Here is the IP @Will L. that was on this engine. tag shows DB2-4126. there are some bolts with paint that indicates when it was built or rebuilt, it hasn't been apart

I might not get much done today, it's raining it arse off and the garage roof is leaking! I pulled the valves from the #8 on the head and have the valves in the ultrasonic cleaner to dislodge all the carbon buildup on them. what I'm curious is I found not valve seals, only with looked like an...

@Will L. Here is a pic of the precup after I cleaned up the surfaces. I wouldn't have a clue on how to remove them. I will also get a pic of the tag on the IP that was on this engine.

yes these heads have the large valves. I have not measured them, but I can. what should the large vs small OD measurements be? Not too worried about getting big power, just reliability. as it is my 93 has all the power it needs even with it being worn out it has more power than my 95. If I...

Tomorrow I have a lot of cleaning to do!! earlier when I was washing the engine block off, I parked the engine too close to the house!! my son's truck was in the way and I couldn't move it... I tarpped the front end so it wouldn't get plastered, but I failed to think about the house LOL I...

Curious if that rod can be mounted on a stud or something to lower it further into the tank. if it can be lowered into the tank without too much trouble, then it might read more accurately maybe a hollow stud like what is used on lamps. the center allows for the wires to go through and is...

Yeah, I haven't gotten a code from them in a long while though I get emails from them all the time. I too will be needing to find a code soon for ordering parts for the 6.2 I am working on to get it back together.

Got the heads all cleaned up. washed them in my parts washer then with the power washer. I am finally able to see the casting numbers on them now! lol they were all covered up with the gunk. cast # 14057299 on both heads. from what I can find online they are from an 83ish 6.2l non-turbo...

Got it all stripped down and washed up. and Boy did I make a huge mess!! wheeled it outside and the power washer plastered all that crud everywhere including covering me too! gave it a good blow job with my compressor, wheeled it back inside and coated the cylinders and crank area with some...

Now to get the pan back off, remove the fuel pump and starter so I can power wash all the sludge out Edit. Also remove freeze plugs too

Got it! I had to “finesse” the splash shield. Removed the last bolt and off it came!!

Oh and I am glad I opened this up. look what i found loose on the IP timing gear!! also what is this center plunger thingy on the IP? it's spring loaded.

Here is my current sutuation...

Looking on the web I found this pic on a DP thread that shows a third bolt hole behind the upper IP gear. this bolt is behind the splash shield!! and I can't get the sheild out because the bottom edge if the shield is behind the lower IP gear on the cam. I don't think there is enough room to...

I had ordered that one on the jungle site for $18. supposed to be here sometime this evening. if you want to wait, I will see if this one will work. I can't seem to get the timing cover to come loose. not sure if I am missing a bolt, but I got the IP off and the IP gear out. there is a...

I ordered a set of these plastic razor scrapers for the surfaces.

The auto parts houses here didn't have the spring compressor. if that one will work for $20 it would be better than trying to make one. at least I can check if they are burnt, if they are then it's off the the machine shop. If not and just needs a lap job, I can do that. Oh and I did check...

Here is the super scraper.. https://www.amazon.com/Prozwee-Carbide-Scraper-Tungsten-Surfaces/dp/B0DNZFFMTK

Will this one work? or do I need a different style? https://www.amazon.com/Ojtrtdr-Compressor-Multi-Function-Dismantling-Suitable/dp/B0DJ93L34V

Moving forward, I have a couple questions. I need to purchase a couple of tools to dissemble the head further. I need a valve spring compressor. Which one should I get. don't need an expensive one since this will most likely be the only time it gets used. another question: I plan to drag...
