Hi everybody!
Two days ago I was given a 6.5 diesel with a broken crankshaft for repair. 97 Chevy Suburban. The first time I saw thin bolts on the crankshaft bearing caps. Thin short bolts are on the second, third and fourth main bearing caps. Tell me please, how do I need to tighten them?
Tell me pls, is between valves the cooling jacket in this engine? One of my friend argues that such a crack is not a problem. But I disassembled the engine and saw the dirty oil emulsion. Gaskets were not damage. I think it's because of the crack.
Oh sure. After welding, it must be machined. It's not expensive in Moscow. I can buy a new head only in the US or China. But the shipping cost is very expensive. So I can to bay only the used head or I can to try the head repairs
Thank you Will!
Today I met a guy. He works for a company that makes POWDER WELDING. He proposed to try to make heads repair. I still have 2 heads with cracks. I think I have to try it. And it's not expensive at all!
That is such a good head work. Isn't it?
In Russia, no such repairs do not. Then a few questions.
Where to drill?
Maybe has someone the right template?
What is the size of the holes?
What is the size of the tube?
What is the material of the tube?
My track stalled when I was driving. Replacing the FSD does not start the engine. The engine would not start. 3 days ago I changed set a new fuel filter housing. I tightened the clamps on the fuel hose a little bit stronger, remove bubbles from the filter and then the engine starts.
