barricade88 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 My names Tyler, I have a 78 pick up that has a L20 in it but its not gonna last long. I'm looking to buy a new one, a rebuilt one, or any kind of L20. I want to put a rebuilt one in it. I'm willing to buy a complete one. Or one that needs work. I'm in Vancouver, WA if you have or know anyone wit one please let me or them know. Thank you. 360 771 0493 barricade88@yahoo.com Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Well sometimes all it needs is some adjustments to make it run better. This is way better than $1,500 - $2,000 for a rebuild. What make you think it's not long to last? Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 what makes you think its dead? or on its way out? unless you have a disapointing compression test try adjusting the valves and giving it a tune up and see what happens Quote Link to comment
barricade88 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have, I've done all that. And it's hard to adjust and fix things when I'm still learning about my truck. And I have almost 400,000 mile on it Quote Link to comment
Silvester Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 400,000 would indicate its getting a little tired Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Unless this is the third engine. Quote Link to comment
barricade88 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 It's very tired. Quote Link to comment
barricade88 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 But I want another l20 to start rebuilding so when I have to take that engine out I have one ready. Then ill rebuild that one Quote Link to comment
Travis Trinidad Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I have a l20b that I just pulled out I live in Nevada so shipping is an issue. Just message me for more info. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment
