6.5 rebuild

if you can, I'd go gear drive if I were you.
the throttle response is very crisp compared to the chain. it really makes a difference with the injection pump. you won't hear gear whine either. the diesel noises wipe out most noises.

still considering that. but man, cost more than the fliudamper!!....I think the last time I checked it was like 600 beans.........still gotta get a stud girdle, anyone know where? talked to midwest fuel injection, they will recalibrate and turn my pump up for $150, I'm also still out to lunch on the turbo, gotta be able to push at lease 25 lbs of boost with the IC.......any suggestions?

I seen them but didn't because of shipping and customs charges from canada, I'll e-mail them to see what that charge would amount to.

right from mahle, I can order you a set and have them direct shipped for 650 plus shipping through my shop, they are coated on the tops and skirts and have the pin relocated to lower the compression.
