I almost hate that I have to ask this, but does anyone here have experience with the Chinese 6.5 blocks sold on Alibaba? I am having zero luck finding a known good used 6.2 or 6.5 block. No one who has one to sell is willing to pull the pan and main caps to look. I refuse to pay $4500+ for an...
Has anyone ever had a set of forged pistons made for a 6.2 or 6.5? I'm going to call Ross later today to see if it is something they would do. Just wondering if it's already been done by someone else.
If anybody has a truly junk 6.2-5 (like just hasn't been scrapped yet), I would be grateful if someone could do an experiment on it for me. PM me if you would be willing to help me out.
Thanks in advance!
Say a prayer for her fellas. Everything looks great so far. Need to get the crank out to really look at the webbing. Hopefully cleaning up the decks and a light hone in the cylinders. If the block is good, HV oil pump, studs, heads and 18:1 pistons (ceramic coated).
Just got my Massey Harris 44 cam back from Blackburn's Performance Shop. Fresh new grind will add .072"int and .076"ex lift (.550" & .560" at the valves) Haven't got the cam card yet, but should be 15-20deg more duration than my current grind.
Has anybody here installed a fuel sump in a gmt400? Which one did you use, where did you drill, and did it ever leak? As soon as my s10 is back on the road I'm going to do one, as I have 1/2" line from before the Airdog to right before the ip.
So I went to pull out this morning after 8" of snow last night. 4wd would not engage- actuator is 3yrs old. Had to take the wife's car to work.
I'm not playing with another prone-to-fail piece of junk, going to a Posi-lok. My brake controller is mounted where they show the engagement button to...
Thought I'd share a few pics of my build. I've been working on the truck for 5 years now. First I got it driving right, then running right, and I'm finally getting it looking right!!
It's been a long time since I've posted anything here, but keeping up with everyone's successes, failures, and experiments keeps my 6.5 addiction alive and well. You guys are way beyond my skill level and understanding with this platform, but I figured I share some pics from my build and the...
After asking n8in8or about his fuel system the other day, I realized that I never updated my post from mid 2017 where I was asking turbo questions.
I got the truck together later that year and got to shake it down before winter (when it got parked). Over the winter, I had a real Holset 56mm...
Hello Everyone! I'm new to TTS but I've been over at TDP for a while. I added some new questions to an older post of mine over there but didn't get any bites. I'm thinking the people who can help me probably didn't see it, or they know that I'm beyond help! Here goes: I just bought a hx40wII...
