Too true Rossco, but this one, despite the headaches and twists is what i do for a living, sorting out nightmares and getting stuff done, however am more used to having a team of lateral thinking trades guys to fine tune my path to success. Without them, it just is a series of smaller problems making up the bigger one and takes a bit longer. Off to site for a fortnight tomorrow then its ancilliary services hook up and bleeding the beast. I am going to look at all that extra cabling and might end up clipping most of it and starting again. I have to build an airbox yet so its going to be another busy roster break for sure. My only real potential 'oh s88t' moment is around the radiator to fan hub clearance, as this is a new higher flow water pump with a modified duramax fan blade assy - blades sit back from the fluid coupling, but have seen one guy in a GU having to machine the fins off the front of the fluid coupling to get more clearance. I gave some dimensions to BD of what I know is a workable clearance but who knows if they were listening or not - wont take long to find out though.Quote:

Every single hole that mounted onto the heads. I tried with 'as supplied' and managed to get 4 bolts in, after setting the gaskets and phenolic plates up with all 8 bolts installed with clamp nuts to hold the gaskets down as they went off. I then opened them up from 12.2 to 13.5mm, and still could not get the two front bolts to align so finally went up to 15mm. No idea what the deal was, Bullet was contacted and they said to expect some holes to need opening up, also spoke with BD, most of his fit ok, the odd one needs a chaser. Anyway its all locked down and the alignment looks fine, will see how it runs. Next step is hooking up the hoses etcQuote:

Just wondering what size bolts either of your donks are using? Could very well be wrong but seem to recall reading online years ago that in later models Napstar or AM General maybe designed in thinner bolts somewhere to allow more meat on the casting edges. Very well could have been reading about the P400 girdle bolts though, not intake bolts?

I think they are referring to stud in the girdles. The majority of my 'larger bolts were M10 from memory, but not sure about the crank bolts. I found the US Military download manual really useful at times also. When you get back home Mark, a couple of photos of the Injector pump and cable connections would be appreciated.Quote:

She never stopped the old gal mate, just in line awaiting her time for @matfew to finish home under mezzanine lighting for further leak down testing without headlamps:-)
Truth be known I’m a slacker and are thoroughly enjoying having commandeered the old family stocky GU back after current days bolting fully sic cheapo turbos onto bandaid Acco’s :-)
