yeah but.... how do i know the history of a take out? what about if the block is also shot?

any suggestion on a block? were to get one from a reputable palce? do they come naked or wih crank shaft and pistons ? first tie doing this swap.

definetly i am more inclined to do an engine swap however, i was told by a reputable diesel shop (another friend) that the repair can be done by rectifing that cylinder and inserting a new cylinder sleeve in it

so, now the question here. Repair the exisitng, buy rebuilt, buy a take out? can i install a turbo model in a non turbo truck? what is needed if i go this route?

i have to check into it in the morning. the damage was so big that the valve flipped and the stem punctured and passed through the head. i was removing the injectors today and the piece fell from the hole

Also a possibility, who knows. what i k ow is that i need a solution now. repair or new/rebuilt engine? my friend was suggesting to get a cummins in it but i really don't want to get into that

yes, in your case it is right there, an Allen type bolt. now, it could be mine had a bolt lose somewhere or someone dropped it inside, remember i bought mine as a non runner. probably that was the problem all along and it was sitting in their yard for god knows how long. anything is possible...

not too sure about the screw injestion but more the exhaust valve stuck instead of the intake valve.

i have not found any screws as of yet, but i found the spring of the oil ring stuck to the top and side of piston. definetly the escape/exhaust valve was broken so it does not lead me to screw/bolt ingestion but more valve stuck due to time unused?????.... ingestion and valve stuck would be...

soooooo, not worth repairing?

no, there is only one on the bottom side or driver side. huge by the way

very big,

that actually is the mark of the spring on the oil ring, it was destroyed as well and stuck on top and one side. originally an exhaust/escape valve broke and caused all the damages..

actually i thought it was hydro-lockedd when i noticed the coolant reservoir empty. it was an exhaust valve broken that caused all the damage.

a exhaust or escape valve stem broke and the valve head destroyed the piston. part of the stem punctured he head. checking now what would be the best route of action, a friend of a friend is removing a 6.5 turbo freshly rebuilt to install a cummings, will check price with him.

Surgery

it could be a valve stuck with something and it hit the piston something i noticed when i removed the lifters on the driver side is that none of them had pressure on it while when i removed the passenger side definitely was pressure in a couple of them.

yes, oil pressure was always present . definetly there was water in all the cylinders on the passenger side .

hopefully the timing chain is not the issue hopefully something simple

well, surgery started today at around 2:00 Pm and i have already passenger side head out and driver side everything but the head, head coming out tomorrow. worth to note, all cylinders were full of antifreeze. will report back tomorrow.
