Re: Swapping a 69 Chevy body onto a 97 Cummings chassis
So I ordered some parts and they should be here shortly so in preparation (got arp head studs) I pulled the head off the motor....by myself...mistake!! Dang that thing is heavy. But I've got a question now. The number 1 piston is at tdc and just for grins I tried to wiggle it, and it moved! Kinda freaked me out. I've done some reading and I'm kinda thinking it's ok since diesels have greater clearances for the higher temperatures in the cylinders. Anyone have any thoughts? Oh and the parts I got are-
Banks twin ram intake horn and manifold
Attitude adjuster for the p7100 pump
Arp head studs
Last to be ordered for now will be a set of new injectors. But before I buy them I want to figure this wiggle predicament out.
