.

Sure copy me! (sarcastic) I'm going to for unique and all I get is wannabes. I will have enough power to beat Sherm's truck in speed and strength categories. Those airbags won't save you.
