    Build costs

    i know what you're sayin but thats an extra 3-4 grand don't have. i could blow that motor up next week and i would really be up shit creek. ide rather deal with the downtime and do it once...hopefully correctly

    ill never be content with the amount of power, however budget is dictating what i can do. i figure with what i specified on the first page 7-800hp should be doable in the future without have to redo any internals.

    well, i don't take anyone word as gospel..but i do like opinions lol. thanks for helping me understand what it was though:hug: what about bearings and rings? i have 2 sets of rings as a set came on the spare pistons i bought. how can i tell if they're any good?

    In my case Trent what do you think? also, does the average machine shop have the tools needed to hone a duramax? or do they need a special bit for our bore?

    well i meant if i kept it at the same power i have now, in theory if the cylinders aren't true after the studs that would make failure that much more possible... if im thinking correctly

    Build costs

    what if i made the decision not to get into the bottom end and only did gaskets and studs? would that create a problem?

    Build costs

    so basically you're saying the extra clamping force of the studs will change the geometry of the cylinders themselves?

    Build costs

    i did try searching but didnt find anything. i need to have the cylinders honed even though the pistons/rings are in good shape?

  18. Redbowties88

    Carrillo v.s. Howards

    gotcha... so for another $150 its definitely worth it right? installed the same as a carrillo no need for any special work

    Carrillo v.s. Howards

    ok, where does the pressurized oil actually come from? is further machining/moding required to make use of this hole?
