6.2 diesel gurus

[bronc3buster842001]

Got the 6.2 ourt of my truck pulled apart. Looks like it had a leaky head gasket for some time. One piston has a broken skirt. The block and crank are in great shape.

So where is the best place to order pistons, bearings and all the goodies.

Will just be a stock rebuild on a poor mans budget over the next few months or so.

Whats a good brand.

Someplace you can return them when they don't balance or are otherwise messed up. I don't know where but EBay won't take them back....

I just rebuilt the 6.5 in my chevy and I got most of the bigger parts (bearings, rings, crank, headgaskets) from these guys.

Little pricey for some things but they'll help you to make sure you get the right part the first time. You can order parts off the website but if you're not completely sure its better to call them.

They're the guys that make that 700 hp supercharged 6.5 right?

Not sure on if they make one with that much power. But they do make a 400 hp twin turbo version, its for a boat though. They have up to 300 hp for trucks. They sell the new AMG engines too.

Yeah, its a marine company I was thinking of, looks like they abandoned the shark references in their names, but they are still out there. they seem to focus on supercharged 6.5's instead of turbos.

Should the rod bolts be replaced.
