They were just gonna wash them, but I asked if they have any better way to clean them. I saw a head there that they glass cleaned, and it looked very new n nice.

walnut shells are used, so is salt, so is glass, so is sand, so is flour.
they use solid CO2 as well... dry ice blasting... no residue from the
media. used a lot for graffiti removal... nothing left but the paint flakes.
glass pellets instead of sand... less aggressive. anything can damage
anything if you don't know what you are doing, but as they are a hone
shop, they probably know what they are about.... as long as you blow
all the residue off after the cleaning process, you should be fine.

Very cool. $50 to glass bead everything. No need to even think about painting if they look new. I'm gonna be close on money to finish it all. Kinda scary. I'm really wanting to send my ficm to Ed. Get that atlas 40 tune. Is that $250??? I just spent $4k at the dealer. I'm in so deep,,,, I don't even know. I need some of that money I don't have to pay back,,, lol.

Hey Anthony,
In the 6.0 Bible, page 8, figure 6, it shows that the engine serial number is located on the left rear corner of the crankcase.
Did you find that there was indeed a number there?
Is it marked into the metal or is it a sticker?
In this photo you posted it looks like there is something there.
Thanks!

It should be stamped. Also if you can pick the walnut shell
would be the better media to clean with. Less removal
of the metal because it's a bit softer and still does the
job. The only time I use glass is on hard ferrous metal.
Did you know that with walnut you can clean and not
destroy it and still clean off paint. I have not used CO2
or soda yet.
If you need a home for the used Cat I could put it to use.
Also looking for a dead or soso fan clutch. That is for the fan override
project I had started.

Anthony, are you actually going to re-use that front cover? Isn't it grooved from the metal that went through and did a number on the oil pump gears?

Oh crap,,,, um, I didn't figure on replacing that. It's at the shop now,,, if I can, I will get pics of it. I'm not sure how bad it is. If there's ANY scratches, does it need replaced???

I guess your situation was that even though you did have failed roller lifters on yours, you were fortunate enough to have been able to continue driving because it hadn't damaged the oil pump enough to the extent that you lost your low pressure oil pressure. I hope I explained it well enough not to confuse you.

No. I understand. I wish I could've got an oil pressure number before disassembly. I just hope to have a long time before any more needle bearings wanna travel in my engine. I'm debating. Gonna have to check my wallet,,,
I just looked back at my pics, I didn't look at the oil pump housing. I think the overhaul kit comes with the oil pump cover. I had scrarches in the cover. And the oil pump, Im pretty confident the injector was my immediate issue, what do you think??? the #3 inj hold clamp was finger tight, Dam,,, I wish I would've paid attention to the front cover. Mike you are freaking me out,,,,,, again. Lol. I'm looking right now for a front cover, preferably without any gaskets. If I get one, that would be my atlas 40 money.

Was it YOU who caused that issue by previously replacing that injector and not having it torqued properly by any chance?
