    Oil Cooler issue

    Ok, that is weird... The fittings that have the oring on them go to a stock cooler, and the guy who packed the kit musta been low on sleep... Call Leroy and have him look at this video and I bet he goes and slaps the guy that packed your kit... The elbows that were in your kit will fit into...

    Fuel Leak

    now is a good time to get extended bolts, and raise up the FFM above the intake runners, and replace all three fuel lines feeding the FFM... kill two birds with one stone. replace the leaking line, and make it MUCH simpler in the future to both find a leak, and fix it.

    Oil Cooler issue

    I sincerely doubt leroy sent you 3/4" fittings, as they wouldn't fit in any block. should be 3/8" NPT (about 3/4" diameter at the threads) for old motor, and 1/2" NPT (about 1" diameter at the threads)

    Oil Cooler issue

    post up pics of all the fittings you have in the kit. I think the swivel parts are for the cooler end... not the block.

    Intake Manifold and Valve Covers

    that wear is why I think ALL motors should have rollers... the roller tip rides on the face of the valve stem instead of sliding across it. I'm planning to put the HS rockers on all my motors. of course, I put 5K a month on my trucks...

    Do 6.5 starters get weaker?

    if the starter ran SLOW with the PASSENGER side ground only loose, I'd SERIOUSLY pull the crossover positive cable off, and clear the rubber, and clean the spacer, and the cable ends, and the battery... then replace the STUPID F&(&*(& stock bolts and put in threaded bolts and lock nuts. then...

    Need opinions on a 92 C2500HD, runs rough and smokes, no blowby

    miss, and white smoke without blowby... crack injector lines one at a time and see if the smoke stops when the miss does... could be a rocker button failure. check the oil level and see if it's thin or raising.

    Rebuild for a performance oriented 6.5

    on a performance block, I would NOT machine the stock rods... decking the block would raise the compression, not lower it. if you are concerned about gasket blowout with taller gaskets, o-ring the block...
