is it a actual o ring or fire ring when they say o ring? would o ring stand up to the heat?

 

i wonder if this is why i had a vibration at 90-100 km hour? or 1700-1900 rpm? maybe a injector was sticking and or valve not sealing properly.maybe all this overtime attributed to my high egts?

 

The o-ring is actually a piece of stainless steel wire, and yes it holds up to the heat just fine.

results just in from my engine shop. cylinder 1 dropped a valve seat. it knocked a hole in the top of #1 piston.cylinder wall on #1 is scarred a little.cylinder 2-6 are normal looking for a 215,000 km 5.9 cummins. what do you all think?whats best bet? new engine?

 

bulletproof lol lol......i dunnoooo....wow

 

What out there is bullet proof? I have a new motor in the race car that I am going to the track with Sat. Has good parts in it. lots of $$$$ and yes it very well could break on the first pass. Stuff breaks.

I think you have gotten your point across that the dodge let ya down. I say fix it and sell it.

 

lol...fix it...sell it. if i fix it ill keep it

 

Depending on your cash flow, for this I would bore the #1 cyl and sleeve it back to std. If you have the cash then go for all 6 with over size pistons and some head work.

 

i know. ill have to see.

 

Fixed it for ya.

 

Hone it out first and see how bad the scaring is then make a decision on what to do.

 

I thought your warranty was covering this ? U have edge juice and quadzilla, u play u pay. Yes it sucks but u knew the risks..... No?

 

nah in his case, its always something elses fault. Just like the whole time he wanted to blame the high egts on the edge when in all reality it was a hurt motor. I think your best bet is to sale it and buy a geo metro or something.

 

quadzilla? its a **** rail gauge. it dont add power. you dont know ur stuff.
