Well.......it's now official :)

[Monk]

Somebody (me)

Has a navistar 6.5 GEP optimizer long block on route to Roy's place

I'm super exited!!

I'll be in the same class as wolf, possibly able to sit at the same lunch table as the p400/ and optimizer members now? B part of the click, heehhe





Seriously this is soooooooo exiting for me,...can't wait!!

As the progress moves I will log all,

[Monk]

Lol, I'm happy but the overtime I've put in, sucks...kinda like only 8hrs days

[ddgermann]

Hey congratulations Monk!

You’ve been babying that engine for years.

Are you going with the Turbo or N/A?



Life just feels better with a fresh engine...

[Monk]

Ha, thanks it's just going NA for now, but ya I'm looking super forward to it,

Lol, babying isn't even the word.....it's so due, hehe

Haha I'm gonna keep dreaming of the first startup , I'm sure even then there will be odds and ends to

Snug/tighten/ adjust here an there, but yes, I'll be happy not to bleed daily

[whitehumh2]

But sadly you wont be able to sit at the Cummins Table with the Big Dogs! Lol!
 
At least your are getting a new motor!!! I say look for a Whipple Super Charger for that NA engine and see what it can really do!!!

[Roy]

Now all you have to do is get physically ready to work all weekend or more to change the motor. 
PS: is the wife going to lend you her car?? My customer car got sold.

Not sure what's involved in the Cummins conversion but I thought it was 6 coffee cups upside down glued on top of the motor in the straight line?

And then blow a Whistle as you push the pedal down?hehe

No worries..... when the time comes I will think of something.....

I'm starting to lay awake at night thinking about it now.....and yes, I'm sure I'm going to need to put a lot of Band-Aids on my finger before I start

[Monk]

I got an email it was sent, saying it should be about a week, crated and shipped , will be a couple different transport companies just transit,....



WHY DO THEY TORMENT ME SOOOO!! Hehehe I'm going crazy already , dreaming of not bleeding air,hehe

We'll if give me time to slowly build for Roy's end,...ill do many pics,.....except any chinesse secrete installation methods Roy may have,,



You know the kind? , if I see it , then I must die?but the rest yes! Hehe

I ordered some bosh duraterm glow plugs, seems to be super popular in the 6.5 world for never swelling, quality ..

The N/A injectors are coming with the motor as well,.... This way those parts I should have to touch fuel stuff for a while in the future,...

[Monk]

Got a box of bosch duraterms arrive today.
