Die Summer DIE!
I am watching this intently. If there was some aftermarket pre-cups, I would be more interested in building a IDI motor for more power, and boost.

Can you do that Mel? Instructor won't let me yank the precups out.
This interested me, was wondering if any followup had been done yet.
I am curious if the late model 6.5 are better, and if so why? I am still a little fuzzy on what makes a diesel perform, and why.
*bump in the night*
I have an easy to examine precup in the "cutaway head" that everyone who has been to an IDI Weekend has seen.
You must be registered for see images
better than what?
Thanks for that Mel, I was going to PM you about that when I got to starting the engine rebuild after the new year.
Do you or anyone els ehave a cross section of a Pre-cup?
Precups are inconel material.. Extreamly heat resistant and very seldom crack or fail. In the steam path repair shop I worked in we would tig all the steam cuts in the turbine stationay diaphrams with inconel. Slow work but paid of in longivity use too. The steam flowing thru the turbines will eat away the metal blades. We would cut them back till we found weldable metal. Then build a copper base formed just like the missing blade and weld back the blade. We actually make the blades that was. Very time consuming but it worked. The power fileing and sanding was hell on your hands. Our gloves had shock absorbers built into them.. Didn't help much either....
