My 5.9 Magnum Build - Junk Yard Mule

Looks pretty much like any 5.9 ive ever torn down. Clean everything up, and put it all back together. +1 on plenum gasket failure. While you have your heads apart to put the new springs in i would suggest a valve job, at the very least lap them in, doesnt look like they were leaking between the seats so you should be good to go. I would bet the lower end bearings are fine, however a new set is like ~60 bucks, just good insurance. i also like to use the mr. gasket 1121g head gaskets for a little bump in compression. Should be a stout little truck motor when youre done.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah, I am trying not to let this thing snowball on me. I was not to worried about the heads, but you make a good point. I was planning on running the 1008 Fel-pros at 0.039 compressed. There are some negative posts about the Mr. Gs. You ever had any trouble with them?
