Got engine pulled. Broken oil coolers

Magnum PD · Feb 28, 2016

I'll call them tomorrow. Don't believe ANOTHER rebuild is necessary. Don't have the money for it to be inspected in all honesty.

I would think that would be a "warranty" issue, for lack of a better word.
A check for rotating interferences is a requirement with aftermarket parts.
Aside from good practice.

They were looking at valve clearance but maybe not the cooling jets.

Went by the machine shop and found out that they're closing their doors.

But the owner lives near by and come by the building where engine is at and look at it.

What machine shop did you use? Can't be many places around us that work on diesel stuff is it?

Valley Automotive Assembled it. Jason had Bill, the race engine builder do some work on his motor.

Saw Riff Raff sells new jets for about $85

Ordered oil jets from Riff Raff and bolts for them. Saw a lot of items that I don't see elsewhere. Good site.

Did the builder look at the busted piston? I do like RiffRff the prices are very affordable and great customer service.

Haven't got engine ready yet

Yea I have nothing but good experiences with riff raff. Anyway that piston would have me a little worried, especially with the extensive mods I'm your case. Just seems like it's a weak point that could lead to complete catastrophic failure.

Would have to do a lot to match the others.

Turned engine over, the rods are hitting the jets. I looked at the chipped piston, for me it's not worth tearing down everything for that small matter. Yes I'll get the machinist to look at it and get his opinion. Don't see the cylinder wall scared from damage or damage to critical componets. Just my .02

97f350stroker · Mar 4, 2016

So are the rods going to need machining for clearance of the Jets? You would think they would have checked that during assembly.

Magnum PD · Mar 4, 2016

It's really hard to see them when the two make contact. They're just "touching" but enough to do damage.

Gonna have to modify the jets somehow.

97f350stroker · Mar 10, 2016

Figure anything out?

Don't know what kind of rpms you want to run this at, but that will affect your balance job.
