    Is this a problem??? With Pics

    Im right in the middle of installing a MA pump rub plate and i ran into this debris in what looks like the pump pickup. It looks like rtv or something of that nature. My snap ring pliers broke when trying to remove the snap ring to get the bearing off so i havent got to the pump yet. Does this...

    LLY: Black Smoke and no power

    Can you get your hands on a borescope? Might be worth it to pull the injector out and try and peek in there before pulling the head.

    Any starter input? LMM

    You need to download Josh H's timing calculator if you havent already. Start by adding SMALL percentages , like 5 to maybe 10 % at a time to main injection pulse above 40 mm3 .For timing start by running 50% injection before top dead center and 7 degrees minumum timing. Once you download that...

    Beating my head against the wall.. Lb7 vss issue

    Good to hear you figured it out! Wiring issues like that can be such a pain in the ass.

    LML crank in lb7 engine build, which flexplate?

    I just got off the phone with DHD, i was ordering a couple things and he said that the Lb7 balancer and damper have worked fine for them in this situation and to go ahead and have it balanced with the lb7 parts. I have a set of wagler rods and race cast 20 overs. Thanks for all the replies

    Doing head studs and gaskets going for 650-700hp

    I know right! I took my wife to the casino tonight for her birthday and the whole time i was thinking about what truck parts i would buy next if i won big. I try to convince myself everyday to sell all my truck parts and leave my truck alone but then i go to my local racetrack and see fast...

    Rods, pistons, machine shop bill, main studs, flexplate,damper,bearings, gaskets, push rods, oil pump, valve springs, thats stuff do do it right. its gonna be well over 5k and im sure im missing something. Im in the middle of an engine build and i will tell you if you set a budget of 5k have...

    I dont know if he has lbz rods or if he is talking about putting them in his motor but i was going off him saying "engine not built" and him having an lly.

    If you fill out your signature might help some too. There are some trucks that live at 650 for a while but you have to be realistic, at 700 as everyone has said engine itself wont last long. Your stock pushrods will be fine until you build the engine. Keep torque numbers as low as possible.

    LML crank in lb7 engine build, which flexplate?

    Im collecting the rest of my parts to complete an engine build and i figured someone on here would know what flexplate to run with and lml crank. I have a socal lb7 flexplate and was wondering if it will balance up fine with a lml crank or if i need to sell it and get something different. It...

    Reused head studs

    I have those specs somewhere in my garage. I talked with an ARP rep a while back and they said as long as you do not over torque , dont have severe corrosion and measure them to make sure they are not stretched past their limit that they will last a long time.

    Seriously?

    HAHA my truck currently has one of those. The previous owner kept having problems with the sending unit and cut a hole just big enough to pull the unit out. The truck was in great shape other than that so i bought it anyway. I will tell you it actually came in handy when i replaced the suction...

    I got excessive amount of fuel in crank case,water in fuel light is on,and runs rough

    You dont normally get a cracked return line just leaks from the banjo fittings. It wouldnt run much different if one was cracked or leaking bc that is after the injector so its still getting the fuel it needs just leaking leftover fuel from what the injector doesnt inject. The thing is if you...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    I gotcha. So youre saying that with the 6 speeds they may be at a rpm thats more likely to break the cranks due to harmonics bc they run slightly lower rpm down the road. I guess that it would depend on how fast you consistently drive bc a 5 spd if driven at a slower speed would be at the same...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    I used to cringe a little when i lugged my truck hard on my big tune. Ive since then made some tcm changes so it will downshift without lugging the shit out of it. Still holding together:thumb:

    I got excessive amount of fuel in crank case,water in fuel light is on,and runs rough

    It may seem like it runs fine but with that extra fuel entering whatever cylinder or cylinders it will cause them to run hotter and is not very good on pistons. Glad to see the fuel filter helped one of your problems. Im curious to see what your balance rates look like.

    I got excessive amount of fuel in crank case,water in fuel light is on,and runs rough

    I may be wrong but i didnt think you could buy Brand new injectors for an lb7 i thought bosch only sells reman injectors that they rebuild, maybe Brent will chime in he would know about that. Is there a check engine light on? Does it come on when it loses power? Plugged fuel filter will do some...

    Everything looks great! I love watching videos of that thing on the track. So jealous....:thumb:
