Tahoe motor rebuild

Worked on the 6.5 today and got all the valves adjusted . And me and my cousin put on the valve covers intake,ip injectors,which I did a quick pop test,all were 1950 psi. Also put a flywheel and starter on . We set it on wood blocks and had it running on the floor:):) Totally impressed . Smoothest running 6.5 I ever had ,and extremely snappy,not at all like my 6.2. We used kerosene so it would start easier,and only hooked up 3, 24 volt glows and the shop was close to freezing temp. Oil pressure was over 80 psi at idle .

should be interesting what you find running that schwitzer s-300 turbo on there, it is suposed to be an exelent turbo for the 6.5l....
 
It is,but mine is not near as big as the latest and greatest S-300's that are so popular. Guess we will find out eventually how good or bad it really is .
 
I was debating on installing a turbo. You cant really test one any how without putting the engine under a load.

nice..... that motor sounds great..... nice color scheme too, was thinkin that our next motor would be orange..... now need to think on a new color...LOL..... hey 6.2, what did your remote oil filter adapter come off of? did you/are you going to use it still?
 
It's for a 350 small block,I plan on using it with a dual filter mount on the inner fender.
 
You just need the right threading and right diameter.

Threads: 13/16-16
Diameter is around 3.5"

At least thats why I use on the oil filter, since I dont have an adaptor with the 2WD truck.
oil filter gasket says is OD 3.444 and ID 3.1

Then get the largest ports you can, like -12 or -10, 1/2", ect...
 
Post #99. The picture to the left is stock,and all the way right is how I have it now. I plugged the filter bypass and removed the big plug with a small hole in it. The other bypass I left alone since it does nothing.
 
so how is the project coming? did you finally get the motor in the truck? i was wondering where you got your shims that you used for the valve springs.... if you could point me in the right direction it would be apprieciated.... thanks
 
I have the motor installed,but not finished yet. I started a new thread called 4 door Tahoe project,in the project central section. The valve spring shims were from the local hardware store.
