😮🤩🤩 I wanna see

Money Pit!

it could be timing .. or bad casting.. iv built a lot of perkins diesel engines and if they are not timed correctly they will brake the crank,, so with brings us to the next question TUNNER WAS THERE A TUNNER ON THIS ENGIN... i will not buy a truck that has had a tunner on it ..... put a nother tunnnnnner on it

Do you have a lml drivers manifold? Or up pipe upgrades?

Harmonics on a crankshaft not designed for the loads being applied to it.

I purposely left those 2 bolts that go into oil pan from rear plate. Now I can drop it instead of removing trans for 2 bolts.

The hose shop in my area WILL NOT reuse your old hose. Andrew just gave you a warning video about fire. It's on you now!! Rip rap around your culverts would be a great solution to blockage of crap into the drain. History on Cival War, perhaps a segment once a month might be of some interest. Ultimately Mike, it is YOUR channel so do as you please. I or we viewers will either choose to watch or we won't. I can always skip that video segment or watch it. That's my choice as it would be for everyone. Perhaps views would increase or decrease, until you make that choice, who knows. Good video.

How can you tell if injector cup backed out? Compared to head gasket or something else? I understand you just built your motor so you know what it is. But I'm just wondering?

Come on guy 👌 fleece cupless heads if youre going to build an lb7 thats a must

You must have run out of money doing the diesels and had to step the budget down to gassers 😂😂😂.

Go with an alternate firing order cam. Its amazing that the crank doesn't completely destroy the front of the block when it breaks like that. SBC factory steel cranks typically break at the same point, but the front of the crank usually goes right through the block and you are left with giant paper weights.

All in all, a good video, but never lube the back of your bearings ... they fit tight enough that they shouldn't fall out unless you are pounding on the pistons to get them in and if you are doing that, i'd worry more about a cracked ring. You also do not check any bearing clearances or crankshaft end-play. Just because it spins with a prybar, doesn't mean its going to be ok when running.

Aren't the Duramax cylinders hard coated? How did they hone the coating without ruining it or not doing much at all? Also, just changing rod bolts on the rods will shrink the bores slightly, but not usually enough to make the crank lock up and not turn. Since you didn't check the housing for spec after putting in the new bolts, its hard to say. I'm going to guess the rod was installed backwards and it had no side clearance.

Good job Could you grind the rivits off on the pvc plate to get the sand out ? I would be worried with that sand 😢😮

I have a stock 03 lb7 just intake and straight pipe exhaust 4x4 I want it to drive faster and pull better what’s the cheapest why to go about it ?

What tune do you have on the truck? I just bought a 2011 lml, and it has efi love 5 position tuning. And i wana do a cp3 conversion. Does the exergy pump work pretty good?

great information I'm starting to do the same project finding so much information I thought the rod bolts recommend Streck procedure instead of torque also checking your bearing oil clearance it's a must

"The Right Stuff" permatex. Only silicone worth using. $55 a tube. Worth every penny.

More tape is needed 🎉

😂😂😂

Every 👏 Fucking 👏Time 👏

😂😂😂😂😂

Lmao not edp455

I hate working on duramaxs to the point i legit just turn them away unless it is a newer model to see if anything has improved or gotten worse

😂

I hate working on Duramaxes,,,, but I keep doing it anyway for some reason 🤣

hey bro keep coming up with the good content 👌 one question about how much to rebuild the engine i have a 03 duramax and looking to rebuild the engine I appreciate it if you let me know about how much im spending salutes from California

How much did the machine shop bore out ? And what size rings are you using ? Thanks.

fuel setup?

Badass man

Boy, am I glad you're not doing my engine. Rebuild f line tape no. No.. One little speck in one little hall that squirt tile gonna blow your motor up

Welp, I'd just like to say, this is probably one of my new favorite channels. I ended up binging your entire channel after watching one of your earlier LB7 videos (about to pull the trigger on buying one myself). As soon as I got back into cell service (in BFE currently, watching on my gf's TV) I had to subscribe. Keep up the good fuckin work dude! You deserve way more than most of the other "diesel truck guys" channels I've watched in the past.

As a diesel mechanic for 38 years, that is the worst engine made to this day people buy them because they think the pick up looks good. Need to check the heart stay away from them Duramax they will not change.

Am I able to contact you via Insta?

Will I need a fluidamper if I’m using a Callie’s Compstar crank?

Great Project - I'm sure she found a good home compared to the hard life it had on the farm. Mike

What rear brake lines on the rear end did you use

Can’t wait to see what ya do to the rig . And u have cleanest lb7 out there

Commenting for!!

All black would look sweet.

What ya run ur 1/2 hose from dads or air dog to cp3 ? I saw u deleted ur fuel filter did u delete ficm to?

I'm going the alt fire cam when I fix my crank ('11 lml)

do you delip the LB7 pistons for valve clearance and lower compression? other then that its not needed right ?

👍

I just got done doing the flywheel, torque converter and transfer case on my truck. Wishing I had a lift the entire time. Laying on the driveway sucks major donkey nuts. Especially at 46 years old and not having someone handing tools to you. The up and down part is the worst. 😅

Why didn't you change out the flywheel flex plate for a one piece billet flywheel? How much horsepower is the motor turning?

"Promo SM"

Nice work dude

Did you have any issues with the down pipe hitting the wastegate? I have turbo manifold like that on an want ditch my fender exit and want run full length exhaust
