K30 with a 6.2

You take them back off? The pics from back in '13 looked good
 
If the block or something in the 6.5 isnt good i have another you can have almost free. it ran fine when i pulled it out, but im about 87% sure it only has 7 pistons still rotating. Still had good oil pressure though.
 
Just seen a factory tack cluster for 150.oo in my local classifieds, looked good but I got one and thought that was a bit high? May be not?
 
I paid 180 shipped. It was more than I usually would give but I wanted it to match my other gauges. If it all goes well I will likely fix up my 79 cluster for either my crawler or my 84 k10.
 
So today I tore apart my 6.5 to see just how bad it its. This is the place a starter should be bolted when a guy sells you a engine, saying it comes with "everything" .

the cylinders were pretty clean but it has the small square pre-chamber cups. One cylinder had a little water in it at one point, cylinder is rusted and head shows corrosion.

This is the improved block, not only because of the smaller out bolt but the cap is much wider and is stepped not being the same height all the way across.

Bearings don't look awesome but not bad. Few groves from dirt and contamination.

This is where you look for cracks, they tend to propagate from the outer bolt hole.

These extra boses are suppose to help you identify the "improved" block

Since we are on the subject, wtf is a precup? I'm assuming it has to do with the indirect injection cuz I never heard about it with my cummins.
 
It is the small chamber the diesel is injected into that also holds the glow plug. Different sizes give you power or economy. Problem is there is no math only speculation. Look up recardo comet. Mine have the tiny square ones for mpg in a chip truck.
 
Just getting acquainted with the thread, and I can't get over Martin's perennial response to every early update. :rolleyes: :haha: :thumb:

Martin

Because you owe me $100.
