I've sure made dumber mistakes...
Cam to crank 180 out. RAN IT FOR OVER A YEAR LIKE THAT. Wondered why every piston skirt melted away from wristpin and I used around 5 gallons of oil a day. Best that dumb one..... Il wait.I've sure made dumber mistakes...

I've seen one guy do that on several 6.2/6.5 Chevys, but they were never run very long. I wasn't too thrilled about it since I was the one who got the "pleasure" of fixing them.Cam to crank 180 out. RAN IT FOR OVER A YEAR LIKE THAT.
I didn't realize that there's enough room to install the engine with the turbo attached. I always removed it before pulling and installed it after the engine was in place. Something else just occurred to me. We all say that we "clearance" the firewall, but in reality, who doesn't enjoy taking a hammer and beating the crap out of something when we're stressed?
Now that makes perfect sense.I prefer to take more time during the install (had to loosen the front cab mounts and tip the cab up less than an inch to line things up) and get the turbo kit installed on the stand where I can be sure everything is air tight and installed perfectly before it’s up against the firewall and you have to stand on your head to reach everything.
