    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Well I think this rebuild is about to get more expensive yet. Started to clean the block a little this morning and was looking at the piston were the head gasket blew and its worse than I orginally thought it was. The cylinder looks alright you can still see the cross hatches and the leupord...

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    OK I looked at few threads and will bolt some new stock mounts. I think I will take my chances with the pistons I have since I dont plan to push the HP all that much just stock tranny safe tunes. Not saying that it wont crack but hopefullly if it does I will have a little more money to play with...

    Yea the aftermarkets are very pricey but dont want to waste money on the stock ones either if they are just gonna rip in half again.

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Got the heads to the machine shop last friday and they said they should be able to weld that spot up and machine it back down. Been doing some reading and it seems like cracked LBZ pistons are pretty common and wondering if I should replace them with something better. Also the motor mounts...

    Head Gasket Job

    Just wondering if there is any tricks to removing the intakes from the heads. Would using a heat gun soften the silacon or do you think thats just asking for prolems?

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Ok thanks for the info. Will hopefully get my heads to the machine shop friday and see what they say. I'm hoping that maybe that spot can be welded to build it up and machined back down as long as its not going to cost more than used set of heads.

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Ok so from what i have read it looks like to use lly heads i would have to machine the injectors so added cost with no benefit. But it sounds like i could use LMM heads and it would be bolt on and go. Just want to make sure so i know what my options where in case i have to find another set of heads.

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Appreciate the links but probably going to get every thing from creatures of the night. But first I have a feeling im gonna have to find another head for the passenger side. I have however seen an aluminum head welded up and redecked but have no ideal what it would cost or how long it would hold...

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    I got the motor out and working on getting the rocker arms off and cant seem to get slack in all the rockers even with the adjustment screws backed all the way off. Is there a spot were they will all loosen up or do i need to just pull the rocker arms.

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Good ideal on the pcv reroute as i will most lickly put a dp on while its out. Will also be doing an EFI tune. Money is a little tight right now so really only want to do the things that need to be done to get it back on the road but at the same time the thinkgs that are easier to do with the...

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    OK thanks for the link. I was just reading a thread about the pinned water pumps and was thinking that was probably the way to go. Its actually a little cheaper to.

    06 LLY HG Replacement.

    Hey guys I bought a 2006 LLY that has 180,000 miles on it with a blown head gasket. I have never been into a diesel engine and only rebuilt a few gas engines with help so I have a few questions. I'm pulling the motor out to do the HG because the oil pan appears to be leaking so I want to fix...
