She's on her last leg

Months ago I did something stupid and hydrolocked my engine. Rymanrph was there to record it all, he could tell the story better than I could. I knew once we got it running again on the trail that I was on borrowed time with the ol 4.0. Well, the time has come. I'm burning a quart of oil every few hundred miles, don't need to do a compression test to know the cylinder walls are scored to hell from the muddy water that filled em. 

 

I'm on the look out for a functional, preferably Renix 4.0. Junkyard would be a last resort, because I know many of you probably have a couple collecting dust. I'm posting this in the Pub because I'm not quite ready to jump on a purchase yet, but I suppose it's more to share your stories about required engine swaps. And to tell me the MJ "ain't a gosh dang submarine".

Sorry to hear that. Back this summer I did the same thing with my 4 banger. I flushed it out only to have it throw a rod about 1000 miles later. Once you submerge them they really are never the same. Just completed my engine swap with another 4 banger back in Oct. its running well again. I hope you find something that works well for you!
