Hey guys, I took my 85 ranger 2.8 to get some oil leaks checked out. It’s leaking pretty bad but only when driving. They said the valves and some other seals are leaking pretty bad and the truck is taking oil in the intake. It idles poorly. They recommended I get it rebuilt. Getting a quote from a machine shop soon.
This truck only has 105,000 miles but did sit for a while, it also still has the original carb and EFI situation. The truck is rust free and everything else is in great shape. Just looking for some advice on whether this is a good idea to do the rebuild and if I should go ahead and do the Duraspark conversion at the same time.
