Good news, the motor is in the truck was started yesterday, warmed up, started this morning, and re-torqued. Sounds a lot smoother, might be the weighted crank and roller rockers.
We blew the block in February and it’s ready to pull now in the first part of May with some upgraded internals. IMO a pretty good turn around and I owe it to some very good performance diesel shops and the fine people who work or represent them as well as several folks who stepped in to make sure we had what we needed in a timely fashion and offer to help out if need be.
First and foremost Watson Performance Engineering; Chris, his dad Paul, and brother Randy have been busting there butts to assemble, install, run the motor, and make sure all is ready for the past three and a half day’s.
The fine folks who helped us with getting the needed parts, some right down to the wire, as in this past week and ready to help out with plan “B” if parts hadn’t arrived in time.
Woodruff Diesel
Scheid’s Diesel
Mumau Diesel
Alabama Cylinder Head
Southern Illinois Crank
As always, if it wasn’t for the fine sponsors in my signature below none of this would have been possible. I am very grateful to each and every one them and all that they do for us to keep us going year to year.
If I have left anybody out it is not my intent merely my age and degrading of my brain :hehe:
Can’t wait to hang out with everybody next weekend at TS.
