Ya, im not arguing with any of you guys. Yall know more than I do. Just doing my research ha. It seems like a good idea, and then you read about all these guys who just do studs and run it and never look back and it makes you second guess haha.
I got quoted $400 to Delip and coat my stock pistons. But if I can get HD ones for only a little more then that makes sense.
Think my biggest thing im not looking forward to is doubling my labor time when I get back. Assuming its quite a job increase to go from just lifting the cab and doing heads (couple days), to pulling the whole engine. Gotta pull everything off and separate from the tranny and all that good stuff. Was kinda hoping to spend a week or less on this build.
Think only additional engine tear down would be just drop the pan and that it aint it? Shouldn't have to pull the bed plate or any covers or anything off?
