I have built a few cummins hot rod engines that turned up to 6500 rpm. I have an extra ldt 465 and getting ready to start a project screamer. I was wondering before I start tossing cash at this if anyone has ballanced and blueprinted one of these? If not then all I can say is it will be a learning experiance. It seems from what I have read that the bottom end is what fails ont these engines. Thats alot of rotaiting mass that is no where near being ballanced. In turn is what wipes the rods out. Diesel engines are about the same whn it comes to inline 6 config. so we will see what happens. I built an 05 dodge common rail cummins engine that dynoed at 742 hp and spun 5800rpm and never had a rod problem. Only exploding turbos. If there is anyone that would be willing to share some info or exchange info I would be greatfull. Thanks
