[QUOTE="MeTo, post: 1512935, member: 23681"] A little update, the block and heads will be done the end of June or the 1st week of July. I have not received the measurements or damage (cost) report yet.. The guy is very busy and in demand. The majority of his revenue comes from doing warranty work for the local dealers, show car engines (the Iola Old Car show starts July 12th) and airplane engines. The heads look great. I'm just going to have them cooked and checked. I dropped the timing cover off last week to have the LPOP mating surface, surface ground. There is minor "scoring" between both sets of ports that are about a thousandth or two deep? Having the LPOP wear against an expensive timing cover is a piss pour design IMO. They should have incorporated a replaceable thrust plate. Would anyone have a recommendation for paint? My current plan is to clear coat the stripped aluminum parts and paint the rest diesel dirty bast**d black of course. I thought I would just use high temp black in a rattle can, but I can't find a high temp primmer in a rattle can. Would anyone have experience with the Por 15 engine kit? Por 15 is working great on the frame and what not for 3 years. Here is a list of what I have so far: Clutch & throw out bearing 824.00 (SB 425 HD) Belt tensioner 61.52 Coolant hoses 48.00 Loctite 620 (cups) 16.00 Thermostat housing plate 40.00 Ford RTV 17.00 HPOP hoses 58.51 Oillite Pilot Bushing 8.00 (DIY) Weld in dipstick tube adapter 0.00 (DIY scrap stock) Melling M208 oil pump 105.00 Hayden fan clutch 83.00 HPX fittings 5.00 Extended fuel elbow replacement 3.50 Injector o-rings 61.50 4 gallons Cat ELC 56.00 Sandblast parts 20.00 Needed: Gasket set Injector cups & tool (RiffRaff) Exhaust manifold bolts Clutch fork & ball stud Turbo flange, three 12 point bolts Engine paint HPX hose And lastly, I do know exactly what I have. I researched for a few months to determine exactly what I NEED for how I intended to use it. It just pulls our boondock camper from Wisconsin to the SW desert and National Forests twice per year. I have no need for a pretty or Viagra truck. What I looked for is in this order; reliability, easy to work on, as rust free as possible, manual transmission, std cab, lots of cheap parts available, durable AND a plain Jane with cruise and air. I then searched until I found it, the price was a coincidence. I'm the type who would rather scratch than wax. I'm proud of the desert "pin stripping". [/QUOTE]
