    oil drain back

    ironically enough Gary, I was lurking here for the fun of it and thought I'd look into the last time I posted anything, and this popped up first. After That Damn Truck burned me out, I found new family friendly hobbies other than pulling my motor and transmission 4 times a year. Solomon is...

    HE351VE Remote Mount Turbo

    I lurk every now and then. I like following a guy's project who's doing something different from the norm. I ended up buying an air filter from a small cabover truck and bolting it down in the bed. It worked very well, but was a major PITA to clean up any time I filled the bed with mulch...

    HE351VE Remote Mount Turbo

    When I first built my system, I stubbed the intake pipe up into the front corner of the bed and since I didn't have a good system to keep it out of the weather right away, I put a plastic bag over it and tied it tight. when I drove it home, I forgot about the bag. You want to talk about black...

    Ceramic coated pistons

    digging deep deep deep into forced memory loss now. I tore it down and rebuilt it but was given the wrong piston bore tolerance which caused all 8 to scuff, Ken rebuilt it, I pulled it back down after I blew the head gaskets. Now that I see those pics, I think the crank was blue when I put it...

    Rear main seal replacement time

    Sounds so easy, Heath. You forgot to mention the contortion positions, hitting your head, cramps in you neck, working blind, crap fallling in your eyes. . .

    Can i do this?

    You already have a turbo that'll make 25 psi all day--probably should pay for it first, though.

    Picked up a NICE ONE today Boys!,..

    I love these posts Darrin. I like to count how many replies it takes before someone questions who on earth would pay that much for an old truck.

    funny sound behind me

    Usually a funny sound behind me is followed by a bad smell. Happens all the time, but Amy doesn't think it's very funny.

    who needs sleeves in a 7.3

    If it turns out that you are tinkering with a 6.9, I happen to have lots of good stuff for your untinkerin'. Studs and studs, ported polished heads, etc. . .Make you a deal but you have to take the whole motor.

    Sup' Fellas? I am the new guy

    Welcome. It seem that the 2 most favored brands are FelPro and Victor Reinz. Both get high marks. Good luck on the swap this weekend. I'll be in Cleveland too, but we're loading up the bikes and heading to Ray's indoor bike facility.

    Can a blow head gasket introduce oil into coolant system?

    I wouldn't assume that a head gasket is the cause of your oil in coolant situation. There isn't oil pressure in the locations where oil and coolant can get together in the head. Have you drained the oil and seen if there's coolant in the oil?
