I am putting together GL 6.2 out the crap I have accumulated ( turbo head studs, ect), I have some 6.5 DB2 with the artic opt.. I am considering installing one on a 6.2, only because of the brand newnest and the harden parts ect.. does anyone know if this will cause some problems and what injector should be used ?

It should work great, You can turn the fuel down just the same as you can turn it up.

But with studs, it sounds like you want a turbo eh?

List number, is it DB2829 or DB2831? The 31s flow more fuel.
it a .31, you understand my concerns? would I just rely on a beef up return or???
The Cam starved of oil because I used to big of feed line above the oil filter on questionable junkyard motor.. motor still but has tick and a air compressor thump to it.. it wipeout the rear cam bearings and the last couple lobes..

The second motor was fine I took it all apart had it check out BTWit was depote rebuilt in 08 @ ft campbell. It had three #6 piston with 4 # 3 ect and mesh match of bearing sizes...10 .20 std ect
took it to a machine shop got squared away

new motor is rehone 660 block all new lower end and polished decked heads ect.. thought it might brandy new IP but the lack of oil squirter is my worry
