Mild 6.0L Build Suggestions?

[Matthew Jeschke]

ah crud, I could have used those, already bought them all :/


I am an idiot though ordered 14 wrist pin locks instead of 16 for the pistons. You would happen to have two new locks laying around would you [emoji51]

Summit charges $10 to ship out two itty bitty little locks and they seem to be only place that has them [emoji45]

Sorry I don't. Does the dealer have them? Only good thing about the dealer is you won't have to pay shipping--the only good thing lol.

I dicsovered, summit is packing 14 in one box, 2 in another for the locks haha... It wasn't a mistake, thank god.

My old mechanic buddy said bot to sweat reusing connecting rod bolts... I will double check with machine shop too on bolts.

I have a new problem haha... A case of take truck appart, forget where pieces go. How does the PCM bolt into the engine bay?

I also have to cut into exhaust for wideband O2, trying to figure out best place to put it, driver side or passenger (some ppl say dowsnt much matter where you place it)... Maybe just by rear o2s?

The connecting rod bolts are Torque-to-Yield (TTY). I wouldn't risk re-using them. They can be tightened up to three times for bearing clearance checking.

Latest progress on polishing combustion chambers.

Not sure how far I take this combustion chamber polishing... It is not a mirror finish... Has a little bit of a rough surface yet, all be it ever so slight.

Below is an unpolished... and one that I have polished... can see some traces of the casting but no hard edges or pits.

Looks good! I've always wanted to try my hand at porting, those are 862s right?

no the 317 heads. I didn't want the higher compression.

Gotcha, what are you using for the polishing? I've always wanted to try my hand at it and my 862s might be coming off soon which would be a great time to practice.
