when we machined the coupler down to fit in the output shaft seal of the 47rh, i failed to realized/think about the fact that the inside of the splined coupler was hollow. so, we had a good seal around the outside.. but fluid could just run right through the middle!!  :facepalm: so.. we pulled the tcase off, cleaned out the tcase adapter and RTVd the 6 bolt round mating surface well. reinstalled the case, let it dry over night. and VUALA.. no more leak. just had to put some more trans fluid in it. but i don't want to drive it any more without having the bands adjusted/inside inspected. new fluid and a deep pan with trans temp gauge installed.

then there are a few oil leaks on the motor. i believe they are all fairly easy fixes. seems to be the turbo drain line to block seal, 2 on the power steering pump (oil drain line and the seam where the PS pump mates to the vacuum pump) and maybe the timing pinn seal. none are spewing.. just oozing. and i'd like them fixed before driving daily.

Glad all the leaks were nothing major. Sure pulling the T case was no fun though.

it actually wasn't to bad with a floor jack with transmission adapter and some 4x4 blocks and a short ratchet strap. just jigged it up, strapped it down and pulled it back apart. not too bad at all.

adjusted the ppump throttle bracket location (supposed to be 5" from center of stud to back of throttle cable bracket where it 'plugs' in) and didn't adjust the TV cable from where it was (which in turned tightened it up..) so the trans shifted like it was supposed to.. or at least according to my dad.. when he drove it up the path the load on the rollback to take to the trans shop. going to get it looked at when the pan is off. TV correctly set, new filter and gasket. deep oil pan with trans temp sending unit and filled back up with ATF.

she's coming together..

i'm traveling back from TX today. been in austin for SXSW with work.. so i haven't even seen it yet. transmission guy called and told me about it 2-3 days ago.

apparently it threw a rod. not sure if it's wrist pin or bearing end.

but i've already got a builder lined up.. so hopefully it'll get started soon. shooting for a solid, reliable, 300-350 hp truck with daily driving abilities and time tested components. only 'upgrades' it will be receiving will be 60lb valve springs, 3200/4k GSK, balanced rotating assembly and the 90hp nozzles that are supposedly in it (going to have them pop tested while it's apart). no reason this one should do anything weird. builder is a local guy who teaches diesel mechanics at a local tech/comm college that i bought some stuff off of last year.

guess that means the engine will get a new paint job.. so that's a plus. hahah

Sounds like how I want mine setup, but maybe a little more with turbo.

Funny how it never was an issue until the tranny guy got it?

he's a fairly reputable guy in town (not a very large city) and knows me from previous work.. so i doubt it was something they did specifically. i can't know 100% that the guy that was driving it didn't do anything to make it mess up.. but i have to have alittle faith in ppl. i'm too young to be to cynical. lol. and on top of that, if it was going to blow with alittle too much skinny pedal.. i'd rather find out now than when my dad was driving it. bc at least now it seems like 'well.. it was going to happen' instead of 'what did we do wrong' ya know?

and on top of all that, we will end up with basically an brand new motor. so i can gripe and complain all i want, but in the end it will be done right. i just have so much in front of me right now it may and to take a seat at the  back until i can get some other things shuffled out of the way/completed. if my engine builder comes through, all i'll have to do is pull it with a fork lift and deliever it one day for head and IP removal/work. and go pick it back up when it's done. slip it back in and fire her up.. we will see how well/quickly that is able to happen..

fingers crossed

... it would be great to find out what caused it though.

my mom went up there to look at it while i was still in texas and when she talked to the guy, he said he was dreading calling me to tell me just bc of how hard we had worked on it and the fact that he had kids/what a crushing blow it would be to hear that.

he genuinely is a nice guy and i'm pretty sure he would come forward if it was his fault. i just don't think there was anything that anyone could have done to prevent it.

cam is in 4 pieces. the 2 lobes in #4 cylinder are independent. leaving the from 3 cylinders connected and the rear 2. hahah.

best we can figure: 1 connecting rod bearing cap bolt backed completely out. which allowed for the cap to 'stretch' apart.. wiping out the bearing. after a couple revs (not many i assure you) second connecting rod bearing cap bolt bent and let loose.. jamming the cap in pass side. the connecting rod pendulumed and when the turbo pressure went in through the intake valve, pushed the piston down the cylinder, allowing the connecting rod journal on the crank to make contact with it, pushing it to the drivers side, and wedging itself in tight. at the same time wiping the cam out.. and making it impossible to move via the harmonic balancer.

we had to pull the pan, jiggle the cam lobes loose (push rods and lifters fell out also.. nearly hitting my dad in the noggin) then using a 2' pry bar, had to jamb it between the DS block and connecting rod bearing journal to pry it against the crank to get it to turn so we could get the torque converter bolts out.

7 hrs start to finish. but it's out and sitting on the stand (sweet score from the 4bt purchase) and awaiting transport to greensboro where it'll be worked on/built

blown motor is at the guys shop who will be doing the tear down/reassembly and the block is being measured at the machine shop for parts to be ordered. hope to have something done by the end of next week.. even if it's just parts ordered.
