Yeah, the kid that had it before me used it strictly for mudding and the engine is about shot. Got bad pinston rings, bad valves, pretty much a bad block/heads haha but I dont wanna put too much money into it if I'm just getting a new motor!

Go make a thread in the 2nd gen tech section and people will assist you there, this thread is for what you've gotten done - ie you FIXED the issue, you replaced parts, you installed a new something. This thread isn't a place to ask for help man.
