Clean title. Just needs a head gasket.

So if anyone has missed my woes, I broke a valve train bolt at the beginning of summer. Bought a boat anchor of a used one that didn’t work out. So I bought a complete one off of eBay and it showed up in a few days.

I disassembled and applied assembly lube all over. This is key to avoid grenading the set up straight away. I put it on the truck and everything is looking good. Adjusting the valves was new to me and I still need to fine tune some ticking. Timing was a bear bc I kept getting 1 tooth off of TDC, but dialed in now.

2 things:

1. OEM spark plugs don’t fit the space with a socket. Plugs from a 92-96 V6 Dodge Dakota do bc they are 5/8” socket.

2. Keep your OEM cam if it’s still good bc I’ve heard it’s a weak point

I’m learning more about my B2K with every summer overhaul 😂
