You mean too much valve overlap? I've watched a lot of your projects, it always impresses me the amount of innovation and experimentation you do. I agree with SCtrailrider, we should start a betting pool for how long it'll survive.

It will be interesting to see the numbers. Has anyone seen the numbers on heaths NA-66 bump stick for these 6.2's?

Bill, when you come back through NC, let me know and we'll get up for a little bit, maybe lunch. I'm just outside of Charlotte, where I-77 and I-85 meet. Good luck to you sir.

The first thing I plan to spend a dollar on will be to have the block magnafluxed and pressure checked. WW, with the gapless rings keeping the oil cleaner do you go longer on oil changes or is it not worth pushing it like that?

Yeah Kennedy wants $995 for his, i'm not spending that much. I'd imagine Peninsular wants even more for theirs?

Finally got around to getting the 6.2 out of the bread truck and I've already started stripping it down. I'll post up some pictures at a later time. I'm wanting to rebuild it with a 6.5 top end and most likely an A-Team turbo. Need some advice along the way as this is my first diesel build...

Yeah I saw that a few weeks ago, it's pitiful really.

I don't understand why diesel depot is like that. I've heard of these problems before out of them. I contacted them back in November through email about rebuilding my 6.2, he said he'd love to help. I wanted him to ceramic coat my pistons and heads, rebuild my heads and probably balance the...

I'm in the same boat you are. My 454 gets about 7-8 mpg, and I only fire it up once every two weeks to make a dump run or tow something big. I've been tossing around a 4bt swap for it. But it would cost me probably $6-7000 all said and done the way i'd like it. I just can't justify that...

I talked with Tim a few times before I bought mine back in October. I paid extra for the factory new stanadyne ones (made in Italy) and new glow plugs. Don't go with those cheap $250 dollar ones. I don't remember correctly so don't repeat this, but I believe those are the medallions that...

Great work with the battery tray, that's actually really smart. What are you doing to keep them strapped down?

WW, what are the specs on your IP for the 93'?

Were there any issues with the injection pump hitting anything or does it clear everything with ease? After modifying the oil pan would the 4BD be able to bolt right up to the transmission or would you still have clearance issues?

So you're coming out cheaper than rebuilding a 6.2/6.5 and better fuel economy, same amount of power. Not to mention more reliable. How many miles are on the 4BD? What are you're plans for the engine in the long run to make more power?

Awesome thread, I'll be watching every step of the way. Few questions for you: What are you planning on for the engine mounts? A four cylinder will have more vibrations so are you doing anything to dampen the vibrations more? How much did you budget this would cost you, total, turnkey?

I couldn't imagine more than 200 pounds, but I still haven't pulled them out yet. I got lazy on that truck after the engine and transmission got pulled out.

Have you already got some injectors to test or are you needing some? I just replaced my injectors last weekend. The old ones are Bosch Germanys that are going to be sitting around my shop until I can figure out what I want to do with them. I could throw em in a flat rate box and ship them...

Ooo, look at the fancy new tool. Are you going to start rebuilding injectors for members here or is it for personal use only?

I wouldn't mind getting rid of my GMx...

Good find, thank you. The fan clutch is $180 now. FYI.
