Transmission jack and a helper for the door pins. Always buy 1-2 extra sets as you will screw up a bushing or two. They only go in once and come out in multiple pieces. Need to figure out how to remove the door sag. Latches are shot as well.
6.2 injectors, long body, do clear the turbo manifold on 6.5 heads. They don't clear the turbo manifold on 6.2 heads.
No change. The engine just doesn't have enough rings left to start on it's own. It's hard to start on Ether! Note all that does is add heat to get the diesel burning so if the lift pump is INOP during cranking etc it won't start. (Gotta hunt no LP during crank down.) No power when running. The fire literally goes out in a couple cylinders below 2500 RPM.

Yeah, those are some tired rings- what's left of them anyhow.
I would ID the low rpm dead cylinders and do the injector swap game just to verify you don't have sticky injectors before the day you decide to tear it down.

Already swapped out all 8 with known good long body 6.2 injectors and didn't help. Just hope I don't have severe scoring or cracked pistons.
May have a rocker off - but that much blowby engine needs to come out anyway.

Always knew you were off your rocker
My new project has a lot of blow by to, so engine may come out soon also.
Had a couple friends over to help and got it pulled out.
What are the buttons on the back of the heads? Overheat plugs on a rebuild?
Yes, I do cut the oil cooler lines off to save time anymore. Just not worth fishing the clips out from under the truck. They are hard enough to need replacement anyway. Flex plate starter gear was in poor shape so my spare will go on.

That's exactly what I think they are, overheat for warranty on a rebuild.

Looks like the guy still got it hot with all that blow by or it was a jasper....
Yep overheat tabs. Looks like a 599?
Hope it turns out to be rebuildable for you. Have you torn into it yet?
This engine was hanging on by a razor's edge. Literally!!!
If you re-listen to the video what's missing? The Signature 6.5 clack is hardly there. Timing is extremely retarded even with all the dots and marks lined up.
"How the hell are you rotating the cam 1 sprocket tooth with the chain still on!?"
Sloppy pistons with some minor damage on the corners aside of carbon buildup. Yes, there are machine marks in the pistons looking like valve reliefs - lowering compression?

How's that rod and the valve smacked piston?
Its rebuildable?
Yes!
No Cracks! No, Piston damage is melting at the edges from using too much ether. There are machine marks on all pistons.
Managed to pound out the damaged key from the crank.
Great!

Holy crap! I'd call that a tough seasoned block!
Is it still standard bore?

Wow, that chain is stretched. Glad the block is good.
