    NOS parts question. Balanced flow water pump from Peninsular

    NOS parts question. Balanced flow water pumpfrom Peninsular diesel. Remember they sold them as take offs from brand new optimizers because their boats don’t use that pump. They sold them at a decent price and so before they closed down I bought a couple. (Still crying over not buying one of...

    Fun video thread?

    I was messing with youtube trying to remember how to upload a video- and stumbled across this video. It’s not mine, no idea who this is. But worthy of sharing imo.

    6.2/6.5 cooling - independent block off thermostats.

    Ok. Something blew fresh air on this ember smoldering in the back of my head this morning. I was searching in vain for the rare 96 crossover without luck and looking at options when I came across these stand alone block off thermostat housings. One line in, one bypass out, one line to the...

    Any plumbers? Water heater input.

    50 gallon natural gas water heater is dead. Thought about welding it up- but know it will just fail again soon from the rusting. Dang Kenmoore didn’t make it 10 years. Can not add 240v electric for hybrid, but do have 120v available. Can not go tankless. So looking around and reading all I...

    Banks flow bench mods from Banks

    Tad sent me this video- looks like Banks is at it again. But they act like no one ever considered the other information. Many do- but you just record the info and do all the math. Using the sensors and their gauges is just doing the math with the equipment. But I know most shop’s don’t...

    Flash point test

    Over the years I had a few people ask how to do it properly - Ran across this video and this is the same tester (Pensky Martin) I worked with for years. The normal starting point for the temperature would be 30°f. He didn’t say it in this video but he started close to flash temperature in order...

    Valve cover picture request.

    Can someone post a pic of their valve cover showing part number from a pickup? I have pics of a 2004 GEP optimizer and a 99 GM van with centermount turbo- they are the same. Just wondering if the normal pickup one is the same. I am using the one with the breather hole.. THANKS!

    6.2 / 6.5 Valve cover leaking issue & solutions.

    Ok, only people that have owned a 6.2/6.5 and people that slipped on the oil and fell in the parking lot where a 6.5 was at understand this issue. Folks use cork gaskets, permetex only, both, and Leroy came up with a new type of gasket that he recommends a thin layer of sealant in there...

    Banks latest build has wild looking headers. Also cool mention about cerakote and new color options.

    First 7 minutes is blah blah blah. Gets good from there on.
