What parts can I use off my old motor?
My 4.0 sohc had a bad head gasket or a cracked head, on or the other or both. EWither way I picked up one from a junkyard for $400 and someone swapped it in for me for $400 plus $120 parts (fluids gaskets ect.) So now my truck runs again and I have this old motor with a cracked head or whatever, he said is was filled with coolant and everything was white inside.
What parts are worth saving? I dont know what to take off before I drop it off at a junkyard or dump. I drove home about 20miles in the rain with the motor in the bed so it got wet, whatever cant get wet like sensors I think are out of the question |
I'd personally save it just incase .

i got no where to put it accept outside and its just gonna get old and rust so i figured if theres some crap i could take off and put in a box in my garage that would help out at some point in the future

If you put it outside can you put a tarp on it to keep the rain off?
|
Make sure you drain the oil and add some clean oil so it doesn't seize. You should be able to reuse a majority of the parts as long as you clean them up.
|
the whole motor pretty much just get a trap or find something to store it in outside

i agree, if you don't have the room as a single unit. tear it down. put all the pistons in a shoebox with the rings. heads are not that big are they? block by itself would be the biggest.
