How deep should I go into an engine that has 185k miles on it? I pulled the engine for overheating and oil leaks from the backside of the engine. No burning oil or smoke.
I noticed I can buy an overhaul kit which includes piston rings bearing gaskets timing gears and guides and tensioner for $469. Available std 10- 20 or 30 over. 2.4L 16 valve 2014 engine.
Do you think it’s overkill to do the pistons and rings? There is no ridge in the liners. I’ll pull the valves and check them .
Pulling the head was a learning process having T55 torx bit bolts down 2” into head so I had to purchase a 6”. 1/2 drive to break the heavily torqued bolts.
