    Best DD Engine Build??

    Gmduramax was getting at a good point earlier though. Everyone sees the engine parts packages from vendors or wagler and thinks it's not too expensive to do an engine. But they forget about all the machine shop costs (and possibly assemly.) Adds up quick. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Best DD Engine Build??

    Indy car engines are balanced within .5%. And we know their engine speeds are insane. So with the numbers you've listed for your engine, your extremely heavy rotating assembly (in comparison) is balanced better than an indy car engine. Which is awesome, that's great. I'm not saying its...

    Best DD Engine Build??

    I was being sarcastic instead of taking his bait. I was providing pertinent info for the topic and gmduramax wants to turn it into a pissing match. The prices I gave include machining, balancing, magnuflux checks, pressure checks etc. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Best DD Engine Build??

    Just because you paid more than anyone else doesnt mean they are the only ones capable of doing top level work. I just did two callies crank externally balanced engines this fall. The billet main cap one cost me $2430 in machining, cleaning, and heads jet washed and checked. It was bored...

    LMM: Glo plugs

    The ECM will clear the DTC itself after x amount of successful tests. Most DTCs take two successful tests. Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Best DD Engine Build??

    That's what I assumed you meant but wasn't sure. I'm impressed with waglers parts, have used piles of them. The solid head thing is quite a big deal in sled pulling, for one. But the parts alone will not make power or impress. Takes someone pulling it all together and make it work...

    Carrier bearing part number

    The gm part is probably the spicer one, just marked up a few more bucks and in an ac delco box! Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Any amount you over bore will help with airflow, unshrouding the valves. It would be minuscule, and extremely expensive/hard to measure gains but its a major reason I wouldn't be afraid to over bore when replacing pistons. Do not waste money on exhaust parts before budgeting for motorsports...

    GM head gaskets or Victor Reinz?

    Well this one turned sour real quick this morning. I jerked the heads last night at quit time and saw the gasket cracked so I called it a night. Finagled all day yesterday so I could leave the turbo on.... only to find this right away today... Sent from my SM-G960U using Tapatalk

    Injector testing/balance rates with blown engine?

    If you know the injectors have been replaced in it's lifetime, get them tested. Otherwise do not waste the money, just replace them. Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Injector testing/balance rates with blown engine?

    With no compression in a cylinder, the balance rates will not be anywhere near accurate anyhow. Which engine do you have and how many miles? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

    Swapping on bigger nozzles

    I have used 4 different sets of nozzles from extrude hone without any problems. From 40% all the way up to 180%. From 600rwhp to 1200ish. They all were swapped without balancing onto extremely healthy injectors that I had owned and controlled since day 1 though.
