I might be in the market for a used or rebuilt Chevy 4.3, w engine code, 99-?
Anyone have a good experience in north Ga with a used/rebuilt company or installer?
I could install it myself.
I was going to replace the rod bearings myself. I paid someone to try. It held up for about 3 mo of light use. The knock is back.
I don't know if they measured the bearings or used a standard set.
The knock came back intermittent so I suppose it could be something else.
I might drop the pan and "verify" or increase the torque slightly.
Anyway I don't have any bottom end experience.
Anyone "save" an engine like this? It is a low use truck.
Cheers
