I appreciate your up dates. I ALMOST wish I was visiting Ca so I could help. But I fled from there 8 years ago the day after I retired from EBMUD. (Pardee dam section)

I cant, maybe a diesel rebuild shop can.

Now comes the hard part.......you need to find out WHY the 4 liners cracked, before you reassemble it. My first guess would be overheating on that bank., or the wrong head gasket on that side used if someone pulled the head because of the common head gasket failer.

S Same here.....the 71 series was the cats meow in my days.. I went looking at the 8V92's and it seems there are a few different type of intercoolers depending on application. one looks easy to set up a test, the other...not so much. Hopefully he finds the source, and its easy to fix.

cap a hose on the outlet. put a short hose on the inlet with a air fitting, then a ball valve, and a gauge, and then pressure it up, with about 5psi, shut the valve, keep a eye on the gauge.

He He can pressure test it without pulling the turbo and blower too.

BT you don't have to pull the pistons at the same time. You have to unbolt the rod caps, then shove the piston out the top. Ive had the liners come out with the pistons sometimes too. theres only a o ring holding it in place. A puller plate at a few thousands under the liner od at the bottom...

Its been 40 years since Ive pulled liners, but I think that you can fab a puller with plate, all thread and pipe if you have access to a lathe.
