My heap runs fine Wade. That's the good thing about planning ahead and having a new one built before the old one gives out. Notice i say have one built? I have no interest in building mine, I figure it's best to pay someone else that knows how to put it together properly. My questions are usually pretty general, I don't expect anyone that does it for a living to give me trade secrets. P-pumped 6.7 information wasn't available so that project has taken a while. I didn't go cheap anywhere on this build. Haven't cut any corners so far and don't plan on doing so.
As far as the pins go, i think they are a joke, just like you. I keep them to show other people that they need to be carefull who they deal with.
I've got $1200 in an ultra low mile 6.7 block and head. $1300 for a new crank(motor home engine). $5500 in the head(incl shipping). $3000 for rods. $3500 for pistons(including machine work and coating) gaskets, seals, freeze plugs, etc. About $2500 in cam and valve train(including gears). And about $1800 for a front cover and housing. I think that adds up to about $15800. I bought new turbo's a while back to run with the 6.7, they were about 4500 and 2 new wastegates will bring it to about $5k. That's $20.8K and the new 13mm pump will be about $3500 on top of buying the brand new 887 pump it is being made out of for $1600. That's almost $26K in parts and head work. Haven't even started putting it together yet. :hehe:
Sorry for being a tight ass Wade.
