No updates... had to take a little break from the build, so I have been taking the KTM out for some dirty fun!

You have to many fans of this thread and shouldn't be out risking your health on the KTM. What if you couldn't do anymore to your truck during your recovery? We would be left just pondering of what could have been, with your truck. LOL. Just kidding, I know how it is, every now and then you just gotta walk away and take a break.
 
Anyone have one or two of these.....

So my timing cover issue is resolved.... I needed to install a woodruff key in my adjustable pump gear and got that done. So I had to re-set the pump timing and while I was baring the motor over I heard a loud snap! That can't be good.... apparently one of the pushrod cups got miss aligned with the adjusting ball (all my rockers still loose is why) an popped the rod to the outside of the adjusting ball effectively bending a new Hamilton push rod! :bang

It also scored the adjusting ball..... anyone have an extra laying around for a 12 valve?

I put the 275's over 450's coils on yesterday and the truck is sitting level with no pre-load.... so as I get the rest of her back together, I'm thinking that several turns on the pre-load should do it!

:rockwoot:
 
Also figured out what to do with this oil drain line for the low pressure turbo...

I had such a tight bend that the hose just wanted to kink...

So my brother from another mother gave me an idea...

And I resolved my goof-up with the timing cover.... bored a hole for the pump shaft/nut to clear and then welded an outer piece to close her back up.

I had two different alternators to build around... Denso and Delco...

I went with a Denso 180 amp alternator, size was the biggest consideration as you can see things are getting a bit crowded!
