    marine injectors

    I bought some nozzels the other day that were advertised as "marine". I got them in yesterday and finally got to do some comparison today. Stock 6.2 short body injectors are coded 253, stock 6.2 long bodies are 248, and stock 6.5's are 304. These marine nozzels are coded 311... I've been running...

    It runs again...

    Well, after a long wait my '93 lives again. It got a 6.2 bored .040" with some Sealed power pistons I had cut to 17.5:1 CR... I ceramic coated the pistons with some CBC1 from Techline coatings and they turned out nice. 6.5 heads with turbo precups along with unknown injectors. I fitted it with a...

    WTB: used IDI parts

    I'm looking for some used 6.9/7.3 pistons, rods, and pre-cups. They don't have to be in re-usable condition, just good enough to measure and mock up. Thanks, Justin

    6.9 piston specs?

    I was wondering if someone had some old 6.9 pistons laying around that they would measure. I'm wondering what the piston pin diameter is, what the distance from the top of the pin bore to the crown is, and the overall height. If anyone has a set of used pistons that they would part with I would...

    Buyer beware...

    Exactly one year and one month ago I repowered my '93 with a 6.2 shortblock covered in 6.5 gear. The 6.2 was punched out .020" and fitted with Ebay military surplus pistons... I just tore the motor out tonight since it wouldn't fire on one cylinder and was puffing out blowby something...

    Geardrive install on mechanically injected 6.5

    I've been experimenting with different IP's on my 6.5 and the decision was made that a gear drive was required to eleminate the timing differences that a chain gives. When I tore everything down at first I observed about 1" of slack in the timing chain. That is unacceptable to provide precise...

    4L80E rebuild

    I think the time is soon coming for a rebuild of the tranny in my old chevy. When I first got it I had the low band replaced because it broke, I wanted a rebuild but it didn't work out that way... Lately with the torque convertor locked up via my torq-loc the convertor will slip a little bit. It...

    Transmission Slack

    I've got a question for you Dodge operators. I have a friend who just purchased a '97 Dodge 4x4 with a 5 speed tranny, in overdrive it seems to have a lot of slack when the throttle is relased. Is this the dreaded 5th gear nut backing off or something else? It only does it in 5th gear as best as...

    ChevronTexaco

    Just an interesting bit of info I just learned. Texaco markets their brand of HD diesel oil, Ursa, and Chevron markets their Delo 400. Delo seems to be considered a quality brand of oil by many people and the prefered oil of some manufacturers. Ursa is seemingly unheard of by most people, but my...

    winshield wiper pieces???

    Every morning I go to work and hop into a '85 Ford L8000 with a feed box on it and feed some cattle. Well this morning it was snowing out and the snow was really wet, so I turned on the wipers and only the left side ran. Took apart the cowl under the winshield and discovered that years of ground...

    As many of you may know, Got Juice, a member of various forums is imfamous for blowing up turbo's. Well, I've got one to add to the list of my own.

    M&W Turbo

    Hi, Does anyone here remember the after market turbo kits for older farm tractors such as the JD 4020? Well, I came across one in the neighbors shed the other day. The JD 4020 is a 404 cu engine and is has its rated HP at 2100 rpm. The 6.5 is a 396 cu engine which in my opinion performs best at...

    twin turbo's

    Hey everyone, A friend and I should get his "project" finished within the next week or so. We are turning his 96 GMC into a twin turboed machine.
