    Portin Heads...

    Well I got my heads off of eBay. It was $540 for the set and out east somewhere like NJ or MD. I would believe there similar to what Clearwater sells. The guy over the phone told me the were Procomp cast in Australia so they are from China more than likely... I couldn't find the seller on eBay...

    Lift pump alternatives

    Have you tried calling rock auto or pensicola diesel for specs on that hfp953 pump from Delphi? They both sell it but just an idea cuz I don't know what you've tried so far... I'm interested in trying this one out as well so let us know what you find sir

    Matt B- Block repair putty or epoxy may be one thing but that wouldn't need to be as high temp as what I'm going for here. The highest amount of heat is made right in the area I'm working with and something you'd use to repair broken starter mounts like JB weld etc. just wouldn't cut it for high...

    I would say so yes. Taking the excess material out of the port and smoothing out the roughness of the casting. I've heard bowl blending before before but I just call it porting. I don't like sounding too technical lol. Why do you ask 6.2 turbo?

    Lift pump alternatives

    Sorry Turbine Doc I get a little bit frustrated with my phone here and just post up where I'm at is all. Anyone know a good source for that Delphi hfp953 pump? I checked rock auto and it's like $180 or so new...

    Aluminum? The heads I have are cast iron... Are there aluminum heads out there for the 6.5 then? That'd be interesting if there was... I was thinking the roughness of the casting would hold it in place but the only thing I'm worried about is the can says it shrinks a little after hardening. I'm...

    Portin Heads...

    Right but I wanna make the plug down by the exhaust valve itself so there's no chance for exhaust gases to go into that port or cause a restriction to flow. Basically I want a better shape for the exhaust port so put the plug in and then feather it out so everythings smooth

    Portin Heads...

    Yes I get that the EGR is blocked on the intake manifold. I'm talking about blocking the passage off in the exhaust port itself. I don't have stock heads from the 98 as I had to buy new ones and these are aftermarket. I would almost venture to say all the oem heads came with the egr runner in...

    Portin Heads...

    Nope. Factory no EGR due to it being a one ton I'm thinking. I'm talking within the shape of the exhaust port itself. I want to plug it right where it starts to take exhaust gases to circulate into the intake. Right by the exhaust valve itself if that makes sense. I want to minimize any...

    "Cat House"

    Burning Oil - How long would it take to get that facet-purolator pump then? And would you take a card over the phone? Paypal can suck my ass honestly...

    Portin Heads...

    So I started porting heads Sunday night here. Going all right but I'm looking at the EGR port in the exhaust valve thinking that it's causing some negative effect on flow through the heads. Well after a trip to the local Grainger supply house I found this Loctite 2000 degree putty. I'm thinking...

    Raced a Duramax!

    What's the difference in these hx35's Ive been seeing? There's a hx35w and hx35y I've seen on ebay is why I ask. And your right it'd be nice to have the dmax swap done after I'm slowly learning about this 6.5 crap lol

    Lock and Stitch Inserts

    Yea I bought a 599 block and was thinking of downsizing and using the 10mm on the outer holes of the center 3 mains. Or do you mean do the inserts in all of the holes and use 10mm bolts for the whole bottom end? How much is the kit to do this? Or could I just piece it together? I also wanted to...

    Lock and Stitch Inserts

    So how hard are those things to install? Do you drill out the main bolt holes to a larger size and put the insert in or what? I looked at the website for lock and stitch but got confused by it somewhat(not hard to do in my case), because it seems like you have to buy a whole kit or something. I...

    New Dorman balancers

    Nothing is balanced from the factory. It's set within certain tolerances from the factory but balanced it's not. When you get your rotating assembly balanced you take the harmonic balancer in with all of the rest of the parts. So if you change out the dampener from the one you had the rotating...

    New Dorman balancers

    $5000 to rebuild and balance the motor!!!????? I hope your not serious... The fluidampr will absorb harmonics and so will a regular harmonic balancer and for a cheaper cost than that hyped up fluidampr. Yes the stock ones were crap but that doesn't mean every regular style harmonic dampener...
