Yeah I’m pretty excited, I haven’t really driven this thing in over a year. Even after I put in my rebuilt trans/clutch/t-case I only got a lap around the block.
Considering DD'ing 350k mile LB7?

Has anyone used loctite primer for the injector cups?
Reading this document here, it says with inactive metals primer is recommended (stainless cups and aluminum heads)

Cavitation erosion is normal in high mileage components. That’s why I was asking about the coolant, old coolant can speed up the process.
Gotcha. Given the condition of this housing, any other components I should look into?
Also, any brand better than the other for coolant or just as long as it’s dexcool?
Cat elc is what I prefer, or Rottela. Any elc will be fine just don’t forget to change once in a while... People think elc means never again:rofl:
I hope so. I’m getting nickel and dimed with the little things to finish this thing up, and even more it’s the wait for parts.
I decided to pull and redo the cup that I forgot the copper washer in.
This is after a full week of drying. How’s the pattern look? It doesn’t look anything like what came out.
Given the way that the loctite broke off it looks like it only sealed to the further out dirty part?

After this weekend I’m going to have to tap out.
I’ve flown/drove 700 miles to get to the truck for the past 5 weekends in a row and I just can’t keep going.
I’d like to get the top end buttoned up from injectors, water pump and balancer in, front stack back in, and wiring harness.
I’ll tow it to a shop to have the down pipe, up pipe, exhaust, lift pump, and a few little things like replace a wheel stud and pull the CV shafts. Depending how far I get the front stack might have to be something for the shop too.
Oh and maybe pay them to flash the programming too
