It should work out OK if it didn't hurt the block. I have a Navistar Block that spun a main bearing due to a broken oil cooler line. It came out of a '01 3500HD Power Co bucket truck. I am going to try to have it align honed, and buy a steel crank for to eventually repower my M1009. I have the Banks kit too, and I'm going to drive it with the 6.2 for a while, but I want to build another low compression engine. I built one a few years ago and it was a brute. I was running 18 psi with a Holset turbo. It was in a 8200# C3500 with heavy utility body on it. I can only imagine how an engine like that would run a 5200# M1009.Lesson learned......always use new glow plug. Engine started to knock so I pulled over. The tip of the glow plug was missing when I pulled the plug out. I then pulled the injector out and found only half of the tip inside. The other half went into the top of the piston.
I'm going to try and used parts from the old 6.5 out of the CUCV-II (only 16,000 miles on engine)to fix the "almost new"GEP 6.5 engine in the dually.
Then I will install the Banks turbo kit that I have.
