For some reason, I'm not getting any email notification from TTS on the threads I'm subscribed to. Anyway, great work Nate! Your making fast progress, and I can't believe the amount of coolant your engine was getting in it! :eek: I'm happy to say, that with the mega black on my threads, and the...

Thanks for the advice on how to help keep my rotors from warping WarWagon. I agree, changing out the 4x4 rotors is a pain in the rear, so I hope they last awhile. I thank the Lord every day for the climate I live in. :) I have several friends who live in the rust belt, and I hate working on...

Agreed. I have a 141 block in my shop that has a couple cracks, and I wouldn't mind trying these out on it. :) Matt

I know your building a new engine now, but your the one always bragging about running all over creation in your 6.2 with lots of cracks at high boost, and these would worry you. :D Matt

I'll keep an eye on them TVM, and if they do eventually crack, no big deal for $80 a pair. Just cheap replacement rotors at the auto parts cost more than these. Pads I used were semi metallic. Link here...

Actually it makes sense TVM. Did you ever visit the site, and read up on them. They have an angles thread pitch, so that as they're tightened, they actually pull the material around them (your block) in tighter around them. I remember reading a post by Missy stating that as you tightened these...

Thanks for the info, and that was a great idea using an old main cap as a guide. Good Stuff.:) Matt

Very nice work! Are they difficult to install. Could you elaborate some on whats involved? Thanks Matt

You bet. Once I've made a couple long trips with a trailer, I'll pull the wheels back off, and have a look at them. Now if they warp, they'll be no need to remove the wheels. :D I'll let you know. Matt

Don't use the Ebay fitment chart. Scroll down the page, and click on the fitment chart that the actual site has. They tell you that the Ebay chart is wrong. That link is for the 8 lug 2500/3500 single rear wheel trucks, and burbs. Matt

I've known for awhile that I was going to need to do front brakes, as the pads were getting thin. My front rotor were cupped (looked the last owner had just slapped pads on without turning the rotor, maybe a couple times), which I've been known to do on occasion, especially on the "pain in the...

Looks great Leroy! However, when throwing other parts on quick for a photo shoot, you could at least put the valve covers on the side the go on. :D I love the red P400.:eek: Matt

I've read a fair amount on them, and I have to say, they look like a quality product. :) I say go for it, somebody's got to be the guinea pig. :D Matt

Now thats a whole lot of Cadillac! The very definition of Lead Sled, although I'm sure its a little lighter, seeing as its missing 500 cu. inches of American muscle under the hood. :D Matt

I just realized this is a 4 year old thread. So WarWagon, how have those those total seal rings been holding up? Matt

Nothing like pics of shiny new high quality parts! :) So Nate, whats the plan on the precups? I assume your Optimizer came with NA cups, so are you swapping over the diamonds you just put in your other 6.5? Matt

I see that piston has become your avatar. :D Bummer about the block. I often wounder how many crack free 6.5 blocks are even around any more. Thats excluding the Optimizers of course. Matt

Very nice Nate! So what color are you going with for your paint? Matt

Nice work Leroy, and looking good! However, I do need to say that this oring idea wasn't mine. It was the turbonator brothers. Looking forward to the next video, and really hoping I can make it up that way to have a closer look. :) Matt

I know its a tedious process, but it will be very rewarding. :) Keep up the great work Nate. Matt
