I did a welcome post in the new members area about me and the truck. Here is the condensed version. Son blew up first engine in the truck. Wife had engine replaced with junk yard engine by very poorly skilled mechanic. I am now seeking the forum's knowledge to help me get the truck back on the road.
I did a compression test and oil pressure test on the engine. I have 185 lbs of compression all cylinders and 17 lbs of oil pressure with the engine warm and transmission in drive. Have about 22 lbs at operating temp and in park.
Here is a link to the video of what it sounds like hot or cold. I'm thinking a timing chain job is next on my list. Opinions greatly appreciated.
Thanks
