i just had a friend of mine rebuild my 2 6.2 motors, so one went in the truck (install still pending.... i got it mostly in) and now i also have a spare. also the insurance company paid for a new motor so thats a second spare. since we have 2 trucks im keeping spares for both of us. im still waiting on the new motor to show up though.

Always nice to have a backup. I'm seem to go through motors like I go through socks. I have had 3 motors in my jeep and this will be the 3rd one in the Raptor.

That engine is scrap metal.

The green coolant in the intake is the money shot- literally.

Yep. Put 10# in cylider 1 and air comes out the coolant reservoir. No Bueno!
Shop will be pulling head off tomorrow morning to see what we see. Block had cylinder support system so curious to what it looks like.
