Good morning folks,
My current employer owns a 1988 GMC Brigadier with a detroit 6v92 under the hood. Motor has severe oil leaks coming from check valves on blow by tubes, and is blowing oil out of the exhaust stack. Owner of the company is attached to the tuck and would like to repair it. I'm hoping to get some insight from those of you who have experience with this engine. I have never worked on them but would like to preform the overhaul on it, it would be a great learning experience. The owner would like an estimate of cost to overhaul the motor.
How many labor hours would you estimate would it take to do a full overhaul on this engine not including removal/installation?
What kind of special tooling is required for these engines, estimated cost of tooling?
Things to look for when preforming overhaul, where could I source literature for this motor, and any other information you all think might be helpful would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance and look forward to what you all have to say!
