    why you can throw stupid power easily at a cummins and have to work at a IDI......

    I think you totaly missed Towcats point. While I do agree rear mains have nothing to do with performance potential of an engine, Towcat just happend to have both seals around and used it as an example of one of the ways a 6BT is overbuilt for a pickup truck aplication. You can put more power...

    big hp idi

    The limiting point with these engines IMHO is cubic dollars. Hypermax used to offer a inline pump kit for them and as far as I know hypermax is the only company that put serious r&d into making big power out of the 7.3 and 6.9. After head studs if boost is pushed high enough the vally pan will...

    Cetane ratings

    I run my timming fairly high and Man the difrence between california and nevada diesel is noticeable. The diesel in nevada is mostly lower cetain. I find the responses you got a bit odd because last I checked california required a minimum cetain rating of 50. I also find it very odd that...

    How do I fix this major problem I have now, block cracked at cylinder head bolt hole

    To drill the stop hole just make a dimple as deep as the crack. I would go with JB weld if it could hold up on the crank of my integra I beat like a red headed step child it will work just fine there. I don't think it's in a waterjacket and belive other members said it wasn't near one earlyer...

    Trying to identify turbo

    Thats off a early to mid 90s dt466e the exhaust housings on T44Es are a puls setup like a hypermax and as a side note hypermax developed the turbo setup on the early T444Es. I think that's the same wheel as the early strokes but could be way off.

    How do I fix this major problem I have now, block cracked at cylinder head bolt hole

    Honestly if it were mine I would drill stop holes at the end then spacle it with JB weld. I've done some impressive stuf with JB in the past like repair a damaged crank snout a couple days befor diving halway across the country for school and it was still fine 40,000 miles later when the dealer...

    How do I fix this major problem I have now, block cracked at cylinder head bolt hole

    That sucks can you tell if its running into any coolant or oil pasages? If not you might get away with drilling stop holes at each end but really the best bet would be a new block, it would suck to put it all together and have it leak or worse.

    Are you sure the blocks cracked from the picture it almost looks cosmetic but in perons could be worse. Brazing might work but chances are it wont.

    Torque

    The bolts are reuseable if they are not pitted or rusted or streched beyond spec and as said your torque spec was right so unless there was crud in the bottom of the bolt hole and the bolt bottomed out it was just bad luck.

    About HAD it with this air intrusion!!

    Goofy What your decribing sounds exactly like a bad lift pump when the reeds get week they will alow the fule to run back to the tank and it doesn't take much of an airleak to alow this to happen. My truck did the exact same thing a bit after I got back from afghanistan I put a new lift pump in...
