6.5 in my 1028A3

Note to self, ensure rear main seal is installed prior to engine installation. . .

On the bright side, she sure sounds good!!!!!

Doh! Looks like you will be taking the trike to work. Don't drink and ride

I guess the light at the end of the tunnel is that two piece rear seals suck period but boy are they easier to change!

Did you get this engine from CARNAC?

No, it came out of a 97 C3500 I got from GL out of the tarrant truck center in DFW, I had the block gone through and the rotating assembly balanced, then I put it all back together minus one small detail. . .

Pulling the trans and t-case and installing the seal, there is no way I'm pulling the motor out!

The motor I got from CARNAC is going in my daughters 1009 after I fix this debacle. . .

What was the cost for the machine work? I need to have a 2006 GEP 6.5L engine gone through. I just don't have the time to do it myself.

I'll try to find my receipts

Rear main seal installed, amazing, the leak stopped. . . .

I am so happy with this motor, the balancing of the rotating assembly was money well spent, now for the turbo and 4L80E. . .

Warthog, the machine work on my rebuild was right about $900. This included remove/replacement of cam bearings, Hot clean/ shot blasting block, magniflux, 0.03 bore, honeing, final wash, balancing rotating assembly( new crank, new rods,pistons w flex plate and new balancer) He did a great job, piston/rod assemblies were all within 0.5gr. Runs like a sewing machine! If you would like the price on some of the individual work, feel free to PM me, sounds like you might do some on your own.

Bill was right around the same amount, but closer to 1K for pretty much the same work.
