    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    I am considering swapping engines with the K20. The 6.2 D Diesel is just a gem, and if I put this into the K20, I would have, in my opinion, the ultimate practical truck for where I live.

    Stolen!

    Not a short box, but nice. On Facebook https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1769245040499247 And since we are here, how do you put a tracker on your truck. I think I will put in a hidden master cutoff switch in mine, Break my heart to have my restored truck and new 489 motor stolen.

    Mar-K Truck Toolbox for Stepside

    Watching as I sold mine in the farm auction for like 10 bucks...I want one that mounts on the back side behind the wheel wheel, and no wider. Just for a bottle of anti freeze, oil, towels, jumper cables and some tools. May have to make it.

Generally if the engine has correct clearances, the standard volume pump will start to bypass around 2000 rpm’s. I will buy another Melling M77 pump and modify it. You can buy them with three different springs...

    These Wiseco pistons use a .078 wide top and second chrome moly ring set. This is how to check bolt streach. Short block FINALLY done.

    Double spiral locks are a pain to install, but after 18, I am good at it. Use a stone to deburr rings. Wiseco uses this ring spacer for support over the pin area, common practice. I also polish each ring with green scotchbrite until it is super smooth.
