I can't remember about the Factory Turbo engines, but the black ones are OEM for the N/A engines. The silver ones are aftermarket.

So, my turbo engine may have been tampered with.

If you are getting rid of your turbo setup, let me know. I'm not that far.

I am, i actually got 2 turbo kits for sale. I haven't posted them on market place yet but I mentioned I was going to sell them on the "what did you do with your truck today" thread. I've got a hit on the factory set up, if he doesn't move on it soon ilL let you know. But I have an aftermarket kit too that's available. PM me if you're interested in it.

Post them in the marketplace with the details I may be interested in something

If no one moves on them in the next day or so, I'll let you know. And after I offer them to you at a "deal" then I'll put them on market place at "fair market value". I sure could use some big rear view mirrors......

Sounds good, I’ll make it easy, if one of them is an ATS093 I may be interested in that. I don’t even need the turbo, oil feed lines etc. just the hot side pipes and drain pedestal. Goodluck with your sale though.

I pulled the pistons out of the cavitated block. I was always second guessing if it was cavitation or the head gasket, definitely cavitation. There's a 3" long visible crack down the top of the cylinder. I drove it for about a month like that, water in the oil, oil in the water and water out the exhaust. Blue devil just couldn't fix it. That's was 2ish years ago, and I just opened it up for the first time. All the pistons and crank were stuck like the old tractors I mess with. I'd sleeve #7 and #8 and do 500K with this block!

That's not cavitation. It's questionable on if it could be sleeved with that big of a crack. I'd have a machine shop make that call.

It may have started as cavitation and then I just kept driving it. I didn't know anything about it back then. It was well before I knew anything about oil burners.

It would come down to: can you find a machinest that will work for you?
Answer for you: no problem.
Answer for me: the machinest probably wouldn't return my call and Everytime I stopped by the shop he'd be busy or they'd be closed and eventually I'd just have to buy a thingamajig and do it myself, and thus like idibronco said I'd have to consult myself about sleeving my own engine.
