Ya i got brand new optima red tops so plenty of cranking power. Remember reading on here a while back to slide the cover on from front to back so i made sure i did that. I pry cranked on it for 7 or 8 times for around 30 sec letting it cool alittle inbetween each. Finnally eneded up calling a...
Well fellas i know its been a while since ive posted on here. This swap has taken alot longer than i thought given the time that i have to work on it. Well to give a recap from the last year I found out that my 6.2 heads and different injector theads than the 6.5 injectors. When i tried to use...
ive got some .01 hg to run my 6.2 that im in the process of swapping on a 6.5 turbo. the block has already been decked but these will hopefully help bring the ratio back down alittle
ill have to pick one up
havent got to work on it in a couple weeks, been busy with school and farmin now that the weather is nice out, hope to get atleast the heads unbolted and the new 6.5 head gaskets in and head studs.
So far my buddy and i have pulled the injector lines off, valve covers, and have started takin the head bolts out of the drivers side. Need to finish unbolting the exhaust and remove the exhaust headers before i completely undo the heads. Pulled the bottom head bolts out and i guess i didnt...
:All my felpro gaskets finally came in the mail. Got the injector lines and valve covers pulled the other night. Now waiting for another evening to remove the injectors and unblot the heads to put in the new headgaskets and ARP studs.
All the injectors i sent off to get pop tested were bad...
I havent reffered anything to a cummins, yes i do drive one and know alot about em but im on this forum cause i wanna learn more about my 6.2. Im not comparing them by anymeans. Did you not read the test that guy did? The CDR wasnt creating much of a vacuum anyways unless under a heavy load.
I didnt really find any information saying that it was useful. Basically that is for emissions control. so currently im leaning towards a road tube, if a seal cant hold back the oil without a vacuum then it needs replaced anyways.
Not sure what im gonna do about the CDR yet, ive done some searchin around on the net and have found some people have just ran a draft tube down and everything has worked fine. Others havent had such good luck, going to have to do some more lookin around a pondering in my head.
Parts up-date:
Order from summit racing last night-
Flepro Head Gaskets for a 93' 6.5
Flepro intake gaskets
Felpro Valve Cover Gaskets
Injector washers
ARP Head Studs
ARP lube
Also purchased Dipricol gauges off cummins forum
Boost, Pyro, and Fuel Press.
So the turbo its self is alright? thats the main thing im worried about. Theres is very minimal side to side shaft play and none in and out.
Now that were on the CDR subject. Is it required for the engine to operate?
The CDR on th 6.2 has 2 hoses running into the intake manifold.
The...
Heres some pics i snapped today while i was taking off all the manifolds and turbo.
