Good to hear you might fix it. It should be a pretty straight forward R&R. When you run into problems or have questions, post up.

Just a point of ref. I had 318,000 miles on my jimmy when I replaced the engine with a GM factory rebuilt. I now have 70k on the replacement engine. The old engine was just tired out. It did not have the same power any more but it was not burning any oil no knocks just weak.
