    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Thats what I was saying, ive reached down there, it'll be difficult to get a rachet in there, was very tight when I tried 454 country bro: dude you'll be fine, you worry about this thing too much, many 6.2s dont have those starter bbrackets and theyre fine, they dont have any reinforced oil...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Its like 45-60°F in the mornings here, can't possibly be THAT cold? Id love to plug it in. Unfortunately, I got in trouble for doing so last winter when it was -15°F "ran a cable from my window"

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Nope, its only when its cold Granted, its been very warm here this past week (+85°F), if it does smoke, its very little and dissipates fairly quickly, I guarantee when winter comes (it gets down to -20°F) it'll start to smoke like a damn chimney. Also. Reminder that when I bought this 1990 K5...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    Im content with that, well aware that unless I quite literally teardown and rebuild from ground up, it won't be "like new" (as new as it can be that is) As long as it putters along though, im happy with it, sure it'll have its quirks, but, as long as it runs well (as well as a 40 year old motor...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    My friend has a diesel compression tester (454 burban bro) Ill see if he's down for said tests. Dear Lord id hate to even do a timing on that, he's good, but he's not that good, even then, he's a gasser tech, not a diesel one. Only reason he even knows my motor like that is due to the fact that...

    How do you all get 6.2s to 300K miles

    I am keeping this vehicle for the long run. Im aware of how much new vehicles cost (not including insurance, etc). Therefore ill do anything MX wise to ensure it keeps on going. Ideally, I would love to teardown and rebuild, but that won't happen for a very long time. Until then, ill do the...
