2000 K3500 Crew Cab Long Box Build

Pretty sure all roller rockers are roller tipped?

Other motor is good. Fresh rebuild 20k ago and it’s been stored well. Know of any options for 1.6’s that aren’t roller tipped? I’m not convinced that the roller tip/rocker is worth the extra cost on a budget build.

@Supercharged111 I think he means no roller rockers? So just stamped rockers?

Yes! Stamped 1.6’s. Sorry for the confusion.

Ahh, yeah those are a thing. The link probably has what you want. I've seen roller tip with the ball, but never the other way around. Don't bother with roller tip, anyone. They're garbage. Just go full roller or stay stamped.

Thanks for the input on rockers everyone. Still on the hunt for reasonably priced stamped 1.6’s. I am sure I will find them locally or online.

A quick update... I managed to snag an engine hoist off a buddy this week. Box is off the truck and on a rolling cart for now. Time to double check brake lines and wiring, install correct exhaust mounts, prep for frame paint. I’ve used chassis saver on past projects with long term success and I am thinking the same here. Just hate the cost.

Will be pulling engine/tranny this weekend. Definitely no shortage of work to be done on this truck.

Make sure you take something nice and aggressive to that clean looking frame like a knotted cup brush or media blaster to get it down to shiny silver metal before covering it back up again. The more you dig, the more you should want to dig.

Wow, that cart/box looks tippy!

Working outside in winter must be a challenge. Keep posting.
