Nope, didn't say that. MY OPINION IS, it isn't going to prevent mainweb cracking. Nothing I said was intended to be offensive. :thumbsup:

I think Leroy's powdered parts would look SMOKIN hot on my yellow block!! ):h Everything looks top notch there Leroy, nicely done! :thumbsup:

Ok, call me before the end of the week. If the weather is decent, I may go flying in the am on saturday, -I'll be sure to buzz ya. ):h Don't worry, I'll come lend a hand! Give me a call and we'll hash it out. :thumbsup:

Well, there's a big difference. The billet caps are ROBUST in comparison to most of the poor excuses we see for stud girdles. The billet caps work just fine. The real deal here is YIELD strength, -and the billet steel caps are well up to the task of providing that. Now, like GJF stated, on...

Don't worry man, you don't have to walk on eggshells with me, -I'm a big boy and can take it. ):h I am merely stating my opinion based on countless other opinions from experienced engine builders, -myself being one of them. The biggest "issue" is the dissimilar materials having totally...

Geez, you sure have some nice friends, -giving you crankshafts and all. :D I'm more curious as to the condition of the motor that's in the truck. Call me when it's autopsy time. ;)

I'm sure I'll take a beating for saying this, -but most steel stud girdles are a waste of time. Steel is soft and elastic, -cast iron, -not so much. By the time the steel has any opportunity to take any load, the cast iron is already broke. In order for the piece to truly do any good, it...

Leroy, that looks incredible!! Like the others, I'm really liking those valve covers, those things turned out NICE!!

You mean like this :fing26: !!! ROFL!!! Holy crap, -now that right there is funny, -YES LIKE THAT!!! I forgot we had that one!! Nice!!! :D

My thoughts exactly. They may as well have given all the DS4 guys the BIG middle finger.

I say screw 'em, -the ding-a-lings should have addressed this years ago. As far as Dipaco hurting them, -GOOD. If I was in the market for a new PMD, I'd give my business to Dipaco, -they saw a problem that needed addressed, -and addressed it with a better product that is COMPETITIVELY priced...

I feel like we're jackin' the thread here, -sorry guys. Don't get in a hurry, -you still got the stang to drive, right? If and when you need any help, feel free to PM me. All the best man, good to hear from ya. I love the 6.5 community, there ain't a tighter bunch of guys anywhere...

Things aren't going too bad in mechanical-land. Personal-land is a little different story, but that's not for the forum. My 19:1 engine runs like a scalded cat, -no issues to speak of, -all is well. I have over 10,000 miles on it so far, -not a single problem to speak of with the DB2 IP...

I don't disagree with anything that's been said. Here is my humble opinion on the initial change intervals though. Being the thing is a roller motor, it shouldn't make a whole lot of metal (assuming the clearances aren't too tight). The filter mag, -a great idea, -do I run one? -no. On my...

I don't disagree with ya, -I guess it's all in moderation. The really trick high mpg big power stuff wouldn't be possible without computers, -but it gets to a point where it is overwhelming, -and does not permit anyone to fix or repair anything. If it breaks, you're screwed unless you got a...

Nick, I must say it is SOOO nice to be on a forum where the admin has a sense of humor. Priceless man, -just priceless. Thank You! :thumbsup:

And I sincerely apologize, I should have chosen my words more carefully. I didn't mean to stereotype all younger-generation guys as being mechanically challenged. I know of many younger generation guys who have come to appreciate where all this stuff started, and want to learn how it works. I...

Sorry for leading this thread in a direction it wasn't intended, BUT, -as long as we're off the beaten path talking about old school versus new school..... I thought it was funny when a kid running a newer PSD followed me into the 7-11 parking lot to compliment me on the sound of my truck...

My, what expensive injectors you have! (kidding of course). You know, the more advanced and complicated stuff gets, the more I appreciate our "old and outdated" stuff. Big power numbers aside, -inexpensive gets it done, -regularly if you know how to spin a wrench. Anyone else with me...

Hey bison, -long time no talkie. I see your exhaust manifold was made by the dayshift crew, -that's all that matters man, -you've got it made, no worries! ):h As always, your setups are very pracitcal, I am one who can appreciate that.
