Haha, oops. Proof I'm technically challenged

Well its been a few days, and life gets in the way, but got my engine back from the machinist. While the engine was sitting outside, with a couple plugs out of it, got some water in it and one or two of the cylinder walls froze and cracked out. I didn't think it could be salvaged, but machinist...

Yeah usmc “helped” me out in finding one. Now i have three.

Yes best makes a new production gasket set. If you scroll to the top and look at the sticky g749 parts list, paul has compiled a nice list.

so basically you lost your nuts??! would i be able to con you out of 3 sets of rod bolts??

It fit perfect! Bing bang boom. Done. The only thing I didn’t have and was gonna look at my other trucks was the bracket above the exhaust connections-I’m not sure what goes there. And lastly to finish the job I had to put the spare in place

Well after searching around the web I ultimately tracked down the exhaust parts. I decided even though I had fabricated much of the piping that NOS exhaust parts were a direct fit. Finally a northern excursion revealed some muffler. So the time had come to amputate the farmer exhaust(somewhat...

Nice work! I’m sure you would never overload it...well there was that one time

Nice to see them side by side. What USMC said-would be nice to see an overhaul vid
