I have a customer with an LML bottom end that's well over 600RWHP. No it's not dyno proven but its proven itself on the pullin track plenty of times now. Has over 20,000 miles on it now. No issues so far. Should be in the 750RWHP range soon.....
LML pistons

whats the difference cranks when it come to ballancing?
do the the LML have a slightly heavier bob weight over the LMM and less external weight?

Accoring to diesel power, the LML crank is lighter, as to how much, I do not know. Wonder if those will break cranks too.
that should make it better for trying to balance a LML rod and piston on a LMM crank?
if any of the guys that have balanced one could help out

I would think so too. You'd drill holes verus having to add mallory.

Just about to pull a unknown LMM down in the next day or so and was looking at just building a good 500RWHP motor so dont really need cut and coated LB7 pistons and dont really want to use the LMM pistons as I have two built motors I might try to keep this a "economical reliable build"
Has any body modified the LML p[istons as in delipped them?

Just wondering if you've seen LML bent rods or cracked pistons. If you have, what was the power level? Just kinda wondering what they are capable of holding reliably, but that's a million dollar question.
Jerrod, I believe you are running a complete lml short block that you built. Is this correct? Or did you stuff the lml rotating assembly into a different Gen block?
Correct, My shortblock is 100% LML. Only mods done to the shortblock were main studs since I already had them and pistons delipped.
Are there any big difference between an lbz and lml block? Or can an lbz block be undressed and fitted with lml parts. Not sure what all parts there are on a dmax short block but I'm thinking of things like oil pump, cp3, CAM, gear train, etc. Thanks for any info.

the LML block is made of compacted graphite iron (CGI) vs traditional grey iron that all of the previous dmax blocks were made of
ok so now the rods all have 1 part number for 2011 and 2012 as in the later assy. but pistons are different for 11 , 4 rights and 4 lefts as prior but for 12 they are all the same number any one know the difference ? can you run the 12 piston in a lbz engine . any one know of rings for the 12 piston besides gm ?
Lmm rod yes, Pistons no. I would use the early LB7/LLY pistons, less prone to cracking. Rebalance the whole rotating assembly. You can't put LML nozzles on LLY injectors, they are different Bosch vs Piezo IIRC.
