Shop or mechanic recommendation in Seattle area

Post by CraigM »

I need to find a shop or mechanic preferably in the Seattle area that can service my hydraulic lifter valves in my 300. Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Craig,
What sort of problems are you having?
The 300" 6 is a fairly straight forward engine. A lot of the service work can be done a person with basic mechanic skills and minimal tools.

Roger,

I bought the truck a few months ago and upon hearing the engine run for the first time it was my dad who mentioned the valve tick-tick-tick-tick-like clutter.
My only experience in repair has been bolt-on up to this point. I'm not sure if this is something I could do with my skill-set so I would prefer to have a professional tackle it. Also would be nice to get a mechanic to give the whole engine/suspension a good once-over check while he/she is at it.
