OK, well I will tell him that i was wrong with my concern's.. Thanks for the education.. Jojo

I was telling him about the ''Blow torch effect''. I dont want him to kill his new to him truck,

So I have been helping a buddy of mine with questions about his F-450. I have minimal knowledge on that engine. I know they are strong and are good work truck engines.. Well, he got it running good, better than when he bought it. He is 25 years old.. He wants to make a million HP, with it.. I said, just get it to run good, drive it as it is, and work it as it is.. He has a twin axle trailer and a bobcat and a small excavator. He has good skills as an operator.. anyway, He straight piped it anyway.. I told him to be careful, he could burn valves.. He's a Yahoo country boy and will have his 'foot' in at when he goes down the road.. I am trying to advise him to baffle the exhaust. He said to me today that his 'guy' is a diesel guy and brought his scanner to check the truck.. and has done a bunch of these.. So, this is where I have to step back and ask if I am wrong about my opinion on how to keep his 7.3 running for a long time.. 225,000 on it right now, with no knowledge of it's history.. I guess I am checking to see how dumb I am..

He Biden spoke for a few minutes, it was so short you missed it TJC..

there are standard charts for torque specs... just read the top of the bolt and compare it to the chart.. What you have will be in FtLb's and not angular torque.. Metal doesnt lie..

It was so nice to hear from the Klansman.... a whole 6 minutes...

Don't let the Char fool you... It aint burnt.. 195 Degrees ...

mine is homemade and only wood fired. This Damn Yankee tends it and wipes sweat off,, a bunch.. anyway it is a labor of love.. its almost done, 1 more hour or so..

Never toss old plates,, guys like me want them at times.. I need a '48 N.C. tag.. just sayin'..

can you post pics of the issue and such? I have one in y shop, and my knowledge of the END(T) is weak..

Just a little Butt on the smoker.. should be done in 4 hours. Hope you all can find a little joy today, after last night.. Jojo

They only try to kill the good ones in our country. If you have a true message and purpose, and even the solution to U.S.A.. problems, you can bet they will ttry to kill you.. I wonder if ''They'' are from the same group?

truly sad.!!!

AMEN Hippy. !!!!

One or two inches to the left and all hope would have been lost... WTF??? Thank GOD he wasnt hit harder... MAGA !!!

Even Better...... I would love to drive it !! Great Job Bud.!!

not just china, but what about all the soldiers that come in through our southern border, all in good shape with matching hair cuts and outfits???

I'm watching the guy in the white house sort'a speak.. I see that the foreign leaders what him to win this Nov.. No Kidding,,,, they love all the American MONEY that D-Bag gives to all of them, while we fall apart.. The other leaders are very smart..BTW, his questions and answers are obviously scripted..

the interior looks really nice, would love to see the whole truck.

how do you feel about it? it does sound good. yes push rods rotate..

Ceramic lifters are good.. I just dont like how they are easy to crack with a simple mistake like, bumping a lifter when inserting the cam, or when you torque the rocker shafts down and a push rod moves over then ''Snap's'' into place. that shock can crack one. in that case, if you say,,,, oh heck,,, it'll be fine, and leave it. when you crank the fully assembled engine and the roller breaks off, now you just killed the cam, and now you have to take it all back apart, and buy another high dollar cam shaft.. I welcome any and all rebuttle's to my opinion... now if you have the engine out and can tip it upside down, the cam install is almost worry free...

Im really weak when it comes to programming H.P. however, mechanically, the cam key is offset, with the white end facing out, i have put steel lifters in place of the ceramic lifters. As far as turbo and nozzles, i think turbo is the same, and nozzles are different.

I just like to see and hear any good engine rebuild.. However, I repect the passion for specific engines.

I use ''Mypowermanuals .com'' I have bought a bunch of downloads and put them on 2 C.D.'s and in my shop laptop.. I even have one for the E-9..

Sounds good and looks like the valves were dancin good and smooth..
