:rolleyes5:Yep, Another engine build.Before christmas I picked up 2- 6.2 or 6.5 engines that were overstock brand new rebuilts for $500 each.!-660and one 599. http://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/showthread.php?t=18716 Finally getting to finishing the 599 engine. It will be going in the 94 k2500HD in my sig unless for some reason the engine in the 94 is good and only has a cracked flexplate or something minor. I haven't tried starting it yet to hear the alleged "rod Knock"
The "599" was set-up for v-belt accessory drive and mechanical fuel injection so a few things will have to be changed to facilitate the serpintine accessory drive and DS4 electronic IP.
First off ,the black color had to go.I sanded the block, heads, Valve covers and oil pan. A couple coats of primer, then 3 coats of my favorite color. The water pump,timing cover and harmonic balancer are being replaced, so I didn't bother painting them.[balancer looked like crap and won't work with DS4 IP anyhow]
I had painted many spare parts with the last build so, this is going quite fast.
Before the paint was fully dry I put a brand new set of my delphi balanced injectors in. Since rebuilders don't put frost plug heaters in,:mad2: I had to put 2 frost plug heaters in.[ I like having a spare and the ability to heat it quick if need be.]:thumbsup:
Next up was the timing cover,crankshaft timing sprocket and new harmonic balancer. Glad I took it apart. The rebuilder didn't use gaskets on the timing cover, only anarobic sealer. I prefer gaskets because I've had the anarobic sealer leak:mad2::mad2:[sucks to take all back apart because of a leak there] The crank sprocket gave a small fight coming off so I had to hook a puller into the roller chain to get it moving. It was just hard enough that it wouldn't pry off. The sprocket had to be changed because the one that was on it didn't have the reluctor for the crankshaft position sensor. The timing cover had to be changed to one with the hole for the crankshaft position sensor.
New front main seal with some grease smeared on it to keep it alive untill engine oil lubes it:thumbsup: Cover back on and new balancer installed with the new bolt that comes with it.
Next up is the IP. Better throw a few pics in first.
