I recently adopted a D1 -96 3,9 that was stuck at the dealer with the doom "needs a new engine". Since it was much better shape in frame, body and interior than my -95 I thought it was worth looking into what was the situation with the engine.
I have now removed the engine and are taking it apart. Found this tonight, let me know what you think has happned. What I know is that it went to dealer to get a new oilpump installed about a year ago.
Looking at rockers they are all fine, as well as pushrods. Cam looks OK from valley, but I will take the heads off now and see how the valves and piston heads look like.
Thanks!
