Do you have a pyrometer and a turbo boost gauge installed? I would ask if the block was machined for the new liners, but you have an aftermarket kit. Were the ledges in the block cut?

We are not picking on you, just that we have seen this a hundred times over here at Rawze.com. Most guys go away in a huff never to be heard from again. You got a hot mess on your hands, as there are few shops that can reliably rebuild an ISX out here with OEM parts. Those aftermarket kits are ten tomes more problematic as they are normally not built to the same specs as the OEM stuff. Wish I had something better to say.

Yes, they had to counter bore it. I had someone come put for that, because my liners dropped as I had a cracked head before the inframe. And I am having one installed due to the turbo and the power that I'm making. I can post a pic from putting it on the dyno earlier this September. No worries, I'll take the criticism. Trying to take the cheaper route is looking now to cost me. Live and you learn. I'm thinking I may need another tune from a reliable shop that I've come across.
