Anybody heard of his shop?

Monster12valve · Nov 19, 2013

If this is posted in the wrong section, I apologize. I finally found a shop near me, it is Turner Diesel Performance. Has anybody heard of it? I can't find anything about them, there website doesn't say much. I went and talked to the owner, he sounds knowledgable but talk is cheap. I have never had anybody but myself work on my trucks... Ever... But I am way to busy to tackle the work I need done. Any help would be great.

don't take a chance Look up a shop called ROSEWOOD diesel in Chardon OH ftw.

Monster12valve · Nov 20, 2013

I have already talked to them. The owner told me " if you want a high horse power truck, your going to need to find another shop. If you want a typical 6.0 solution kit installed on the truck, we can help you with that" and they don't o ring heads, "there is no need for them" that's what rosewood said....sounds like They stick to the 7.3. I am debating just shipping it over to MPD if I can't find a local shop that I trust.... $500 each way to ship it is gonna suck though.

Why are you o-ringing the heads?

Monster12valve · Nov 20, 2013

Because my plan is for 600-650 hp on fuel and I would like to spray it on occasion, so I figured o rings will make the truck a lot more reliable then studs alone with spray

Oem gaskets and true flat "decked" heads with proper assembly has been proven on some higher hp 6.0 trucks. Just a thought to save $

Take it to MPD. You won't regret it. They are great to deal with.

^^^^ that right there is some good advice.

Unlimited diesel is about a half hour south of Columbus.

Absolutely no reason to O ring heads at 650rwhp. Just use OEM gaskets and make sure the heads are flat

Monster12valve · Nov 21, 2013

Thank you all for the advice.... I'm o-ringing the heads though... In my opinion if you take the heads off and plan on more horse power.... Why would you not ring the heads... I prefer that extra insurance. I will prob end up just calling MPD and shipping the truck there in the next month or so.

We're about 6 hours from you have a Few customers in the Clevland and Wakeman Ohio area that buy parts and bring their trucks down for work.

I'm pretty sure o rings have their own inherent set of issues. But, it's your engine.

Whs^^^^
Have you talked to mpd and see what they recommend?

Monster12valve · Nov 24, 2013

No I haven't talked to them yet. The truck sees about 5k miles a year, and is strictly a "toy". The truck will see street, strip ( maybe 2-3 times a year) and haul my 7klb camper 2 times a year ( I have another truck I haul the camper with when camping close to home). I have studded every other truck I have owned and never had any issues, and all my other trucks were daily driven and hauled heavy daily.

We aren't but 3 1/2 hrs from you

Maybe somebody with mpd or another shop will chime in a give there recommendation on o rings.

04stroker · Nov 24, 2013

We never use O rings and I'm pretty sure MPD does not either. OEM gaskets and good flat surfaces seem to work great.

Morgan@Midwest Diesel & Auto · Nov 24, 2013

Not a big o-ring fan here either. O-ring heads are kind of an old school thing that were used when people couldn't find any other way to make them hold. Not necessary IMO. But it's your truck.

FWIW we do plenty of 6.0 work, and 7.3 stuff, we just don't get involved with any custom high horsepower builds like what you want.
