    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    No sir that is my fuel tank for right now. All the intake does on these is route air from the filter to the heads. Nothing more. All I had to do was plug up a few ports for oil pressure sensors and whatnot. My oiling system is completely contained, I have the radiator standing behind the engine...

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    I had a reason, I believe the db wouldn't fit where the ds was but It was a while ago so I can't remember for certain. Or it may have been something else

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    Haha ok a diesel you don't need any of that, the fuel gets sprayed right into the cylinder as opposed to going through the intake so you don't need it for a diesel, and the exhausts don't do a ton for test runs either. Theres oil in it don't worry, again there's no open areas like a gas engine...

    I take that as a partial compliment, I go by the saying "you can't do it wrong if nobody knows what youre doing"

    That's steam from the coolant that's trapped in the back of the black

    6.5 mechanical hackjob won't run smoothly

    So as the title implies I have a bit of a weird monster here. I pulled a 6.2 outta my k30 that decided it didn't want cylinder 2 anymore, and was given a good deal on a 1997+ 6.5 that had a dead DS4 but low miles and good compression, plus I wanted the turbo for a turbo 6.2 idea. However I saw...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    So I went and picked up a 6.5 yesterday that I found cheap, 95k miles for a few hundred dollars with everything on it. My plan was to rip the turbo setup and heads off it and slap them on my 6.2 and see what happens. One problem, the 6.5 has cracked prechambers. I know they're serviceable if...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    You're not wrong, an hour meter would be great to have here. There never was a PTO setup on this truck or any AC so there's not much reason to leave it running except exactly that, some people just refuse to shut them down lol. Even still though, excessive idling will usually leave you with...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I believe the mileage on my engine is accurate as they've owned it since it was new, and it was never put in the road much so I don't think it was driven too far. The place wasn't a quarry per se, it was some type of a construction company. Not sure what they did or where they worked at, I...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Injectors will go to a shop if I end up using them, found a complete 6.5 takeout not far from me for pretty cheap, so I'm gonna whip the whole top end off it and slap in onto my block. The 6.5 don't run, probably a bad IP, bit I don't know for certain. Once I slap the heads on I'll compression...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    Gp system was operational, truck actually started great. The company I bought it from was the original owner, Canton Valley Construction. I cleaned the heads up a little today, I'm gonna bring the injectors to the shop near me on Monday, they do pop testing really cheap and if they have to...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    It seems to have come mostly from the head, I didn't really see any of this when I drained the radiator. It being what's on the pistons could definitely coincide with a bad headgasket. No clue why there's be so much of it, maybe bits from the previous water pump? It was replaced fairly recently.

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I have no idea what it was really, it was a construction company but this was their pit truck according to the id tags, and they said it was never really used on road. Also, while I was cleaning the heads earlier, some coolant dumped out, and this is what it looked like. Appears to be brass bits...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I haven't yet, I got a little over excited to tear it down and may or may not have forgotten to do a comp check first. None of the cylinders look scored badly, minot scuffing in one or two but it's mostly just seeable, can't feel them with a finger or anything. I think what I'm going to do is...

    6.2 symptom confirmation

    I'm not sure of anything got put in it like that, I don't really see why it would be, this came from a quarry of some type and never really left the property, I'm planning on pulling injectors today and seeing when the shops open
