Looks pretty good….

Here are some pictures.More on the way.

I’ll upload some pictures of the build later today.

The pulley and balancer are now at the shop.I was quoted about $250 to make the alignment collar.I told the machinist to go ahead and do whatever needed to be done.Hoping to have it back sometime soon.

I’m heading to a local machine shop tomorrow to get an alignment washer made with a built in lip to be sure the 302 mustang crank pulley stays centered within the olds harmonic balancer.The mustang pulley has a larger hole than what the olds pulley had so I dont want the pulley to slip and go...

Thank you Marty.Once it’s gets driven on the highway it should work out fine.Hoping to bleed the brakes on it today and put the hood and grille back in place.

I also used a milodon oil pump driveshaft as the stock shafts were known to round out.Milodon is pretty much the best in the business when it comes down to oil pump driveshafts and oil pans.I like the products they offer for Oldsmobile engines.

Thanks will.This engine is the DX block.It came out of a Cadillac Fleetwood.I think the filtration is pretty good like you said.The milodon oil pan also has a magnetic drain plug in it too. The Bosch plugs I used are over 10yrs old that I got from eBay brand new.I checked the code on each box...

Thank you.

Here are pictures showing the moroso oil filter adapter so I could use the oil cooler.The electric fan is also wired up now with a thermal switch upon the oil line.

Here are some additional details.A milodon stock capacity oil pan closed up the lower end with a trw standard volume oil pump.The crank is a .010/.010 with a new sealed power camshaft and nos ford 7.3 powerstroke lifters from 1994.They use the same lifters as the 6.2/6.5 diesels as well.Arp main...

I think I have it figured out.Here’s how it sounds now.Its two videos in one basically.The first video shows no funnel in place for pouring in transmission fluid.Its also before I used the liquimoly diesel injector cleaner.The second video has the funnel in place and the liquimoly as been added...

Hey guys.I finally have my 1981 5.7 diesel all assembled and running after a rebuild.Its running pretty good now after using some liquimoly diesel injector cleaner.Any idea how to post videos here?Thanks

I’d take a gamble on a Chinese block too if I had no choice.It looks like a nice casting.Like Will said not everything made in China is bad.I’ve heard of some guys using those blocks in the past.If the rotating assembly is balanced I feel you won’t have a single issue.

My injector pop tester has arrived.The first tester was damaged in transit and I had to get another one.I will check these injectors either today or tomorrow and see how they turn out.

Absolutely.I’ll share the information no problem 👍

A couple days ago I bought a new injector pop tester from Amazon to give me an idea of how these new injectors will perform.Total was around $175.

Absolutely.Your definitely right.

They look genuine to me anyway.I’ll definitely use them in the near future.All the injectors are sold out now anyway.Everything made now or a few years back isn’t always counterfeit.There are still good genuine sets available out there.

I know of one buyer who took apart one injector to verify the nozzle and it has the Bosch logo on it with the proper nozzle part number.
