So much for my pocket ace late model 6.9. Good as a yellow boat anchor. The reman writing on valve cover and the mark on this piston in the picture tells me the heads must have been severely shaved. A few pistons are marked with a valve collision. No idea about the destroyed cylinder walls. Oh well.

Seriously, if it weren't for bad luck you'd have no luck at all!

Um. I'm not even sure how that happens. Any of it.....

You bought that salvage right? 30 days money back?

Looks like water froze inside on top of the piston and cracked out the cylinder wall.

Rough luck

Yep. That's probably what happened. I forget it gets cold up north. It would never get that cold here. Coldest I have seen in years is 7.

Agreed. 2 of the cylinders were filled with water. The vehicle did not have a hood. Honestly that's the reason I found it. The air cleaner was on, but with years of blowing and drifting snow it must have got into the intake.

I'll tell you what it is. The IDI god's dont take kindly to the Cummins in the corner of the shop. Maybe if it was a DT360.

This sucks.

Sadly those blown out sections of the cylinders was from freezing rain water getting in thru the intake. Sorry to see this but you can save it by sleeving those cylinders.

 

[OldIron82]

That CAN be saved? I would have thought that was finished. Is it worth it? At this point I'm considering slapping together the 83 6.9 ( ahhh old faithful lol ) and drop her in and hope for the best and use the 7.3 in the truck currently for a monster build.

Wouldn't the 7.3 be a better choice due to thicker studs for more boost? Say sleeve all 8 holes no matter what for cavitation insurance, stud, girdle, and slightly decompress? I KNOW this one runs, I own it.

Just run the 7.3 or the 83 6.9 until she blows.

I will give that some serious thought. I don't know if I want to part with that just yet. That may go into my current rig, 89 f350 dump and the 6.9 I want to build into my not yet purchased F350 pickup with a automatic for snow plowing duty. I'll highly consider it. Thank you for the very generous offer.
