I have an old ugly beast of a Bronco that has 107000 miles on it. I thought about selling it a few years ago, but I just couldn't part with it. It gets driven less than 1K miles a year. Well a funny thing happened last Sunday. I drove it up to the store and back. When I got home I noticed oil dripping from the tail pipe. I check the oil and its about a quart low, thats when I noticed oil coming out of the air box. I checked all the "not motor" items that can cause this and they were fine. Checking the motor was not so good, the compression test did not end the way I would have liked. Really low PSI on 7 and 8 with leaking rings. So its time for a motor. What would be better, picking up a used motor or rebuilding the one I have. As to the rebuilding all machine work would be done by a pro, the rest would be done by me. I cant justify spending too much on this as it is a low value clunker but I would like to keep it.
Thanks
