Almost back together!
 

Ok guys I'm about to go from :sigh: to :happy-dancing: ..... Tomorrow we are bringing my truck down to the beautiful town of Winder, GA to let Bill and Brad yank the engine out and show it some loving.... It's getting studs,Adrenaline HPOP,dieselsite fuel system, injectors and a gtp38r among other things. This isn't going to be a overnight thing but I know it will be worth the wait, especially since I havnt driven the truck in prob 2 months. I will post some pictures tomorrow of it once we get it loaded on the trailer and behind the Dodge that will be pulling it I know I know:notallthere: but that will hopefully be the only time it is behind it haha anyway just posting my excitement lol hope everyone has a good one!

Haha yeah I'm bad about getting sidetracked, i have lots ofmthings that only take a few minutes that have yet to get done! I don't think he left a blanket but then again I could be wrong lol

Wow bud, I can feel you excitement along with my jealousy...lol Should be sweet

ok, usually im always taking pictures but ended up taking 2 lol so heres one of my dually on the trailer on the way down to PHP and one of the tow rig which is my buddies 07.5 megacab.... for as nasty as the weather was sunday morning it sure turned into a nice day

i was gonna say all that metal had to go somewhere, ouch, hows the rest of the head?

The valves got pretty ate up to, I had bought 2 other sets of heads so hopefully the machine shop can make something out of all the parts.... I can't say enough to bill and brad and Cody, I'm sure they will be tired of messing with my junk soon lol... At least I know when it's back together it's going to run like it's supposed to!

At least your new engine will have forged rods instead of PMRs.

:D

My big hang-up at the moment revolves around the kind of usage that spare short block you brought in has seen in it's remanufactured life.......

All of the second compression rings were stuck, two of the pistons had broken ring lands, and the cylinder walls were flat WORN OUT.
