Will just got back from the dealer with the dust shield. This will make a hell of a difference. The tech said that he made the parts guts aware of this piece after one person already went through three engines. But when I talked to them they said go to NAPA for shims.. Makes you wonder..

Do you guys torque the intake bolts or just snug them up. tried torqueing them to 8 ft.lb but the last one broke. Had to take it back off. ofcourse Sunday there is nothing open.

I just "feel" mine tight and have never had a problem but I do use a 1/4" ratchet to keep from overtorquing.

And you should be able to try and crank it without that bolt. You'll need to get all the juices going anyway.

Truck is running. Going to take for a test drive. It is smoking abit of blue smoke but I think that it is just the fuel burning off from all the fuel going in the exhaust before. I hope. Wish me luck.
