The harness should be fine as long as it’s routed safely and ziptied along the way.I can’t see it being a problem.

Here are some unicoils I found on Amazon.These are Canadian prices.The last picture shows two 5/8 coils but are different prices and brands.

A couple weeks ago I picked up a reman DS4 5521 pump from zagers diesel injection services in Ontario,Canada for my 96 gmc with the 6.2.Very knowledgeable guy who offers great communication.I’m quite happy with the purchase.Free shipping with no core return to worry about and no import fees to...

No problem.Anytime🍻

I posted some pictures for you on the other site too.Unicoils are your best bet.This is how I did it on my previous truck and my current 96.

Hey guys.Just flying home now from western Canada after finishing a busy work schedule so I plan to have pictures of the block,crank,etc on the engine stand very soon.Everything is still strapped upon the pallet. Early Merry Christmas greetings to everyone 🍻

I didn’t notice much difference if any to be honest.You’ll be fine without it.I haven’t had any issues.

Your right war wagon.Definitely quite a few knockoffs going around.I did buy two spin on wix fuel filters from Amazon that came in older wix boxes.They do look genuine but anything is possible.

I just left my trucks with nothing on the firewall.When I had both engines out I just got rid of everything that used to be there.

Thanks twisted steel.I appreciate the reply🍻

I was thinking of buying some Lucas SAE 30 break-in oil from Amazon for both engines.I realize these aren’t flat tappet lifter engines but I’ve read good things about this oil.Have any of you guys used this oil during the break in period?Thanks guys.

Your definitely right Marty.I doubt the surface was treated after the shop did what they had to do.At most it was probably just polished after they machined the journals.I’m happy though I bought rod bolts from Leroy diesel.I don’t see any listed on his website now.They are probably sold out...

I had a little look at the invoice last night when I received everything on the pallet and it appears the crank was machined to accept .010” rod and main bearings so that’s pretty acceptable.Pictures to be uploaded soon.

Morning guys, The block,crank and rods arrived last evening along with some 5.7 diesel parts on a pallet strapped down so I’ll upload pictures in a couple days when I get it mounted on the stand,etc.

Your definitely right Will.The oil will stay cleaner for sure.I have a huge amount of money spent on both engines and I’m sure a lot of you guys are in the same boat as myself.For what it costs I know your right and once it’s assembled there’s no turning back after that.

I was going to send the rings off to total seal to have them machined but just figured what I have is good enough I suppose.I actually have two .030 ring sets for the olds since each ring set was found at a pretty good price so I bought both brands.I did mention sealed power in my last post but...

I’m just using the sealed power piston rings.I’ve used gapless before on my 5.7 diesel with pretty good results.I’m just sticking with a sealed power conventional set on both of my engines. Thanks though for mentioning it.

Hey guys.Pictures should be available in another few days.I’m having a courier van pick up my block,crank etc on Thursday.

Yesterday the machinist called to say the 6.2 bearings arrived so now it’s ready for pickup at the shop.They also installed the new sealed power bushings and arp rod bolts in my 5.7 diesel connecting rods.The big end of the rods were slightly out of round so they lightly honed them to bring them...

I could have probably found something a little cheaper but I just decided to get the clevite product anyway. Nothing worse when someone has hatred against you.I’ve had a few people that’ve shown their true colours towards me.People like that I just stay away from nowadays.
