b_g_y,

I would LOVE to find a 6.5 in a yard. Trouble is around here in Denver, those things get snapped up fairly quickly.

And I LOVE the girdle you made. It should strengthen the bottom end a ton...

Still watching. Sorry for the temp hijack. I will stop doing that. MY APOLOGIES.

No worries it is all good info and I welcome info.
[FONT=&quot]I was only worried about discussion becoming possibly more than discussion if you know what I mean.
now off to the parts store to get my seals/ gaskets[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Finished installing the girdle and rear main seal, and replaced the oil pan and valve cover gaskets. And got the injector lines reinstalled. So all in all I got a lot done today though it doesn’t look like it and it may not be what you people are watching this build for but it is important to have a nice tight motor. In the next week or 2 I will be getting a new starter, harmonic balancer and making an alternator mount. Then I will be getting to work on the turbo components. In-between all the work on the motor I have been working on tube steps for the side of my truck witch I will post pix of when I get them finished. Here are some pix of what I did today. [/FONT]

I love the engine paint scheme. Looks really nice and I bet will run even nicer than it looks. Love this build!

No idea on the rubber. Engine is looking good though. Black and OD would have been my choice. Looking at the girdles I was wondering if they effect any windage and oil flow. I am guessing they are down in the oil hanging off the block like they are? Its the little things like replacing seals that will make this a great engine.

When you first said you were putting this in your GMC I was thinking m211. Just a little disappointing.

It is good seeing this apart. A buddy of mine might be pulling his 6.2 out of his suburban soon for a crank and it is good to see it apart.

I love the red valve covers.

Did you paint the intake manifold? On the Harmonic balancer. Is it going to be a stock replacement one?
