Great write-up! I have a 2004 4wd with 110K miles. The vehicle overheated and lost compression on both sides. All the signs of blown head gasgets. I dont know the extent of any other damage yet until I get it apart. I read all the discussion on the plastic guides on the pre-2002 engines. Seems they improved the design on the 2002+ motors but I am thinking I should just replace them anyways since I will have the motor out. Anyone know how far the 2002+ ones go? Assuming regular oil changes? Once out I will post a pic of the condition.
Anyone have a link to torque specs once I reassemble?
Also, a good link to buying parts online?
Thanks,
Lorin
