Crank flex sounds made up
You don't think there was some excessive cylinder pressure?

Morgan I can actually say I've learned quite a bit from you on here.
How would adding main studs make the block structurally stronger? Your not adding material to the block. In fact it puts more stress on the block, and distorts the main bores.
It's a play on words. Studs will make the "bottom end" stronger, but they won't make the "block" stronger.I don't have enough experience to go off of so bear with me I'm just picking your brain here. I get that no material is being added but it seems that adding a larger, higher quality stud in every sense would make a bottom end a bit more rigid and at the very least allow the bottom end to handle full load longer before it blows. And I assumed that if they had the engine out of the truck it wouldn't be a big deal to get it align honed with the studs getting rid of the distortion.

:lookaround:what other force could do such a thing ? the crank sure as hell has nothing to do with that.
Must be faulty glow plugs....

Rest easy my friend. You're more likely to find John Wayne in a gay bar than see this scenario again.
SDS97-7.3: It's a matter of finger pointing that I simply want to avoid. People seem to be so sensitive these days, and I hate to walk on eggshells, so I choose to avoid that discussion entirely. Too much flinging of poo in this thread anyway. Suffice it to say had we been aware, the problem would have been avoidable when it blew up at dpc and when I was doing the "break in". It's also something unique to this truck that I don't see happening again for Dan, or anyone else for that matter. Rest easy my friend.

High drive pressure is usually a result of poor tuning or a serious exhaust restriction whether its the turbos or something blocking exhaust flow. My guess is exhaust restriction as he said its a very odd issue...
