Whats a complete running engine worth in your neck of the woods? Around here a high mileage but otherwise running but tired 6bt is worth $1,800-2,200 all day long. That's without pump.I can have a properly blueprinted Cummins head redone here for about $700 That's all new valves, springs, and machine work.
Two things can cause this, one most people have heard of is the KDP. The other is the bolts that hold the timing case to the block are just as a concern, they should be removed cleaned and the hole they go into with parts cleaner and then reinstalled with locktight and torqued. This should prevent them of ever coming out, but the only way you can get to all one the case bolts is with the cam removed
Whats the cure to keep them from doing that?
Maybe its just me, but the pictures are not showing?
Yea its set up that way when you post, I always resize the pictures. Also the site only allows you to post five pictures at a time.
I see them now....I see dead head gaskets....they don't even know they're dead! (the Sixth Sense)
They seem about the same size I post, 250k or so. Is there a setting where you need to have so many posts to post??That motor looks great in there.
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.

(the Sixth Sense)Get some quoffee...get ahold of yourself...hmmm. Coffee. Or more colloquially known, quoffee, is a liquid beverage made by steeping the ground up Quoffee bean in hot water, also known as "brewing". This is the primary delivery system for the main nutritional element for Real Men, caffeine. Real Men, consume copious amounts, always black. Black referring to the unadulterated brew, meaning no testosterone sapping cream or sugar. Be on the lookout for a counterfeit version, known as de-caf, in which a the beans undergo a process of removal of the main ingredient, caffeine. Known in many circles as "why bother?" de-caf coffee is akin to hiring a neutered bull for stud services on a ranch.A late 20th century development is an offshoot of the coffee movement in which hoity toity girly men, and women (sorry I repeat myself), create various abominations of coffee based drinks, known as lattes, cappuccino, iced coffee, etc. This has led to the revocation of Man Cards for millions of Americans, and the wussification of our nation. The penultimate evolution of this process is the brewing of Kopi Luwak, or jungle cat excrement. The most expensive quoffee in the world.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kopi_LuwakThis is not to be confused with the super-manly consumption of espresso, a highly concentrated form of self caffination, with density of caffeine delivery estimated at 5x the normal brewed quoffee. Still un reconciled is the manliness of the small demitasse cups in which espresso is brewed.
Mmmmmmm. Quoffee!!!My favourite beverage. Now I do like to cut mine with baileys. I think this is acceptable...correct me if I'm wrong. Now espresso, now there's a whole new level of awesome.I prefer mine in a normal quoffee cup, filled. And that is a super load of carfeine. And heck, where is Ken?
Yes, in reviewing the back of the man card, I do believe there is an exception for Bailey's if the temperature outside is below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.
You guys sure messed up this thread. :shakesheadBailey's+hunting= :)
