I already have a 71. The 71 and 59 should be a pretty sweet set up for stock fuel. May break 600 on a good day.

I'm really not sure. I think Eric from ptp bought the kevlar ones but I'm not sure what the benifits of each ones are. Maybe shoot him a pm.

Update.... Cleaned all the rockers, bridges, rocker mounts, fuel rails, injector harness, hpfp, and injector hold downs with diesel fuel. Wire brushed the exhaust manifold to remove some rust so I can put some high temp paint on them. Pressure washed upper and lower valve covers, fan shroud, left and right battery box. Cleaned oil pedestal, turbo pedestal, starter and ac compressor with brake parts cleaner. Everything was super oily from leaky glow plug harnesses. Whipped frame, fuel lines etc down as well. Hope to stay half way clean while I reassemble the motor.
Also ordered the rest of my gaskets from sunrise. Got final price on some more parts which should be ordered by the end of the week, and I'm still up in the air about the body mounts.
Can wait to get the motor back, it should move along quite nicely then!

Good stuff. Are you going to assemble the engine?

Machine shop is doing bottom end and installing the heads. I will be doing everything else.
How hard is it to get to the middle cab cage nuts? Back seat has to come out? Can't get my welder in good enough to get it from the bottom.

Body mounts ordered... I went with the regular poly ones.
Does anybody know if you have to save the metal parts on the OEM mounts to use with the new ones?

Thinking about throwing some 15% nozzles on while the injectors are getting flow tested... Thoughts? IIRC you can run a lower pulse width tune and they will do fine. I'm all for more low end power then top end.

One of my favorite mods....I love the improvement in spool up and that is still basically smoke free with GH.

You maintain rail pressure with the lower pulse width tune?
Sent from my cracked iPhone using Tapatalk
Yeah, I need to get with GH to so that I can get the most of out it. My 2.3 PW tune only maintains 21500 but 1.9 PW maintains full RP. I don't have any of his tunes in between those PW. I am thinking about a 2.1 PW would be the max that I could maintain.

I guess you have to reuse the metal pieces from the original insulators?
Cknox121
New member
That's correct. Separating the metal pieces is pretty simple. I use a mixture of ATF and rubbing alcohol and poured down around the sleeve. Let it soak about 20 minutes and hit them with a hammer. Popped right out.

Ya I've replaced quite a few with oem. I was just curious since I didn't see any metal in the picture

I'm going to try them out. Hopefully they won't have any negative effects.

Okay so I did a little recon on the body mounts. Factory mounts, the tops are 2 and 1/8" thick. Day stars are a like 1 and1/2" thick. Do the factory ones compress that much?
