Glad to see you again all
Yes, rebuilding saga:
to make it short, I had a 6.5l Ted's take out, a military optimizer. Was running absolutely perfect. A customer felt in love with my engine: he offered me to buy it at very good price, to pay for all mechanic work, and even pay all stuff for me to rebuild a civilian 6.5 for me + profit. Could not resist the offer and sold the engine.
Then, I rebuilt a civilian 6.5l, including gapless rings. The engine was purring like a kitten. Then another customer heard about my engine with gapless rings, came and offered me a very good price. Sold this engine too.
We had a 6.2l military take out from Ted's. Put a new timing set on it and straight in the Blazer!
This engine is absolutely awesome. Smooooth as silk, no clatter, no noise, and strong!
I have warned everybody: I will not sell this one. Consider it the same as if I have welded the engine mounts
