    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    Update on the turbo install, Didn’t realize banks used a larger egt probe than today’s standard and it came as a nasty surprise to me just before I installed the manifold. The manifold is now at a machine shop getting a weld on adapter and I decided to also have the turbo gone through by a...

    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    As of right now im fighting a stripped nut on the manifold its the last one left and the angel between it and the frame makes for a very tight fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here is a picture with a crappy arrow for reference.

    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    Tore some things apart and decided I didn’t want to do this again so I have stopped for now and begun pulling the righthand exhaust manifold and piping from the engine to install my banks kit. I’ll be posting pictures and if I have questions asking them soon, as of right now I’m in the painful...

    Egr has long been disconnected but she retains the old c code manifold. For the moment I’m removing that going j code and turning the fuel pump a slight but I took the intake off and she’s pretty greasy in here so I’m glad I replaced that valve when I had the chance now I get to inspect my...

    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    I just replaced the CDR valve recently due to mysterious onset of oil consumption so ill trust its ok to plum it into my pre turbo intake tube. I do have the large cast iron box with the PVC fitting banks says to install but I plan to fab up my own intake off the turbo for a little more air flow...

    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    Sounds good for a 6.2 it runs pretty smoothly now and I’m fairly sure it’s on the j code setting so I’ll give it a conservative bump. Also slightly unrelated question but has anyone here played with crank case venting. Banks says route it into the intake for negative pressure and emissions but...

    6.2 diesel timing advance?

    This may be a stupid question but has anyone played with the timing on their 6.2 with a turbo to find a sweet spot between starting and performance. I’ve read around the internet and it seems like most people are timing these engines by feel. My engine only has about 50,000 miles on it so I...

    Hello everyone I am 18 and have been slowly wrenching on my square for about 2 years now. It is a 1986 k10 with a 6.2l J code diesel. As of right now I am running 35s with 3.08 gear ratio naturally aspirated. As I am sure many of you know its not a great combination for highway use. I have a...
