5.9 mag tear down with pics...no tensioner?

Good info....
Can you tell me what year this block is ?
The year will be cast into the block. Look for more numbers. I think it was on the passenger side, if I remember correctly.
How much ridge is at the top of the bores; does it catch your fingernail pretty good, or not much at all? Your block should be useable no problem. Most of them are.
Also, could you post a photo of the valley area, and one of the deck surface where the head bolts on?
It looks like this one did not have very well maintained oil changes, and I often find the camshaft bearings falling apart on a Magnum block with poor oil changes. I would suggest removing the cam and checking. If they are in tact not showing excessive wear, leave them alone.
