If that was the original engine in the truck from when it was sold off.... I wouldn't be surprised if the block was cracked from over torque on the head studs. I vaguely remember reading about them being torque to something stupid like 350lbs and having issues with a thread. Lots and lots of stress on the block with that much torque.

I could be wrong. But it's rare. Lol

Swing and a miss LOL

Reread. Original engine it was SOLD OFF WITH.

Maybe check your eyes.

The last engine that was in the frame rails when it was sold from its famous owner on here. Could have made full circle. Jasper does things like that!

YEP no the engine that was in the truck. I still have that block and yes its cracked. Made a ton of passes cracked tho. Little Sealant in the holes and she was good to go. It did have metal in the filter is why i sold as a roller in the first place.

mine was minor honestly. My suspision is it has a bent rod and a piston was starting to rub the skirt

powerstrokedkid87 · Jan 11, 2017

so a little update on this. finally found what i believe is a good used block. should have it up to the machine shop by the end of the week and maybe get a little progress going on round 2

powerstrokedkid87 · Jan 12, 2017

well should have the block in my hands later today. it will be at the machine shop tomorrow. Tyler and Sean from Street diesel Performance are working on getting my other two pistons ready. this used block is going .10 over and going to skip the fill on this one.

happy to finally get some progress on this truck again. April is right around the corner!.

Dzchey21 · Jan 12, 2017

I don't really think you need the fill. Save some money. Hopefully it works better this time!

How did the coating on the pistons hold up?

500 miles, they look almost perfect.

hoping to have some new parts i n the next couple days and start to make some progress getting this truck back together.

powerstrokedkid87 · Mar 1, 2017

Long waited update, Block should be back from the machine shop end of this week, new pistons should be here by the weeks end, looks like we may actually start getting this thing back together over the weekend!
