Friend has a 250hp 8.3 with different ESN/CPL and different piston numbers. so I'm assuming lower HP less CR hopefully wider bowl as well, really didn't want to drop all the way you mid 15:1 with marine piston
His has flame start on his Engine for cold starting aid... Horse traded for a long block 8.3 that has flame start as well..

Going to put new in then flush the system with a descaling agent is the plan

Been asked about some updates...

Bent the frame on the mutt.. putting new rails in and fixing the back of the cab where the rust holes are near the cab suspension..
Was Quoted ~$1000.00 to bend the framed straight again.. with the amount of pitting and holes that have been drilled into it... It just doesn't sound like a good idea...Bent the area underneath the blue job box/tool box possibly tweaked the crossmember the cab suspension mounts two.. PS rail is bent more than the DS and the gap isn't uniform between the two rails..
Click the image to open in full size.
Picked up another '99 FL60, originally a 5.9(vp44)/6sp 8k/17.5k axles 3.21 gears no-spin locker 186" wb had bud wheels in the front and hub in the back... Front has been swapped to hub pilot

Well, the only upside to tearing stuff up is you can fix/rebuild it the way you want to.

Yeah and no equipment note and repairs are always 100% write-off..
though I was crossing my fingers it would last at least a year or two before I replaced them
