What is an “In Frame”?

In Frame = get it back on the road asap

Out of Frame = build it better than new

 

That's what it is but it is also done for a used head.

BUT I am guessing Midnight just was looking for general info.

 

Btw... where can you buy a crate motor?

 

If the block is out of the truck you can check bearing clearance and crank end play more accurately for each bearing. On a inframe thats pratically impossible. Why roll the dice on bearing clearance

 

At any truck dealer i bought a cummins in 2014 for 32g New oem. Just bought a 12.7 for 27g oem

 

Is that brand spanking new? Or just someone else’s core they rebuilt?
