Looks like a nice rig🍻

Badger diesel is good as well.Although the last time I inquired he would not ship a set of balanced Bosch injectors to Canada when I asked him a couple years ago.Maybe now he will ship those to Canada but I didn’t bother afterwards.He also sells long body 6.2 Bosch injectors with denso nozzles...

I was thinking of just reusing the chrome oil valve covers I have.I bought them back in 2006 from eBay.They are still in good shape but need to cleaned up before I reuse them.When I first got them they have the off Center holes in them for a pcv valve so I just put chrome oil fill covers in...

Looks outstanding twisted steel👍

Did you helicoil the stripped threads,leave it or just go with an oversize bolt and redrill the top plenum?I remember reading a post online where a guy double nut a stud on a 6.2 in that location and the double nut loosened up and destroyed one of the pistons,etc.

I’ll definitely ask him about doing that.🍻 It should be a great little engine once it’s assembled.I plan to paint it Chevy red with some duplicolor engine enamel to resemble the 1982 engines.I have a few cans of the alpine green by duplicolor but I think I’ll use the green on my 5.7 diesel when...

I spoke with the machinist doing the work on my 87 6.2 last week and he reported no cracks in the webs or anyplace else.I must have a pretty decent casting to have it survive 400K with zero cracks.Anyway they’ve done the align hone with arp main studs in place.They just need to bore the block...

Absolutely beautiful job on painting the dash.I need to do the same with mine.My dash is also beige.Hats off to you🍻

You are definitely correct👍 I see genuine ford lifters are selling on eBay for about $300 for just 8.

I appreciate your responses guys.Thank you

Hey guys.Any opinions or experiences using the enginetech brand roller lifters in the 6.2 or 6.5?I was going to use such a brand in my 6.2 rebuild.Thank you.

I’ve never tried the power master starter but I hear they are really good.I’ve bought the aftermarket gear reduction starters on eBay for my 6.2/6.5 engines which have always proven to be good.Both my trucks also use new acdelco battery cables which I’m pretty happy with. Your right about the...

Your right about Napa prices.They are definitely much more expensive than anyplace else.I have four tie rods and pitman arm which are fleet line on the way for my 96 gmc.One of my tie rods right now won’t accept any grease and the same goes for the new pitman arm I just put on.The pitman arm is...

Fleet line by Napa is much better quality.It costs much more but it’s definitely worth it.

Definitely can’t beat the arp starter bolts.My 5.7 olds diesel would always break the outer bolt due to vibration,etc but after switching to arp maybe 18yrs ago I never had a starter bolt break since.

Those drums are much,much easier to remove than the 2011-2015 gmc 4500 cutaway vans I’ve worked on.The side axle has to come out first with nut,keyway,etc and then the hub is attached to the drum because of the axle studs through the drum and into the hub.

Yeah nothing worse than a tailgater.Wherever I go there’s always someone riding my tail.

You need to watch out for the skp brand as well.Sometimes that doesn’t work out either.Skp control arms might be okay but I’ve never used them. I’ve had slight problems with a idler pulley on my Pontiac Montana van as it wouldnt fit properly unless I came up with a plan to make it fit as...

I’ve just used the torch and cut the cross out altogether.The cups always came out pretty easy after that.

A couple days ago I changed the oil and filter on my 96 gmc with the 6.2.I used the T6 5W40 with Napa platinum filter.I ordered some rotella T6 15W40 synthetic from Amazon to have when the warmer weather comes by again later on as I can’t get the 15W40 where I am but 5W40 is readily...
