You'd have figured it out when the diesel started to pour out of those holes. I was just trying to save you from a mess.I absolutely would have forgot to do that

I hope you got some pics of the jig and it's use, and the results.I appreciate him trying to help , but ya it did make things a bit more challenging. Tomorrow I am going to try the jig route. I have some easy outs I can use if I can get a hole drilled in it. He said it was just about torqued then snapped. Worst case I guess I will have to pull the crank and either set it up on the drill press or swap cranks. I'm pretty sure the one in the original engine is good. As long as everything else is legit , and it appears to be so far , I am super happy. I will get it on the stand and take more pictures tomorrow. Here is one from his ad.

The guy I bought it from rebuilt it for a project , then changed direction with the project. One small issue... He broke a flywheel bolt off in the rear of the crank. It is flush, nothing to grab. He tried to remove it before I got there by cutting a slit in it , which unfortunately made it worse.
Ya , I'm not sure what I'm going to do at this point. I am low on funds and extremely behind on getting this truck finished. So if I can get these issues resolved without tearing in to it , the bearings end up looking good , and it sounds good when I test fire it I will probably just toss it in and send it.
I'm sorry to hear and see your troubles. I hope at least there are some usable parts to do an acceptable rebuild. In my experience, it's best to say away from rebuilds from unknown sources. Some of the things I've seen through the years are pretty scary.
