e-bay 6.2 diesel

[85-m1028]

I need a fresh 6.2 and can't afford alot of down time so instead of rebuilding it "I'm not even sure if its a good core because of all the smoke out the crankcase" with turbo and timing gears and poss. low compression pistons, or I can blow the budget on a hmmwv take out and some timing gears and whatever else I need, "radiator hose, oil lines,etc." my question is are these engines worth it? if go this route what should I do to get it ready for the long haul?? heres the one I'm looking at anyone know if this guys reputable? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=33615&item=7986539723&rd=1

The injector pumps on the HMMWV's are 24 volt. That is the fuel shut off and cold start advance solenoids are. I don't know if the civi 12 volt ones can be dropped in place of the 24 volt stuff. The wiring termianls exit in different areas and there may be a difference in the moving parts just below the solenoids. You could buy and install a civi injector pump, which is what the CUCV's have anyway. In regard to weather those engines are worth it, well........ It's a crap shoot.

Yep, you can put a 12v shut off solenoid in place of the 24 volt unit.

Diesel Smoke, Can you transfer the housing top cover along with the two solenoids between the CUCV and the Humvee injector pumps?

Ted has a good rep on the MV list. I haven't bought anything from him though. He may have a few more, he has alredy sold several of these.
