Was chatting a bit with a guy in the 6.5 who has potentilly a cracked block and it brought back a bad memory I'd like to share about a perfectly good 6.2 gone before it's time. ONe of my air cleaner studs broke almost by the intake manifold. It still had the nut on and probably was dangling around in there for awhile and soehow the nut came loose and it got sucked into the cyl. It smashed the piston, bent a valve and cracked the block. It's a shame, it was a clean motor. After that I put brand new studs and used lock nuts instead of wing nuts so if they ever did break they couldn't work loose. I also checked them frequently after that.
