That illusive #14 bolt....
Oil cooler on. Carter pump cover sandblasted and blacked out. Pretty ECM mount, not so pretty ECM.... And with another man's name on her no less. Knocked in the last 7 freeze plugs. Injectors cleaned and ready to install. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5b8a8ca4ed.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...324b735d64.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...050826c284.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...f0a43b6863.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1a8813286c.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bdd0b1ef2c.jpg Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
It may or may not help anyone, but the CAT exhaust studs I'm using are 10903001 @~$4 each. I will get the spacer number when I figure out what engine they are from 😁
OH yeah, mods can move this to the conversion forum. I guess I will use it as a build thread. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
Wrong # on the studs. 224-5445
Trimmed to up-tube on the coolant bypass to make it fit more accurately. Mounted the water inlet. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0ff06bdecb.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...53ce7a3458.jpg Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
What kind of setup are you going with? Mild towing type build or looking to make big Power?

This is going in the Ferd?

Looks good! :pop:

600hp DD and maybe push it higher.
Short rod 6.4 Stock fly cut pistons D&J valve springs New valve seats ARP head and main studs, flexplate and dampened bolts Sleeved front seal Carillo rods 188/200 hamilton CM849 Reworked 6.7 harness Fleece coolant bypass Fleece 750 IP Used 90hp injectors SFI flex plate. BD triple disc DTT 47RE Modified stock valve cover Stock intercooler Mishimoto rad. Billet 63X68 from Zachezious Faylor Stock 24V manifold with Cera cote, and the ports on the head are ceracoted Manton pushrods Bunch of hard parts from Mumau Twins and injectors after I figure out where I want the power to be. Probably hang a 480 under the 63 with lots of gating. Yeah, for the Ford (Trashpanda) Mitch. Long to do list... I still want to build a speed signal buffer for engine speed. I know guys are selling them, but I can't bring myself to pay them. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
That's more serious than I thought, Awesome! Being stock rod and piston is the block decked? I've only played with 5.9 and haven't kept up with how it's done.

Rod length, not stock rods, is it 6.7 bore destroyed?
|
Destroked

You've got it. Block is decked. Stock length rods.

So, I got ahead of myself. Installed the overhead without injectors. I stopped myself before I torqued and adjusted everything. #CATtechnicianproblemshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...cfcbb5248a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e0ff37a4ef.jpg

Aaaahhh you and your hub porn.
I had no idea where the bracket went. I can look at an 06 tomorrow. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
OK. So question of the day, and it's going to highlight the obvious.
I haven't degreed my cam. I'm going to have to. Anyway, I'm checking piston to valve clearance with a dial indicator. (head is already installed) I set TDC with a dial indicator through the injector bore. Checking PTV with the dial indicator on intake #1, I have 0.115". 0.100" valve reliefs. My question is, there is 0.015" piston to head clearance? I know I should have checked all this before hand, but I was being a dick. Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
I shouldn't post **** like this early in the morning.....

Inching along.
Degreed cam, installed injectors, adjusted valves, cleaned plugs and installed, swapped fan bearing (no bolts to install on engine), installed oil pan (finally). Installed high pressure fuel system. Realized that there is no place on the 6.7 manifold plate for an intake manifold pressure sensor. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a4a296d6e3.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...c6c7d7a2f4.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0d216a97b2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...fca7ddf492.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ed49ff2491.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...822a220076.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...7f5c675c2e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e81287bed1.jpg Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk |
