The restrictive limitations on any crossover is the thermostat. No matter how small or big your pipe is, the point of restriction is the thermostats opening size. 1996 Dual crossover thermostat is about 1 2/32” wide x2 thermostats= 2 4/32” 1995 Single crossover thermostat opening is =1...

Because I have all the parts and thermostats, I will settle this “Which cross over is better” dispute once and for all when I get off of work. I would like to know myself. I imagine it is as simple as simple math. Stay tuned!

I had found this years ago and kept it in my records. Hope this helps. 6.2 torque specs ALL in ft lbs unless otherwise mentioned. Bellhousing - 30 Cam Gear - 75 Cam Thrush Plate - 17 Connecting Rod nuts - 48 Crankshaft Pulley - 30 Cylinder Head (3 steps) 20 / 50 / +90 degrees Engine Mount to...

I really want the dual thermostat coolant cross over. I did a mock up and it’s hitting the the throttle cable plate. I am going to tackle this problem and will post lots of pictures for you all since it is not a common upgrade for the 6.2.

Then installed the three nuts mounting the ip to the timing plate and made sure the 2 timing marks are perfect. Next up, I cleaned up the rear coolant plate covers with a razor blade, wire wheel and brake cleaner. Then refurbished the bolts and reinstalled the plates with the bolts in their...

I finished doing the throttle shaft O-Rings and put the injection pump back together. Cleaned up the injection pump mounting locations with brake cleaner and a paper towel. Got the new injection pump gasket on. I installed the ip and refurbished the 3 gear bolts, added blue lock tight and...

Right now, I am waiting for the experimental water pump to show up. While I am waiting, I decided today to go back to the Fuel Injection Pump woes... First off, after more research I come to find the badger diesel injection pump I bought was actually for a 92 6.2 diesel. It was tuned and...

Glad you guys like it! It seems 6.2’s are becoming a thing of the past and right now more people with a budget are more interested in the 6.5’s Back 10 years ago there were 6.2 threads all over the place and everyone was trying to figure out how to squeeze as much power out of them. It’s crazy...

Comparing the 6.2 water pump plate to the 6.5 water pump plate. The bolt hole pattern is exactly the same just in reverse. I feel kinda bad for the 6.2 water pump because it’s less then 1 year old. Maybe I can sell it or use it for the spare 6.2 motor I have. Hmm.. 🤔 Also the reason why I wear...

Off with the water pump and plate! Wire wheeled the block where the water pump plate went. Don’t forget the holes! Using the angle grinder, I refurbished the 6.5 water pump plate. It was bad and a lot of work!

Then I wire wheeled the oil drain tube and cleaned it with brake cleaner. To try an experiment I added 3 coats of copper spray on the end of the oil drain and then connected it to the turbo. Next I put copper spray on the exhaust flanges. Then I took a step to the auto parts store and picked...

Today after work I went to a friends house and made a deal. In return, he gave me most of his serpentine pulleys, the tensioner, dual thermostat water cross over, 6.5 timing plate and 6.5 alternator. Got home and started cleaning up the Banks turbo. First I wire wheeled all the rust from the...

For shits and giggles I mocked up the HX35W on the Banks Manifold. Woah, this sucker is freaking huge compared to the 6.2! I wish I could have this baby on her but I don’t feel comfortable putting it on a 36 year old motor with such high compression. I guess I could turn the waste gate down...

Then I wire wheeled the exhaust ports and bolt holes, cleaned them with brake clean and added 1 coat of the copper spray. Using my same method to install the manifold on the driver side, I got the banks manifold on. Mind the gap:-) More Power on the diesel page forums mentioned how close the...

Before installing the passenger side Banks Manifold, I cleaned the pyro probe hole threads with a wire brush and then sprayed it out with brake clean. After cleaning you can see a lot of the threading is deteriorated from corrosion, excessive overheating and over boosting from the previous...

To install the driver manifold, I put the correct bolts in just the very ends of the manifold and carefully tightened the bolts by hand without letting the manifold touch the block. Then I installed the rest of the bolts by hand leaving the gap between the head and block. Starting with the two...

Next I wire wheeled the driver side exhaust ports on the motor and cleaned it with brake cleaner. Using the copper spray a gasket, I sprayed the motors exhaust ports 1 coat. To save time and money, I refurbished each exhaust manifold bolt with the wire wheel. Then I added anti seize on each...

Next I flushed out the other side of the motor with the hose and letting it drain out of the water pump. After the whole motor was flushed and drained of all that nastiness, I cleaned the freeze plug hole first with a wire wheel, then Scott’s pad and with brake cleaner. Then I cleaned the...

Addressing the leaking freeze plug, I drilled a hole into the freeze plug, let it drain and then flushed out the coolant with my hose until there was no more green coolant coming out. After the coolant was drained, I used a flathead and hammer on one side of the plug and pounded the side of the...
