If that is indeed the case, it looks like I will need new 6.5 injectors. Only question now is, injectors for NA or turbo (see my revised Post 18 above).I also think the threads are different
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!

Only with the 1982 6.2 diesel engines, they have a course thread for the injectors. 1983 and up are all a finer thread.I also think the threads are different
Would you be interested in a complete, hot rodded (by GEP) engine? It's never been installed or run, other than on GEP's dyno.My research seems to indicate that GEP is the "Big Guy" in the industry and then there are many other smaller outfits, such as Leroy and Bostic, who are following their lead by either reselling the GEP units or building/marketing their own rebuild units.
Flu, I may indeed be interested. I will PM you with my contact info.Would you be interested in a complete, hot rodded (by GEP) engine? It's never been installed or run, other than on GEP's dyno.
side mount? and I know this is possible anytime in the automotive field, but yes, constant bad luckSorry to hear that your luck can be as bad as mine at times.
Anyway, I have a dynoed, 6.5 still sitting on its shipping pallet in case you're interested.
Because I started this thread I will chime in - Back in 2017 I had planned on purchasing one of Bostic Motors "remanufactured" 6.5 long blocks for my M1028 build, however by the time Jeff got through adding all the extra stuff he said I just had to have, the cost was going to be more than I thought it should be. And most folks who know me know I don't have an issue paying quality money for quality stuff. But then Jeff sorta got on his high horse with me on the phone and it turned me off. Very condescending and arrogant. So I hung up on him. Life is too short, don't need that crap. It was around the same time that LeRoy got ahold of a P400 long block straight from GEP and offered it to me. The price was higher than the whole package from Bostic and there would be no warranty on the P400, but hey - it was a new P400 longblock from GEP. I bought it, and for those of you who have been following my rebuild thread, For the past year or so I have been dressing the engine in preparation of installing it in my CUCV. I am glad I bought the P400 when I did, as I may have gotten one of the last ones forever.I installed the reman 6.5l optimizer longblock from bostic motors after being g talked out of a new one by Jeff. it didnt touch my chassis on my 95 k2500 until october of 2018. installed less than a year and 2000 miles on the reman engine and it throws a rod on cruise control with out ever having put a load in or on the truck! it happened on 9/20 and since engine was recieved 9/14 warranty was up by 6 days and they refuse to acknowledge the fact that it had a defect. the truck is only run in summer so after engine was installed it sat until April. april to September and it threw connecting rods. 6 1/2years experience ase certified diesel tech installed and they screwed me over with a junk engine and wont back it other than offering to sell me another one! Do not buy anything from bostic motors, sounds like a good deal and Jeff is a knowledgeable guy, but they will not stand behind their product and help their customers and are fine screwing them over. I'd buy elsewhere at all costs.
Remembered wrong, it's a side mount.side mount? and I know this is possible anytime in the automotive field, but yes, constant bad luck
