Hello all, I've been a long time reader to this site, seems every time I search google for info this site comes up, so I'm here to enjoy the vast array of knowledge here.

A little info on me, I'm 60yrs old, I have been applying performance coatings for over 15 years as a hobby mostly for local racers, I'm a fitter/welder by trade, I do custom welding for friends, headers, intakes etc...

I have been toying with the 6.5 diesel a lot longer than that, I know they aren't a big HP motor, I just always liked them. I have a back ground in alcohol & nitro motors but very little of that transfers to my specific diesel engine.

I have tons of r&d in these motors and have developed things that have proven to work. The area I'm lacking and not finding any knowledge is cams, this is why I decided to join, to see if their are any knowledgeable cam folks here that may also know about the old IDI engines..

I don't plan to sell anything here, maybe if the subject or questions of coatings come up maybe I can provide info, that's all.

Thanks, Chris

Welcome my friend this is a good site but a lot of guys don’t get on here like they did! I too would like to learn about cam’s I had a guy on here that build’s custom cam’s try to explain it to me I think it just take’s time unless your just a Natural at the art of them.

Good luck
 
I always liked 6.5's, they were a good motor in their day and still work pretty well. I'd take one over most gassers for towing. Wasnt there a 6.5 specific forum out there? I seem to remember reading a bunch of stuff somewhere when I was working on one.

I'm on a few 6.5 forums, they are mostly dead now, very few people post anymore.

Their was a cam guru 10+ years ago that had developed a new cam grind, he wouldn't post any specs for it, and it required the stock cam to be welded as new blanks haven't been found..

I have searched and read countless hours, finding a cam person is easy, finding a cam person that knows the 6.5 well enough to make first hand comments is a different story..

Thanks fellas, I'm very willing to spend the r&d money, just need to find someone that has the right software and the willingness to work with me...
