Dead cylinder at 120k. Turned out to be suffering from a lot of shady wrenching, chain ramp floating around inside of the case, wrong oil used and badly pitted cams. Failed safety collar rattling around in block, bearings down to the copper, RTV all over everything.

So if you figure mine was one of the bigger train wrecks on a 3.0l it did very well all things considered. But it needed a ton of new stuff, p&c's, a cam tower, new cams and rockers. I don't think we reused anything besides the case and the crank.
