    1987 Crew Cab 2WD Build

    So I called and double checked. The machine shop did not resurface the heads. Meaning the original manufacturer of the reman engine most likely used a head that had been ground down previously. That still doesn't explain how the intake manifold was bolted down and sturdy on reman engine when i...

    ok so after further review the intake manifold that came off the truck doesn't want to go back on the truck? Has anyone else experienced this? I am going to have to clean up my old intake manifold and use it instead. I still have the dilemma of the Valley pan gasket bolt holes not aligning. On...

    Ok question. I got the felpro gasket. Doesn't fit. I'm not sure what to do. What has been others experience? Do they normally fit well? Do I need to pull it and enlarge the holes. This is a joke. It's shaving bolt threads on entry.

    Open the box and found this intake manifold gasket kinked. Amazon was cool and refunded me my money. I went to purchase a new one and they are no where to be found from any brand anywhere! Am I missing something? A brand or vendor that has stock? Anyway is this reparable with a little permetex...

    Rocker Arm Identification

    Question. How much play is normal for the rocker arm. I have one out of them all that jiggles. Also how important is the 20 ft lbs torque spec.

    Flared the lines and assembled the e pump filter line up today. Going to fab a frame to utilize all securment points on the top of the filter housing. This assembly will sit on the frame rail. The Holly regulator will be where the old unit was, top of engine.

    OK gentlemans. Some questions. Thanks in advance for help! 1.When I cranked that head to 150 and snapped the stud I squeezed that felpro gasket to that pressure. Today I put the head back on at the 110 ft lbs using the same gasket. Is that ok? 2.In the pic below I have a 12" cooler. My idea...

    Whats this?

    Sorry getting back to this... how does it due what it does? When the truck was running the wait light would come on...then turn off. It never said there was water in the fuel.. where does this go in conjunction with the water fuel separator? This sat free of anything. Meaning how is it detecting...

    I also started my 101 effort to bend the lines for the fuel pump rig. First pic is a mock up. Second pic is a piece of debri tool that will get returned, you would think it was made from wood. 3rd pic is another piece of garbage tool. You may be able to see in the pic the teeth sheared off after...

    1987 Crew Cab 2WD Build

    I was going to tackle the steering shaft, box, and tie rods. Which made me question if I had to by the entire rods or if there was a way to refit new ends (circled in the photo) after removing the pitman arm I took some photos of its condition. Thoughts? It's an expensive piece that I would...

    Lol guilty as well. Look...if the company doesn't want to be accountable to what pays their bills then why should they get ours? If it's a game then I'll play. I agree and you are right about the 7.3 difference. I'm going to 110 now. You live and learn. I learned on this one! Ouch on the...

    Life grabbed me pulling me off for a while. I thought I was moving to Redmond there for a second. So what made me go 150 was Justin with R&D, I heard CDD reference on his site selling his head gasket, and Nick Pisca (who also referenced Justin in his build breakdown). After talking with Russ...

    The more I have replayed it the more I believe it was a run away torque wrench that didnt signal. I did think man... why is this thing not clicking. I am lost as to recourse. Head comes back off this weekend.

    I was putting the arp studs in tonight with a brand new calibrated torque wrench from Cdi (snap on company). I was at the 150lb stage and the below pics happened. To be honest I just stared at it for some time in disbelief. I still am in shock. I did this by the book in sequence. I dont know...

    Sorry didn't see that last post so I should clean these and then use the metal plugs? Anyone have part number by chance? I assume they are the same size as the 7.3? Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk
