Welp, the guy I bought the 2000 K3500 from WAS in the process of rebuilding a 6.5 until.
I dont know the history on this engine.

Just rub a little bondo in there. I’m sure it’ll be fine.
Nomination for @3bals for this year.
Goodness, gracious 3bals RV a-fire!
Breaking sad news. Just received a message from Jody @3bals as to why he didn't make it into Lincoln yesterday evening on he and his wife's vacation. At MM74 on I-80 in Iowa yesterday afternoon there was a fire in the engine compartment of his P-30 chassis-based motorhome that quickly spread...

Yeah. A sad ending for that motor home.

And the k5. Dang man. Hope he gets a ton from insurance, and hope someone can rescue that p400.
Lets see, Iowa is like 24 hours drive time from here...

Yeah, there's a ton of work and $$$ wrapped up in that P400, not to mention the Road Ripper XHD 4L80E behind it.
I'd be interested in the motor if it can be removed by itself and leave the rest.

There was a load of stuff done to that P400, iirc, from the build thread Jody did a few years back when the GM 6.5 barfed that rocker mount and it died here in Lincoln and he had AAA tow it back to the Twin Cities. You should probably PM @3bals directly, instead of hoping he sees the comment on here @Twisted Steel Performance .
Ok, here's the deal. I still have access to the P-400 powered motorhome. It is sitting in the insurance yard in Des Moines, IA. They want it gone. I tried to find someplace in the area to remove the engine/tranny and such. No luck! Either they didn't respond to my request or the wanted too much $$. So now I'm looking for some place local to do the work if I have it towed here. Or If somebody on here would like it, you can have someplace to tow and do the work, let me know. I'll need to know by Monday 12/20/21, so I can let the insurance company know.

Crap, its only 685 miles from my brothers in New Salem Ohio. Be nice to be able to drive over to his place then head on over from there.
Have to find a place to dismantle after getting there though.
What am I thinking, I cant afford to get to Ohio let alone the rest of the way to Des Moines.

Umm school me here, I’m confused how cracks between valves caused compression leaking into coolant..?
Husker6.5

Because there is a coolant passage between the valve openings in the head to help keep the seat area between the valves cool. When the head cracks between the valves, it cracks into that coolant passage. Thus when running, the compression leaks into the cooling system because compression presure is well past 400psi while cooling system pressure is 15psi. After shutdown, the hot, pressurized coolant seeps through the cracks and into those depressurized cylinders and gives you the white, billowing, acrid-sweet smelling clouds out the tailpipe at cold start up that screams "blown head gasket or cracked heads".

Well, two options. New heads or the brass tube inserts into the coolant passages. Assuming the heads aren't too warped.
