Or get a GEP takeout and be done with it. :cool:

I've had one experience with a Chinese block and it wasn't nice per say. The casting was very soft, when I put some bolts in and removed them, the metal in the block powered away. Would I use one in a pinch, probably, if I wanted some life, probably not. Hopefully yours is different.

Very nice. My bad, I LOL'd at your snow fall, its warm and sunny here, :p

No, $20 to test all 8, it doesn't take more than 5 minutes. Now if the customer want's them shimmed etc, then that's more.

Some charge $5 to test each one then extra to shim them. I'd say adding $20 to test them is fair.

If you have a local shop who you trust, I'd have them checked, cheap piece of mind. I bought a new set for a customer, before putting them in, going to test them.

And $5000 grand will get you injectors. :wacky:

How's your MPG with the tuned pump?

Get a Ted's take out on Ebay. It seems if your current block isn't cracked now, it probably won't crack.

That is true, bigger exhaust move the powerbands up.

Weird, my post disappeared? Badger Diesel aka KR Services on EBay and I think Leroy has nozzles if you want to do your own.

Correct, if the engine has EGR, if not, all bets are off, :D

I bought a 99 Savanah donor for all the parts. Blown motor but new IP, sold that to a customer so the van owes me nothing. :p:penguin::cat::wtf::hungover::android: Sorry for the extra smilies, my daughter did that, :cool:

Crap, I am going serpentine but want to keep my single stat, grrrr.

Engine looks great. :D Why won't the single stat work with a serpentine belt setup? What balancer are you using?

Did you measure drive pressures at all? Kudo's for doing this. What size HX35 did you have on?

No engine needs backpressure, IE diesel or gas and especially turbo engines. Believe it or not, you can go too big, but in this case, it looks like a 4" system and that's fine.

Blood infection and broncitis gone but still fighting that damn cough. Slowly getting my energy back.

Here are some pics of a real nozzle vs the India one.

Yeah, I went 125 ft/lbs on my studs. Sorry to hear, :(
