    I bet you are glad you didnt try to roll this engine over??? It would never have fired, unless of course you love ether.. anyway.. I do like the idea of buying the 237 truck.. If it runs really good and you can drive it, just because.. you'll probably be just fine, then set tis engine aside and re-biuld it, or carefully take it apart and clean the parts by hand, and sell the parts to recover some dough... jojo

    Mice suck !!! down here we have dirt daubers that will build a nest in a bolt hole,, just imagine.. I litterally put plugs or tape over the ends of my hose rolls to keep them out,,, in a bigger hose, they will go up inside, out of sight and make nest, then when I cut a peice of hose to install it, and it doesnt let fluid through........ Damn dirt dauber's.. Thats why I cap them on the rack..

    Bob,,, I have no clue... I know that no matter how many jobs iv'e done, Out of nowhere here come a 'Monkey wrench' ... It's a WTF?? moment for me.. I had the block wokred over at a machine shop, and asked them to press the liners for me, because at the time I didnt have a liner press.. Buddy I don't know, but this weekend, when I have free time,, she's comin' out !!

    there is a dent on the back of the box that got my attention..
  10. Joey Mack
    That was why I came off as an A$$ at first... My gut told me that there are un-safe practices.... Inspecting those boxes is easy, as you know.. and now the story is that they are going to just fix that one... what about the other 3?? I hope 'C' takes a good look at all the info and opinions, and look around the shop with a keen educated eye.. Yes luck kept him upright, but I would like to add that he did good to not lose it also... jojo

    I appreciate you Glenn.. I knew about the .002" crush fit. The engine that I have is a '20 bolt'.. It just baffles me how that one NEW liner got pitted like that. There wasnt any rust, to indicate water was there. and it seemed like it was in line with where a piston ring was, while it was sitting. It did sit for a few months untouched, but I kept it covered and oiled.. Anyway, I may never know.. I do know that before I pull the liner, I will mark block with paint, where the pitting is, and see if there is a defect or bump or whatever, in the counterbore.. jojo

    yeah, X's 4... Gosh I hope they get it right and safe for who ever drives it again.. jojo

    Was the right amount of oil put back in? I really don't know how this could happen after a normal oil change.. did they try to rotate the engine with a bar or barring tool?

    If you end up having to re-build this engine, before you buy the kit,. Specify if you have a turbo or not, and head bolt count for the gasket kit. I'm sure there is a few other things to ask about. They may ask for the current piston part number on the piston.. no biggie, just be prepared.. jojo

    Just like Macks said.. it's that easy..

    Thank you Glenn. I was hoping I could do that... I use a hone on E-7/E-Tech's, to get them cleaned up.. I made a press with steel plates and Threaded rod's, and a short 12 ton bottle jack, and I have a piece of plastic silo liner that is 1/2" thick to put on top of the liner.. I've lost count of how many liners I pressed in with this rig. I was hoping I could use it instead of dry ice. I was concerned about the liner sticking half way in and then i have to pull it out and try again.. Jojo

    Truth is.... I have never been in this spot before.. I buffed it really good, and the pitting is below where the rings will ride, but I have no idea how long it will run with this small amount of pitting. It may run great for a long time.. and because it is an E-6.... I do not have real skills for installing the liner.. I heard about dry ice, but never done it. I was raised on E-7's... I have a liner press for those engines.... when you deep freeze the liner in dry ice, will it just drop in? I bet I would have to move quickly? of course i will have the block clean and ready to go.. jojo

    I dont know Mark... When I had the block done I asked them to press the liners in. They bought the liners... I would assume PAI, But I don't know, and I can't find out.. However, when I pull this liner, I may be able to see a stamping on it..

    Awesome !!!!

    Interesting thought on the pitting.. I am glad that I found it today, my plan was to get the heads on.. Now I have to buy a new liner, and piston rings.. I love losing money... But in the end,,, I need to make sure my engine is correct...
  23. Joey Mack
    Sorry, I was chatting with Bob.. Anyway, what do you think caused the pitting, i'm stumped...
  24. Joey Mack
    it cuts very well, and with ease...

    Hell, my counterbore cutter cost $3000.00
