The diesel mechanic said the fairly slight gouge would fill in with carbon as it's above the rings. I think I need another truck that will give me decent milage. Parts ARE hard to find for the 351E to begin with.
I changed out the transaxle ten years ago to a higher ration and before taking off and traveling. Don't know the numbers off hand.
I'm going to get new gaskets and just put it all back toghether and see if mayber I want to use it for a water hauling truck as i live in the desert and could put a 300 gallon tank on it and then just leave it parked while I use up the water.
