It has started. Will take time, not sure how fast it will happen. I have legs made up to get it off the floor and I can drop the pan. Local guy has std pan that he will trade for my ESI pan(that won't fit my chassis). Found a couple loose exhaust rockers(like more then 1/8" lash)hope that isn't a cam failure! Didn't make any bad noises while running and had 70# oil pressure. Will investigate that further. My 3/4" IR won't break the head bolts loose, but was using adapter for 1/2" socket. Need to buy a good 3/4" socket and see if that improves the performance. Should have some updates next week?

Looks like you have bolts and not studs and nuts for headbolts, be sure to chase all threads and bottom tap and blow out bolt holes. Terry

The engine was a remain from crank to heads. The plug behind front cover was never put in. Thats what happens sometimes when 2 people are working on a truck. Everything is good after i put the plug in. Its been 8 months no problems. Now i need a new hood for a set forward axle ch613 if anyone knows anyone on the westcoast. THANKS FOR EVERYONES INPUT I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH.

I cant post the picture of my book. So here ot is for head bolts on your tip turbine. Lightly oil the bolt threads, amd washers and the top of the holes in the head. Not the block threads. 3 stages of torque is , 50-125-200 lbft. . I wish i could post the torque pattern. I will try again..

Welcome back Larry. .....Hippy

ok.. good report.. the plug behind the timing cover can leak, I have seen it a few times. It is rare in my experience but possible..
