been knocking since i bought it, was quieter back then.
always thought it was an injector, until i replaced it
ive only put about 5k on the truck, its not the daily driver
at any rate, any ideas on how much rebuilding it would cost?
ive seen complete kits on ebay for $1300, dont know if the parts are
quality or not

The cost will depend on your local machine shop rates and how much work you do yourself.

Couldn't you pull the head and oil pan, unbolt the connecting rod, push the rod/piston out, and replace the bearing that way or is it assumed that the journal is toast?

dont know if I should get my crank turned and put in thicker bearings or just stay
with new original sized bearings and get new crank, been checking on ebay and finding good used cranks for $100-200. I wouldnt think pulling the head is neccessary, with the pan off the piston should drop out the bottom to be inspected

I happen to know a guy that will sell you a good crank and a couple spare rods for 150.00, not sure what shipping would do to you though.

ill probably tear it apart and inspect before getting any parts for it, the truck is
pretty beat, might end up parting it out if its too bad, just saw an ad for a super clean 93 f350 4x4 quad cab for 4500 , seems reasonable.
but if i end up keeping it ill get back with you about the parts, thanks
