Where is everyone #5

Well that sure sucks!! Never heard of a head that couldn’t be surfaced….

 

New injector lines didn't even last a full year. The old ones went almost 30yrs grrr. Got a little pin hole leak in the line. Taking big red to go load

 

That's what I thought but that's what the guy said... I could've misunderstood but he sure made it seem like they didn't have any room to machine em

 

ISX heads aren't worth resurfacing either, and (from my experience) if the block deck needs it, scrap it. I spent 4 years chasing problems, all because I started my build with a junk block and didn't know any better. Coming from automotive, name brand aftermarket parts are equal, if not better than OE in a lot of cases. It's amazing how almost everything I've tried aftermarket on a big diesel has been pure crap, and there's countless shops and suppliers that only care about getting your money. Only 3 exceptions so far. Fill tilt exhaust manifold didn't leak for the 3 years I used it, the PAI flywheel I got is balanced and true within .003" (and $300 vs $1500 oe) but we'll see if it has issues down the road, and PAI oil pan still holds oil 4 years later.

 

When I decided to buy a truck, I should have just bought a new boat instead. I think it would have been cheaper in the long run lol.

 

I'm starting to agree.

 

Was at a laydown yard in Tulsa this week. Look what I stumbled into…. Melton Junk!

 

been there


It’s better than central steel and wire which ain’t saying much but hey at least it’s something!

 

Ive done the same thing

 

This is where the pump stops.
