Message: [QUOTE="Black 02, post: 1018333, member: 6916"] I truly wish to thank everyone of you. I've appreciated every bit of advice I've been given. This is why I love coming on here. People have offered advice and hands to help me. People I've never met in my life. Says a lot about this group of people. If any of you were/are the SW Washington/Portland area, I'd buy you a beer or beverage of choice. I'll be at the diesel nationals at Woodburn on the 28th also. Thanks again! :thumbup: That being said, I've decided that I'm gonna go ahead and pull the engine out and check a couple things. Dave with Swamps was kind enough to e-mail me back even while on vacation to chime in about my engine. His opinion is that my engine is missing (1) of the (2) oil galley plugs in the engine. He said my oil pressures described are what he'd expect with one plug missing. Thanks again Dave! :bowfast: I've heard more than one person say it as well. Not saying Dave is the only guy to listen to. I'm listening to everyone. I'm still going to pull the LPOP and check the cover, pull the oil cooler and check the relief valve, and then the front and rear cover to check the oil galley plugs. Spending the money I've spent on this thing, I won't sleep right until I check those plugs myself. If nothing comes up in that search, I'll assume a bearing somehow got smoked and proceed from there. I'm really hoping it's one of those plugs. The most definitive solution to a problem. I like that. With all of the crap problems I've had with the engine builder, I just don't trust him. Everytime I asked a direct question about something on the engine, it turned out to be a lie. Used parts, improper installation, and etc etc etc. I don't want to say too much now because this ordeal isn't finished and we still need to settle our differences financially. I don't know how that will all hash out, but that's for another time. Right now my priority is getting my truck back on the road after waiting for an engine for over 12 months. Thanks again for everyone's help. I'll keep you updated! [/QUOTE]
