Engine rebuild

[pennsylvaniabo]

Ok guys, I have come to the decision to rebuild and hop up my IDI. I want to get more power out of it, and reseal and freshen the motor. I wanted to assemble a parts list for not only myself but others in the future. Issue is this is my first diesel rebuild so not sure what would be the best parts to get. So here is the list-


Gaskets-
Intake
oilcooler
exhst. manifolds
oilpan
valve covers

Headgaskets (high performance)

Any others-

Upgrades-

Studs (ARP)- Type 4
Inj pump- DPS turbo calibrated
Stage 1 inj- DPS
Intercooler 6.0 PSD w/ all 3" piping
AIS water ****
Type4 cam- Type4
Heat wrap crossover and down pipes- maybe



Any other suggestions? And vendors/ sources of where I can get the necessary gaskets and what are the best headgaskets?

Cowl induction CAI, bring them EGT's down.

Check Typ4 for studs as well!

nah i have a huge air filter currently. so no cowl intake. as for studs, they wil come from type4

 

[Goofyexponent]

HAving a huge air filter, and having a cold air intake are two different things though. If you want a LOT of air, a big filter is the way to go, but if you want a LOT of COLD air to combat the high EGT's that pump is going to give you...even WITH an IC...then you need a CAI.

Do a search, there are several threads here on this. It all depends how much money you want to spend. 94 turbo rods and pistons would be a good start if you plan on a lot of boost (15-25 is a lot for an idi). You might reconsider your pump and injector configuration, there has been a lot of people dissatisfied with dps's work, do a search on them also. and remember find facts, don't believe everything everyone says

You missed the most important part: A bigger turbo.

Yeh I feel that with these upgrades i can reach the max of my current turbo. So in the future yeh it will get a bigger one. But the main issue is around here, the only "cheap" turbos are hx35's. I really do not want to spend $1,500 on a turbo.....

buy the gasket set.

 

[icanfixall]

If you buy the above gasket please don't use the oil pan gasket. They wont seal and then you have a leak that requires the engine removal. Use a quality grade rtv like permatex ultra copper. I have used it for years on oil pan gaskets and never a leak. Even the factory used rtv for this gasket. Those main seals probably wont work because your seal rubbing area on the crank and dampner will have a worn area in them. Get the speedi sleeves and you will be fine. Its a lot of work to drop a trans because you have a rear main seal leak. The front main seal is no picnic either. About the crank flexplate or flywheel bolts. Use athread sealant on them or oil will leak past the threads from the pan. And the front seal needs some rtv on the keyway to stop the oil flow leak. Just enough on the key to cover it well.

Whoa whoa whoa, ICANFIXALL, not sure if I follow

You better get a manual then, and do lots of reading

Well i have rebuilt 2 gm 350's before. As for ol pan gaskets, RTV is a no brainer. The flywheel bolts will get loctite like normal, the part that confused me what the speedy sleaves and and the key way. Now that i re-read it the keyway makes sense, but never heard of speedy sleaves?

A speedy sleeve is a sleeve that goes on the wear surface. This makes a nice, smooth, FLAT surface for the new seal to ride on. And a special larger diameter seal comes with the sleeve
