LML Internals

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

Anyone get there pistons yet? Also curious as to what you guys get I thought Tony or someone had on these apart said the rods an pistons were stronger need to get efilive going an get a lml Cranked up see what it does

I see I started a contaversy (sp?). I'm the one from Duramax Forums who started this whole thing with the LML pistons. Be interesting to see what comes of this.

Not even close.

Not even close.

Sue me.

I've got a customer I'm ordering a set for. What gets me about this is that the oversized pistons are the same price. They come in .25mm, .5mm, and .75mm oversized. Everything I have looked at says that this is the price. I have to make a phone call that should confirm all of this. Details to follow.

Anyone confirm if the LML piston/rod combo will work with the LBZ crank?

 

[Jscherbs]

OR THE lb7 CRANK!!

 

[jbgmc]

I've started looking at more things for the LML vs. the other Duramaxes and there are alot of price differences. Most are with the LML being cheaper to outragiously cheaper. I've also noticed the part numbers leaning away from what the older numbers are that referred to Izusu parts from what I gather. Maybe these refer to the Chinese counter part. :joker:

if all these prices stay this way this just might truly make the duramax the ture LSX of the diesel world.

I wouldnt count on it....

I dont care who made it, a $30 piston is not going to be worth anything in a performance application..

JMO.

I have a complete set of LML pistons and rods. Not much different then LBZ. I don't think the pistons will clear a LLY/ LB7 crank. Nor do I think they are a good cheap built motor alternative. A powered medal rods is a powdered medal rod folks.

If someone really wants them I will sell them,

I was told by a reliable source that the LML engine took a step backwards.

Well thats a kick in the nutts :buttkick:

 

[Chevy1925]

Wow, thats not what i wanted to here

 

[duratothemax]

its [the LML] got enough to last reliably for hundreds of thousands of miles at 397hp. And thats all it needs, technically.

 

[DIESELMAFIAPER.LB7]

Damn that sucks

On edit: didn't the 7.3 powerstroke have powdered metal rods? If so they probably will break at 450-500 HP

you do realize that every duramax in the world has powdered metal rods right.....?

 

[duratothemax]

its not like "powdered metal as a 'material' fails at 450-500hp"

last I checked our engines arent 7.3 liters and they arent made by international.

more like "powdered metal POWERSTROKE rods fail at 450-500hp"

LML rods are slightly stronger than LBZ/LMM rods so we will probably see them hold 700rwhp-ish
