    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    Well I've been using him for a long time, 10+ years, if something he suggested was wrong and it broke I honestly wouldn't even be mad because everything he's done for me before has been perfect. I think he misunderstood my dropping the engine off and saying there was no rush and to disassemble...

    The joys of ordering a belt tensioner assembly.

    The 1993 is the exposed spring style, the 1994 is the closed spring style. I have both if you'd like a picture for comparison.

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    Do they make new engine mounts for these trucks? I'd like to replace mine when i have the engine out. Is there any special bushings for the front radiator core support or are stock replacement ones fine? Do they make GOOD replacements i mean. If so what brand is a good replacement. I've got...

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    I'll see what size pistons he says I need next week when he takes it apart. I'd be very interested in them if I need them. I'll ask him to balance it I'm sure he will. That's funny my trucks mirror do shake a lot when idling, I have those huge stainless mirrors with all the bars. If he...

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    I talked to my machine shop, he said would balance it for $250 but he really doesnt think its necessary and really wouldnt want to take my money to do that. He said on the high revving engines he builds he does but on this engine he wouldnt recommend it.

    IDI 093 Factory Turbo Kit complete, plug Banks down pipe 168K miles $600

    Oh I'm not sure. I think van manifolds are different but didn't know the crossovers were different auto to manual. This was removed from an e4od truck. I could try to take some measurements from my 5 speed truck but I'm not sure what that will tell you. Justin doesn't list it as auto or...

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    I think my water intercooler is just extremely efficient at removing turbo heat and cooling the charge air. Even lugging the engine floored with a bull moose from 45-75mph i saw it only hit 1150F. Now it's not towing anything but the truck is heavy and lugging it blowing out black smoke produces...

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    I Believe Justin mentioned the turbo pistons were better built for the higher EGTs and the ceramic coating wasnt necessary for my setup. I'll call and talk to him again about it. I have no real knowledge of bottom ends but how well does the ceramic stay stuck to the pistons. I'd hate to see it...

    Having my engine overhauled, anything special i should have shop do?

    I spoke to Justin about it, i am not looking to make TONS of power from it but wanted to atleast get some gains from the extra available air and hopefully clear up some of the smoke from the Bull Moose. I was thinking i can run 20psi without shaving or ceramic coating the pistons and running...
