Try calling UCF they are right up in Carlisle, Pa. I got mine through Asheville Engines, no complaints but probably would go with UCF if i did it again.

How are you doing the leakage test? What numbers are you getting? Try tapping the valve stems with a soft hammer while doing the test. Also have the piston on TDC.

Seeking information on Asheville Engines. I have a 6.0 coming from them but when I look at the Bill of Lading it shipped from TS Performance in Bloutville TN? Also on Asheville Engines web site they only list a PO Box no physical address?? I have a call into Asheville and will call TS Performance this morning. Motor is scheduled to arrive Friday 11/20 so any info before it arrives would be very helpful. Thank you.

Wait so your thinking the block is bad? How was it prepped?

Block was bad got a block from dynamic diesel block had a heat crack in the cylinder. I had brand new heads on the old one and had a buddy bring his mobile machining van and he decked the block and it still leaked even with brand new heads and studs. So I put a new short block in with stage 2 cam. New pistons and rods. And hd lifters. Works great runs like a raped ape. Now I'm looking for a non Vgt set up. But I need to sell my barder 3 and a set of new Fire ring heads.
