So we just wrapped up haying season and the 4000 (3 cyl) diesel is using about a qt of oil in 3 hrs. You can see blue smoke in the exhaust and it has
been starting hard when cold so I figure the engine is worn out. From your experience, am I going to have to bore the block oversize and go with
oversize pistons? Is hone and re-ring an option? I'll have the head re-worked as well; any other items that should be overhauled at the same time?
Let me know what your experience has been.
Thanks in advance. TM
