I got the 6.2 blues

[RNation]

I noticed the second picture of the cylinders does have rust as somebody had mentioned before, is that a big problem or would some lite grit sandpaper and some wd 40 fix that?

Actually I didn't have an oil mess, I've had messes doing that on SBC though.

Yeah That's what gave me the thought. I had special Valve covers I cut open to use for that to adjust the valves.

I would not buy n engine I could not personally inspect. 6.2's are easy to come by cheap anyway.

If that is truly the pics of that engine, then I would buy it, but still inspect the bearings, you only have time and no money to dish out.

He seems like an honest guy, but you know how far that goes these days. He said he'd through in the oil pan and some old 6.5 heads for an extra 100. But he doesn't what kind of condition the 6.5 heads are in. He said he was rebuilding his 6.5 and took the heads off this 6.2 motor to put on his. But I'm not sure if you can put 6.5 heads on a 6.2 without boring anything out.

As far as the original problem/motor, I think i'll replace it with this newer one and keep it on the side line. Probably take it apart and have it all checked out eventually just for piece of mind.

6.5 heads should bolt right on to the engine but injectors may not fit, your injectors have fine or coarse threads.

Kenny is there enough room on this body to do a 6.35 install ?? (slang for 6.2 bottom with 6.5 upper parts)

This is the IP and lines he was trying to sell me too, I'm not sure if you can tell by the picture if their course or fine thread.

 

[RNation]

Unless the threads that screw into the heads are different than the threads the injector lines screw into.

 

[ak diesel driver]

the fine coarse thread issue is the threads into the heads. ds4 ip lines won't work with db2. threads are diff on the ips

 

[turbovanman]

Unless the threads that screw into the heads are different than the threads the injector lines screw into.

The lines are angled differently too, but some say you can just bend them to fit.

 

[Turbine Doc]

Correct injector into head fitment was my question coarse vs fine

 

[RNation]

I might just go with some newer 6.2 heads so there's no extra issues.

I'm going to have it freighted to my house in a week and a half. So should the motor mounts from my Suburban work with this motor, even though the vehicle it came out of is unknown so far? I thought there would be a VIN number on the motor some where that would identify the vehicle it came out of.

Should I stop this thread since the topic has kind of changed or is it ok to keep posting my questions in this one?

 

[turbovanman]

Why would the mounts be different? All 6.2's and 6.5's are externally identical, except some 6.5's use metric fastening hardware.

Lets redo as a separate thread as it's a good discussion to be having and searching for it later is hindered if buried as a sidebar discussion within a different discussion heading.
