Well, thoughts? I just got home and pulled the rear main cap. It was clean with no metal/dirt but I’m not the best at assessing bearing condition. The engine has obviously had fresh oil it’s whole life, no crud or buildup of any kind. I consulted two knowledgeable professionals mechanic...

Sure, I can do that. I won’t be home for several days but I’ll try to remember to grab some photos. The inner fenders and pan are still off so you can clearly see the lines. It’s just SS braided AN line. I used the brass fittings from the block to adapt to the oil cooler flare fittings. No...

Already done, new GM part is sitting on the crank snout. My concern was the small gouges, I assume from a previous repair, that were revealed when removed the old (although it doesn’t look old” crank damper From the replies it sounds like I should be good so long as it doesn’t wobble. The crank...

Yes I understand that. Hence the reason I stated approximately a 30% increase in flow. I was replacing the pump anyway and a local place had the Melling in stock and I’ve had great luck with them in the past. I’ve got the pan off and everything cleaned. The inside of the engine looks great, no...

Sorry, can’t do rides in the C-46. Not after the Collins Foundation crash last year. That accident ruined it for everyone.

I baby this engine with no intent to turbo at this time. I regularly change fluids on either time/mileage. I’m definitely going to clean/change the CDR before cranking it up next time. I use the Diesel Power additive in every tank. Overall it runs well, if underpowered. The truck now has a...

Yes, it is a CW rotation pump for the V-belts. They are very specific when ordering.

Interesting, everyone tells me these balancers are real cause for concern. I don’t think the Fluidampr is necessary, nor does our local 6.2/6.5 builder, in fact he advises against them. He does a lot of HMMWV builds and said they generally have to replace the GM dampers every 40,000 miles or so...

Also, found it near impossible to remove the front seal. Took nearly an hour and I ended up hacking it to pieces before it finally came out. Can’t get the new one in even while tapping it with a perfectly fitting socket.

So I went and drove my truck and noticed a weird feel/noise on shutdown. Fired it back up and the crank pulley started wobbling. I’ve removed the damper and am doing front/rear seals, timing cover seal, HF water pump, HO oil pump, etc.. I purchased a new GM damper. I used the proper puller and...
