I fixed a set of cases where all 4 pins were pushed in. Extract old pins, Use a piece of tig rod as a new pin, weld the hole closed from the other side. It’s not ideal, but in a stock HP scenario it works fine. Big $$ stuff I wouldn’t chance it.
I ask the boss to order 1000 bolts, I get 750, 500 are the right size. Half the time it’s the purchasing department finding “a cheaper bolt”. Gotta make due with what we’ve got. Just pretend you’re working during the Great Depression, then put on my uniform. [emoji23]
As long as I make it not...
Loctite makes something specifically for this. I’ve fixed electric 15HP drive motors for chilled water pumps at work that had sloppy bores for the OD of the outboard bearings on motor. The motor to the right of the red one is one I fixed with that bearing retainer compound.
It’s a cheap fix...
We’re those cases properly torqued? I expected to see all three locator pins pressed in to have bearing movement like that.
I’d clean them up and re install new crank with loctite bearing retainer on the outer races of all bearings where they seat into the cases.
You might have a problem with that model chamber hitting the bottom of the hull. It has a longer drop than the other style wetjet pipe.
I did one of those for a local guy and it ended up not fitting. He cut it and brought it to me to weld so I assumed he tested fitment first. I think he just...
Had a radical cam in it, lots of boost. I’d presume springs failed and dropped a valve.
Pre AFM 6.2 is good! Don’t have to deal with the issues I fixed preventatively on mine.
I just scooped a 6.2 short block a month ago with ARP main hardware, bought some lower compression forged pistons and rods and dropped to the machinist. Going to build for boost down the road. I’d highly recommend the Mishimoto for $450 or so. It’s a direct bolt in for our trucks and install was...
I’ve got a 2018 Silverado 5.3/6L80
DOD/AFM and torque converter should both be changed out. Factory DOD lifters will fail
Along with converter which will wipe out pump and tranny.
Also if you have 6L80 transmission change the thermostat for tranny out to the updated Chevy TSB part number...
