Because he has a cranial-rectum problem! My response for his slam to me on my engine failure!

Seems a little strange, again, that the rods, pistons, camshaft, lifters, and gasket kit isn't here yet when I was told they would be shipped by Tuesday, last week! So over at the shop today and was checking out the heads before they went on the 6.2 engine. Seems the valve keepers were a little...

Make sure you check the bearing very close!

King bearing are very good. I believe they sponser a Nascar racer but I'm not sure. What King says about their bearing is they have "Extreme imbedability". (Not sure of the spelling) They are a softer bearing, just not made for the high compression of diesel engines, my engine was 20:1...

I really had no reason to take the engine apart when I got it. The time and very intricate work done in this engine assembly was perfect, or so I thought. But when it broke I, and the others in the shop, saw the intricate work!

When I got then engine, and the weather finally got good enough to install it, I hadn't even thought of a need to tear it apart. I just wanted it in the truck and to be able to drive it again. But first fix I had to fix the rear main seal, which wasn't the problem! I found out about the 2...

13. When taking the engine apart I noticed the King bearing used on the main caps and Clevite bearing being on the engine block side. I guess there was a shortage of bearings from both companies!

12. The day I got my engine running I found out there was an oil leak. It looked as if it was from the rear main seal. Great! Put the truck on the lift and took the front diff out, removed the oil pan, installed a new seal, and put the whole thing back together. Now my engine looks like it has...

That is correct. I called the builder when the engine broke. Over the phone he could hear the rod knocking, he said he would get a new Scat crank. Which he did, I got it last month! And I now have an engine block, crank, flywheel, heads, but 'no' rods, pistons, camshaft, lifters, gaskets, or...

Sure! Check out the build. Some one on here could probably send you the link.

King bearings are a great engine bearing except for an engine with extreme compression. Many many 62/65 engines have been lost with the use of King bearings.

11. Continous phone call to the engine builder east of here, say about 7-11 calls a day. A few times I did get to talk to someone there and then I was usually lied to. But I am not useing any names. But I will say the engine build was in MaxxTorque Magazine, the one with a Hummer on the...

10. Less that 24 months and 24,000 miles the engine broke. At an idle on the freeway. A lifter fell apart on #3 intake, the camshaft had a big notch in it, and #7 connecting rod went away. All that money and all that time that was put in that engine and the builder used KING bearings. About...

9. Installed a 32 gallon water tank I was using one gallon of water to one gallon of diesel. Installed a 23 gallon propane tank. The propane use was about .4 gallon of propane to one gallon of diesel.

8. Tried the nitrous once. As the engine came up on power and just as it shifted to second gear I hit the switch and when it shifted the 265/19.5 duals went up in smoke.

7. After the stock injectors were installed the engine seemed to feel flat. I wasn't getting all that fuel. With the A Team Turbo on it and those burnt injectors it would really haul ass. It would throw out black smoke at first then once the boost came up it would take off. But with the stock...

6. Trip over to Ellensburg and a new set of stock injectors was installed. then the Water Mist was set to come on at the right amount of boost. The propane system was set to the manufacture and it was set correct also. Checked out the nitrous system. Good thing I never tried it, there was no...

5. Pickup up the pickup the day before the dyno run. The AirDog was installed in such a way that when I left my mileage was about 3 miles per gallon. Had a major leak in the fuel lines. Of course no dyno was performed.

4. Along with those above items was the larger A Team Turbo. With out the water mist, propane, and nitrous that engine really came to life and pulled real strong with the A team turbo. Then the propane was installed and the bottle was set at the wrong angle. When I turned the switch on a much...

3. Everything was to be done at one time. The Water Mist, Propane, and Nitros. Along with an AirDog and the 'Feed the Beast' fuel lines. Now the problems started. The engine builder knew I was adding all these items and really wanted to know just how much horsepower their engine would or could...
