I just picked up a flywheel from a wrecker for my sm465 swap in the 87 and they had had one of the flywheels you were talking about. you are correct, it is lighter. i think it was about 3/4's of the thickness of a standard one.
my original quote was for: hot tank(done), bore and hone the cylinders, deck the block, and balance the rotating assembly. that was 750 CAD.
don't need the block decked apparently though.
they are also are doing a magnaflux (already done: perfect bill of health:D), installing freeze plugs, and...
just checked my receipts. paid 245 CAD for a new cloyes double roller timing chain setup.
kennedy offers a phazer gear drive set 400 USD for mech injected, 475 USD for electronic injected engines.
i don't know who else offers them but if you can find a gear drive set for around 300 CAD...
lordco has its faults but i get a massive discount on things.
i paid about 750 cad for my scat crank. which is about the same as heath when you consider shipping, brokerage, exchange rate, taxes etc.
i have two good used cranks if you need one lol.
nah i didnt put him onto the site. should have though.
just told him a few solutions to common problems. pmd, vacuum system, etc.
he had a fsd cooler on the intake- got charged 600 CAD for it at a local mechanic. he had replaced 2 in the last year or two. told him next to go heath -...
so i was at the dump today and was talking to a guy with a 94 6.5 f code. 320.000 km on it. said he was having black smoke problems. his mechanic wanted to replace the turbo charger and injectors. the guy said like 2 grand CAD for the turbocharger- cant remember what he said about the injectors...
i just bought a set of ARP head studs from Lordco here in kelowna for 280 CAD plus taxes. mind you i have the max discount there.
ive got almost everything except the ATT for my motor build through lordco(scat crank, 18.5:1 pistons, main and head studs, etc) . some things they had to order...
I called mahle myself today. it seems that certain 18.5:1 pistons have been discontinued, but they still make them. Looks like i can still get them :D serves me right for listening to the guy at Lordco. :rolleyes5:
For your reference they still make the 027060ha model number but the wr...
I've got a brand new SCAT crank sitting in the garage- I dont want to mess with it other than for balancing.
The mahles i ordered are hard anodized- doesn't say anything bout ceramic.
And yeah its too bad the are discontinued- i had them search high and low for these and they couldn't even...
Yeah i know about kennedy's pistons, but they are stock pistons which get machined as far as i know. I wanted pistons that were manufactured like that rather than machined down. which is when i went for the 10 thou decked mahles.
I wonder where pennisular gets theirs- maybe ill call them up.
Basically what the title says. spent weeks trying to get the Mahle 18:1 marine pistons (027060HAWR-040) ordered. finally got things sorted out and then they find out from Mahle they have been discontinued.
So i have opted to go standard pistons topped 10 thou (02701HAWR-040) for use with a...
Is there any difference between the s and f code precups?
the heads off my 95 141 block are cracked. precups are fine. im getting a set of s code heads off a 99. should/can i swap the precups?
thanks,
james
I talked with someone at pennisular when i was looking at my options for a crank but if he mentioned who made it i cant remember. I know its not chinese though if thats what you're wondering. i think its definately worth it if you are using a new AMG block, but for someone like me its probably...
the cheapest place for a new (not rebuilt) IP that i found was Kennedy diesel. it was about $1190. Heath was around $1400. I would recommend either company as i have bought from them both before, but Kennedy was cheaper.
If you going rebuilt then the cheapest place i found (that i would...
Some 6.2's had a vacuum pump with a speed sensor that a normal teach would hook up to. Also some of the serp belt 6.2's and early 6.5's had a speed sensor that went where the non-serp vacuum pump was.
other than that i think the only option is to get a diesel tach that runs off the...
Yeah i know about the 82 blocks. problem is its still in the truck so i wouldn't be able to inspect it before purchase.
i picked up a late 80's C-code motor today from the guy who is gonna do my heads. the shop next door to him pulled it out of a truck and replaced it with a gasser. 200...
