With the head still on, I removed the Arp studs. I did not have to double nut them because after I made them hand tight, I turned them 1/4 turn clockwise. Inspecting every stud, I can see the Arp thread sealer failure. It looks as if it chemically disintegrated from the coolant. Also was still...

Next I unbolted the Arp head stud nuts and took out the washers placing them on my work bench. Every Arp stud rocked in place after removing the nuts and washers. I identified 5 coolant leaks coming from 5 Arp studs. 3 under valve cover and 2 on outside of valve cover. It is my right to say the...

Using no gaskets, I installed the freshly refurbished Banks fuel pump plate with bung and the almost new mechanical fuel pump with push rod. I will only be doing one side of the motor at a time to reduce dust, bugs and whatever. Removed the passenger valve cover. The seal looked great with no...

Today I decided to not use the rebuilt badger diesel fuel pump for this build. I had to advance it about 1/2 inch to get the motor running right. I figure it was a crap rebuild. Apon further inspection, the badger diesel advance piston was sticking causing havoc on the fuel timing. In the...

Tonight after work I got to play with my new angle die grinder and I cleaned up the Banks fuel pump plate with the turbo oil drain bung. Gave it 3 coats of rust resistant black paint. I also cleaned up the area for the fuel pump on the motor.

Yes you can pregame and install the 4911 and 6.5 injectors on a 6.2. It will run and drive but you will get a lot of over fueling, black smoke and increase your temperatures. More power too! I would personally wait until the turbo is installed before you add more fuel. IMO Before you do...

Step 32. Engine Removal. There are many ways to pull out a motor. Factors may vary depending on if your ride is lifted or not and what you have to remove it with. Since my ride has about 5 1/2” of lift with 37” tires, my cherry picker will not lift the motor high enough to clear the radiator...

Step 29. Motor mount removal. For safety reasons, put a Jack under the motor. You do not want to risk a 700+pound motor falling on your face. Accidents can and will happen. Spray and wire brush the ends of all 6 motor mount bolts until satisfied they are clean. Use a 14mm standard depth...

Step 28. Remove exhaust from manifolds. Chances are your nuts and studs on your manifolds holding the exhaust will be so corroded and baked that you will not be able to remove them without breaking a few of them. Here’s a helpful trick... Get some WD-40 and spray the nuts and studs. Use a...
