Do's and dont's I learned from Blackie.

hey Larry, you want to add my truck to the trial and error tests, i'm leaving for my pre-divorce elk hunt thursday, if you want me to drop my truck off give me a hollar, i gots an oil leak, might be a rear main, but probably just the turbo oil fitting leaking and ending up on the bell housing. If you can get trent to send us the new vvt waste gate, that would be a cool project to test too as well as the core injectors sitting in my office.......could send them out to become 40 overs ....I aint got nobody to tell me no, unless i find me a cute cow elk up on the mountain :joey:

Lets do it. call me later or come by when your out, I know your busy, I am gone from 11:45 to 1:00 but here the rest of the time except Thursday when I am stuck here all freaking day. I will get ahold of Trent today. We need to send the injectors to Guy also.

Another don't.
Don't drop a stainless headstud in the water jacket hole-damn magnet won't pick it up, used some ac dumdum on an allen wrench to get it out. It just happen to be the back lower one on the drivers side

Always put anti-sieze on the glow plugs. They are a pain in the ass to drill out and retap with the head on the truck
In fact, put the stuff on every exhaust header bolt to up-pipe bolt, and pipe to turbo pedastal bolts. I used ARP thread sealer on the manifold bolts going in the head .

When you can while doing other work check the heater alum pipe from the heater core to rad hose down passenger side where it bolts down-the weld breaks real easy and will leave you stuck in a small town on the highway Just replace it with high quality hose and zip tie it so it doesn't rub anything.

Replace the plastic nipples on the heater core pipes before they break off. We cut some copper tubing and bent out the edges to make a tool to remove them eaiser.

Also very important, when messing with dual fuelers if you don't hook up the ground wire it runs full fuel at idle and knocks really bad-huh jewell? Also, when installing twins on an LLY with the egr pieces completely missing 50+lbs of boost will blow your intake pipe out of the intakescared the crap out of Mr jewell. Needed to put the main piece back on to have something to bolt the intake pipe to.:coolspot:

What where you holding it in with? I blew my LBZ pipe out with less than 5psi...

X2...ended up cutting my tab off and welding all around the cracked area then welded the tab back together. Kinda hard to get a tig torch in there....

I thought I was a fabricator and built a small bracket and b olted it to one of the existing holes behind the alt. Probably should have done a better job but it was late and I was beat. For now we just set the rectangle piece back in, bolted it all together and siliconed the crap out of the o'rings. Seems to be holding great right now, seen 52psi and not leaked yet.:thumb: we need a knock on wood smiley:rofl:

Yep, the sound is very scary if you haven't had it happen before-makes you think you just blew your mtr. Jewell was with me when we blew the intercooler pipe off blackie at 40+psi-all he could say was "you can take me back to the office now" i laughed untli it happened at the track under full throttle and then white smoked real bad-then I was the one puckering.
