My Pete rebuild

[Nostalgic]

I had a page written up, and I guess forgot to hit post before I closed the page.

Yiyito got my turbo yesterday, called me today, and is shipping it out tomorrow. Can't beat the service. I just hope it looks and performs as well as Waterloo's.

The compressor took down some Snap On tools today. The little connecting rod bolts are some hard little buggers that killed every T30 bit I had. Turbo sockets are no match for them either.

Speaking of connecting rods, my wife gave a hand and we swapped out my remaining 3 last night, and pulled the head out of the crate to start swapping plugs. Of course I read on quickserve about updated plugs for the fuel bores (edited: didn't realize at first that they're all 3 fuel - after cleaning the head up, I learned that it's not real complex on the porting - my only confusion is how the water channels intersect the injector cups) on the front and back of the head. 3 minutes until Peterbilt closed, I made the choice to just replace o-rings lol.

I've been looking at my radiator tubes, and decided to just get new ones. Another company that gives great service - B&H Tubes. Ordered yesterday, received today, and polished up this evening. I think they'll look ok?
