    I'm not trying. To hurt you in any way. I've rebuilt a few powerstroke turbos and never had a problem. bi shaft play in the turbo I just want to replace the inlet gasket just to make sure I do t have a runaway.

    The impellers are balanced already. You don't have to rebalance them if you take them apart.

    6.9 idi Garrett turbo

    I have no idea I took it off a motor a guy gave me for payment. The exuast hoisting for the down pipe is stamped ATS and the boost side is Garrett. I'm just looking for a new gasket or o ring set for it so take sure it doesn't leak on me befor I put it on my pickup.

    7.3 Heads on a 6.9

    I had a few people tell me 7.3 heads would not work on a 6.9. But the guys on here gave me the part numbers for the 8 longer head bolts and washers to take up the space from 1/2 inch to 7/16. Then I took out the plugs in the water passages for cooling. And the 7.3 heads have stronger...

    7.3 Heads on a 6.9

    Yea I've been looking for longer 7/16 studs for those holes. Can't find any longer though. If you guys know where to find some let me know. Been on arp and everything nobody has longer than 6 inch. It requires a 7 for those 4 holes on each head.

    7.3 Heads on a 6.9

    Have not put them on just yet need to get dowel pins. I was thinking the same thing but at 85 ft lbs. I didn't know if I was gonna need stronger. The ones that came out where grade 8. But now that you have said that I might go a little higher.
