    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    That stack maf PASS combo is just a prototype the guys at Shocker printed up for me. Think I can swing the turbos out a inch or so on the vbands an not mess up the charge tube alignment. Worst case we lengthen that tube before cutting the real ones from alum. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using...

    Who else is going to UCC?

    Since no one identified me and claimed a free lunch, thinking maybe I can offer dinner to first person to break 2000hp... So far I'm looking safe on that one too. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    From the set of 16 Fingers just did for me before ceramic coating. +0.20 Oval bowls, valve reliefs, -0.10 off the tops, and pins shaved down. 1293g with rings.

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Then that 46g diff is gonna be a big deal. Ok, tell the customer you need to buy a LLY so my math works out correctly. :roflmao:

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Humm... Isn't the pin dia larger on the LML? If so, that might just be a diff between years. We may be comparing apples to oranges. I would call Mahle and ask them. $1 says apples to apples it comes back to couple grams.

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    You are correct.. LML has more meat in it so should be heavier. Someone toss one on a digital scale for comparison and we will know for certain. The LML and Mahle look to be same dang piston from what I recall. Lot closer looking now than the old LLY's. :hug:

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    Found em... 4 grams diff on stock LLY vs Mahle [+.020" I think] with valve reliefs. I was gonna say only 4g earlier but didn't wanta commit. Been told that 1.5g range is not uncommon within a set, so your only talking about 2.5g difference from stock. In a Duramax, that's like the least of...

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    I ask two well respected engine builders about the balance deal before deciding. The weight difference for Rpm range was not enough to be concerned with. If spinning 8k they said certainly do it, but no need for less than 4k engines. I posted the actual weight difference on here back in 2010...

    Cracked Piston solutions?

    I did a Mahle upgrade to a LLY some years ago and didn't balance it. As mentioned above they are a few grams heavier than stock. Spun it 3-4k for extended periods, it's still running fine today... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using Tapatalk

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    Won't let me vote again, but chalk up another LMM. Buddy just purchased an 08 with 180k an a random misfire. He drove it home 30 miles, said ran like crap and ask me to take a look. Crank sensor and cyl misfire codes. Quick glance at the damper, wobble wobble... On a good note, last owner just...

    LML Marine swap

    Soon as ya get those charge pipes welded up let me know and we'll plan a date to fire em up. After all that plumbing work, ya might wanta just do it in the boat. :thumb:

    LML Marine swap

    That seems a bit large for your setup especially. Shouldn't take much if anything more than a std BBC setup at those power levels. But ya can never go to big I guess. Dave's only running a 5" by like 26" at 700-800hp. I've never seen his hit 180F in the data logs yet. I'm still considering...

    Street Outlaws vs Fast & Loud the Mega Race

    The OKC show is getting a little bit to clean, safe, and well lit for my liken lately. If there is any magnetism left on the VHS tapes, I could produce a full season or two worth of real street racing action from back in the late 80's thru early 90's. Remember when Fox bodies with NOS and...
