    6.9 idi Garrett turbo

    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.

    7.3 Heads on a 6.9

    I'm actually using grade 8 bolts on the lower side of the head where they made the boss longer right at the manifold. It's just hard to get a 7/16 thread with a 1/2 shank. So I orders some of those washers that will take up the space.

    7.3 Heads on a 6.9

    I'm in the presses of outing 7.3 heads on my truck. I took out the freeze plugs for coolant flow. The dowel pins should line the head up and just gets her bolts for the bottom row

    idi prechambers needed

    So I picked up a nice set of 6.3 heads. I'm thinking about putting those on my truck. If have to shim the head studs I got so they work and punch out those cooling plus on the heads but I think it might work. What are your guy see thoughts? And only difference between head gaskets is those...

    idi prechambers needed

    Hey I just took my valves out and on both heads on 3-6 intake I have a crack along the seats and also onto the heads. So I'm probably going to need some new heads unless that happens with these engines and is not a problem. I'll see if I can find anything else out!

    idi prechambers needed

    You have a very good point! My buddy and I where talking about that. I can weld but not that well. We should figure out if it's possible so we can save out pre cups. Anybody have the equipment to try?

    4 have pretty good cracks and most of the others are starting. Would rather replace them all while I'm in there.
