either 250 or 265 haven't decided yet

Are you reusing the old studs or putting new ones in?

as of now yes, I have 2 new sets on the shelf, just have to see if they are spoken for or not. These have only been torqued once so I can reuse em...

I did mine at 275 ft lbs

looks like im going to go with 250, should be more that enough with the O-rings......weekend plans

assemble the rest of the motor, replace the oil cooler, polish and seal the coilvoers, and hopefully get them together as well...

its coming alonggggggg!!!!!

powerstrokedkid87 · Jan 20, 2014

got the motor closer to back together yesterday......Heads are back down, fresh powder coat on the rocker box and valve covers, new oil cooler, just gta toss in the new HPOP, put the wire harness back together...then the oil pan comes off for my turbo drain....some more parts headed out to get powder coated....feels good to make some progress...but a long way to go

weekend plans....All new Painless powerbraid wire loom for the truck....entire engine harness will be getting cleaned up and recovered....putting in the new HPOP, and should be getting the turbos and piping out for powerder coating....that just leaves the injectors left that we are waiting on....

know all I need is some shop space so I can get the truck back apart!

Want to do my harness next mawkky mawk?

powerstrokedkid87 · Jan 27, 2014

didn't get nearly the time I expected to this weekend, spent about an hour last night re-doing my injector harneses.....

from what it looks like, this wire loom is really going to clean up under the hood!

befor

after

pictures don't really show how good it actually looks

Where did you get that loom?

Poglife · Jan 27, 2014

I'm assuming you had to de-pin each connector?

Considering he told me it only took half hr to do, I highly doubt that

Poglife · Jan 27, 2014

I got this from summit racing

as josh said, no you don't have to depin anything, its split wire loom, but much much better quality then the standard plastic wire loom. On this harness I cut off the top layer of plastic loom and tape, and recovered it that way I wont have issues with heat.

its going to be a painful process, but will certainly look clean when its all done!

absolutely....not only a pain to get off your hands, but a pain to get off the harness too....reason why I told a half our or so to do 1 harness
