New user needs 4D55 rebuild advise.

New to this forum, the other one I'm on has not been helpful at all. I have a 4D55T with 180 psi in cylinders 1 and 2, and 300 psi in cylinders 3 and 4. So, looks like I'm in need of a rebuild. I'm sure this question has been asked before, so if there is an existing thread that describes what I need, then please direct. From what I can tell, the Chinese re-build kits are not good, and there may be a shortage of parts necessary. If someone could please get me a parts list and sources, I would be eternally grateful. Thanks

Well we do have some links to places that can help you get parts in the link section.

Are you sure the valves aren't just tight of there is a head problem? But as far as a list of parts I don't think anyone has done that yet.

check your valve lash and do a leak down test. that will give you the info you need. may be a bad head gasket blowing between 1 and 2.

I've got oil shooting out the dipstick from leakage into the crankcase too.
