    Thanks. problem is..its not diesel.I have been slowly switching my fleet over to diesel,and now infatuated with them.This motor makes about 530 ft lbs.For what it costs to get it,you can buy a p pumped Cummins truck and make that much power in bout 1/2 hr and still get 20 mpg.Diesel never stops...

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    Thanks for that info.I havent been buying any more engines lately,so I dont know what the military is selling off right now.Occasionally you will get one of the GEP replacement motors,but out of several,I ended up with only 1 of them.Most do have the turbo oil provision,tube ex manifolds,fresh...

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    I was looking at the shipping tags,Maine to Hooks Texas,Texas to N.Carolina and then N.Carolina to Columbus Ohio.The motors got thousands of miles and never out of the crate.Does anyone know if there is a difference at all between 6.2/6.5 blocks?

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    I was told it will be a 1992 or later block if it has the oil provision,and that even though it may carry 6.2 casting #s,could be a 6.5.I do not know how a person could confirm this.I sold a couple with no complaints on lack of power or mechanical problems.I sold a motor to a Hummer nut who...

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    Ouch! At least you came up with an economical way to get her up and running again.Ive got a couple of the hummer motors in a can.Pretty cool container though.Even an o ring seal and a nitrogen purge bung.Mine were rebuilt at the Maine Svc. Depot.1 even has turbo oil provision.

    4BT

    The 4bt chevy flexplate is a 6 hole setup,so you will need a diesel specific t/converter for the 700.Go to 4btswaps and everthing you would ever want to know is there.730 lbs for the 4bt,she is a chunk,and very tall.If you need measurments,drop me a pm,I have one each of the cummins 4,and 6.The...

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    Also,any air bubbles present in the inlet supply will cause timing to adv(drastic) also due to the pressure and volume drop across the advance piston.Block(web) cracking is usually found also with advanced timing,either from to much adv,or air entering the fuel system.sorry to sound like a...

    Another broken crankshaft - I'm gonna cry.

    I noticed you have a DB2 pump.If you cranked the fuel rate up with a #1 dist plate,it altered your timing drastically due to reduced volume and pressure across the adv. piston.Too much adv and the crank takes a beating.Next time you have the cover off where you turned up the fuel,rotate the pump...
