    bullet proof TTB

    Ok well I would think that alot of people on this site would understand about building a ttb stronger. Many of you are saying "You are wasting your time", "you are beating a dead horse", "d60 is the way to go and alot better".... Hey guess what, all powerstrokes, duramaxs, and cummins are more...

    bullet proof TTB

    I personally disagree. I know the gm setup is different but when built right, independent suspension can but built REALLY strong and GM is a good example of that.

    Aluminum Heads For The IDI

    I dont know if it would be good on an IDI but with direct injection aluminum heads are the best. They are light and surprisingly strong. I mean the duramax has been around since 2001 and still uses aluminum heads. The new 6.7 powerstroke DOES have aluminum heads too. There is a reason for it...

    Thermostat check ball

    Well guys I figured out where my check ball was.... In the pipe haha. I always thought it was in the block. I was looking at the block and I just kept thinking that there was no way it would stay in the hole as the hole goes all the way into the coolant gallery. Thanks for the input guys. My bad ha.

    Thermostat check ball

    I just had my block machined and now the check ball is missing that goes in the hole by the thermostat. Does anyone know where I can get one or what size it is? Also is it just the coolant pipe that holds it in?

    Yeah all 8 cylinders are sleeved. The pistons are ceramic coated on the tops. I dont think the crank was turned down, I think it was just polished. I will have to measure of course to make sure.
