I blew a head gasket today cresting Parley's Summit. I was pushing it waaay to hard for stock head bolts and my luck finally gave out. Glad it happened today and not on a trip with the whole family.
I already have a set of 6.9l ARP head studs and a VR headset. The motor will need to come out to torque the studs right anyways, so I am wanting to look at my options for going through the bottom end while its out.
Called a good friend that was a Diesel tech before he bought a small trucking company to ask where to find a good machine shop around here. Then I realized that I don't know what to ask the machine shop when I call.
I know I want new rings, bearings and the rotating assembly balanced... beyond that
Any advice or recommendations on how to speak machineshopanese? Don't wanna sound like a total rube. TIA
