    Yes the water issue has been figured out. It never got into the oil that we can tell. The oil is not milky. Hopefully the black permatex will do the trick.

    Mine is a 95. The gmtd is what were using. We will attempt to get the timing in the 3.5 range before doing a time set or set the tdco.

    The compression is currently all within 10psi of 400. The heads are p400 heads that I got from chris. I had them checked out after the compression issue the first time and they were good. No bent valves. The water leaking is internal. Nothing leaking on the outside. After reading WW's...

    It's been a while. My son is back in town working on the engine. We decided to forego the gapless rings for stock rings. I did talk to the local machine shop who does most of the 6.5's. They are also a race shop. The guy said that they do lots of gapless rings and every once in a while they have...

    Is this a normal knock

    Not really. Like I said, I'm used to driving a newer quiet diesel. What made me think is a guy who also drives a newer diesel said it sounds like it has a knock. I thought it sounded normal but I started second guessing myself. Anyone else want to post your sound for comparison?

    Is this a normal knock

    I haven't driven the suburban in a month or so and I started it up and I'm not sure if the noise is normal or not. My other newer diesel is quiet so I'm not sure if I'm hearing something or not. I have 2 videos. One from the the top and one from the passenger side in the wheel well.

    I built it myself. I wasn't aware of the powder. I will ask them about it.

    My son put one of the other Inj pumps we had in and it fixed the stuttering and smoking. He got it right at -1.93 right off the bat. no adjusted needed. How lucky can you get. Now I just need to turn down my turbo master. I keep getting a p0236. Other than that it's running better than ever (at...

    No. I didn't receive any powder with them. That wouldn't cause the discrepancy with the compression on each bank would it?

    Just installed them. The machine shop gapped them when they resleeved the block and balanced everything. When my son pulled the pistons on Friday he checked the gapping of the rings and they were all within spec.

    My son started pulling the IP and found one of the sensors came off the IP. Can we just reconnect? One screw is there. I have an old ip that I can scavenge from.

    Stalling / Smoke

    After reconnecting everything and topping off the coolant, it is still smoking. When we started it with no belt there was a puff of smoke and then it cleared up. So with the belt on it smokes and stutters. I think we'll take the belt off and run it a little longer to see if it smokes. It has new...

    That's how I think I put them on. My son took the pistons out and I had him take them to the machine shop to make sure the rings were on correctly and that there were no visible issues.

    I know. Especially since it has over 300k on it.

    Put on a new Pulley and started it for 10 seconds with nothing connected and no smoke. That must have been it.
