[QUOTE="coyoteugly5.0, post: 14167727, member: 154759"] Few questions After looking at pricing to get the forged internals/boss rotating assembly/shortblock rebuild , and considering my current position I'm in financially, I've decided to cheap out and just try to get this car back on the road asap. Can I re-use my head studs and nuts? What would be the disadvantage of re-using them if so? Can I pull just the drivers head, drop the oil pan, and change the piston and rod? Can I re use anything? (rod bearings, main bearing, etc)I think I read somewhere they were specific for each rod? Even if the block is scorned up, can I just bore .005 over and get oversized rings? If so, does this make a weak link? If I get lucky and cheap out, how reliable is just replacing the ring and piston? In the worst case scenario, and the cylinder wall is scorned, can I just get it re sleeved and replace the rod, piston, and ring? How much should I pay for something like a re sleeve job at a maching shop, and where do I buy the sleeve? I obviously want the car to be reliable after its all back together, but I'm really tight right now money wise, and need the cheapest alternative. Does anyone know of any step by step guides on someone removing the 5.0 from a 2011 mustang? I've googled and had no luck at all. I've pulled several engines before, but would like a guid to make sure this job is done right Also, where are the parts? I looked on oreillys and didn't see a complete engine gasket set? I imagine it would be cheaper, because pulling the engine I'll need them exhaust collector gaskets, intake manifold gasket, oil pan gasket etc So far I'm thinking for the parts list Rod Piston Bearing Engine gasket set 8 quarts oil coolant So again, do I need to buy new head studs? Rod bearings? What am I missing... [/QUOTE]
