    Oil squirters

    Hey buddy thanks for the suggestions. After doing much more extensive research I found out that it was 100% a 83' 6.9L. All you guys were correct. It was the only year that they did the press in oil squirters. I was going off what I had been told from the guy who sold it to me, plus the fact...

    Thank you!! That's actually who I'm going to source the majority of my parts from for the rebuild.

    100% it has ½" head bolts instead of 7/16", it house the round cooling ports at the corners of the cylinder deck, ect.

    Oil squirters

    I'm rebuilding my 92' 7.3 idi, and putting a turbo on it. The oil squirters that are in it look like the press in type, not the bolt on. But I've been told that the only ones that had the press in type were the early 6.9L from like 84' and the rest have the bolt on type. The only replacements I...

    Exactly. I'm sure that definitely happens but I think it's been blown a little out of proportion.

    No, but you kind of answered you own question in your last paragraph. For every person I've had talk about how the 7.3's cavitate, I've had 10 tell me how they've never had an issue. So idk, we'll see i guess.

    Thanks for the info. But you definitely don't have to worry about going .010" or .020 over. The person I was replying to was trying to act like any kind of boring on the cylinder wall was dangerous.

    I figured it would probably after the first of the year. Hopefully I'll hear back from him and I can get at least rings if not rings, pistons, and rods. I'm still thinking about going with a cam from him. That what the only thing that had wear on it was the cam and the rollers.

    I sent him an email last week actually and haven't heard anything back yet. Oh and I can get a wastegate delete with a 3" hoodstack or downpipe with that turbo kit for just another $350.

    Mine isn't factory turboed. Plus I thought that none of the idi's came with a turbo from the "factory". I thought it was a special order thing that the dealers had some 3rd party put on.

    Yeah, I can go without them for a couple months. Im trying to get it back together as quick as possible, but my main focus is doing everything right. I want this to last me a long time. That's another thing I've been trying to figure out, should I get these heads redone or buy new ones. I'll...

    What's your opinion on a v-banded intake manifold? Think it's worth the money?

    And I can get a 110cc pump from CDD for just $100 more than a 90cc pump. I think that's what I'm going to get. You have any suggestions for intercoolers?
