Thanks Mark, I have a new stand pipe and the plastic two spring drain valve already. I am going to buy the one piece that BPD has as a piece of mind. The "oil in" valve appears to be not an issue as that's where the oil from the LPOP flows into the filter housing. I guess it's job is to keep the housing full when the engine is NOT running. I think that one will be fine left alone. My "compucheck" is good to go and not leaking. Thanks again guys, project is moving along nicely. B.
So much good information in this thread.

204K mile truck so wondering about lifter and cam condition will be the Boogeyman that keeps me up at night.

Mine had 180k when I did my full rebuild. The cam lobes were scuffed pretty badly, lifter rollers looked ok and cylinder walls had no grooves I could feel but they were definitely visible.

I am up to about 240k miles when I decided to pull the engine for head gaskets. My lifters and cam are in good shape.
Let's keep these old engines going forever. I just hope parts continue to be available. I'd like to run my truck another 10 years if possible; it only has 112k on it but in 10 more years it will have at least another 150k added to that. I like the sound and feel of this engine. Of course, the government may decide its way too dangerous for the planet to allow this thing to continue to be registered, so there's that aspect too.

.gov can KMA! Bunch of swindlers only interested in padding their pockets.
The 6.4 is a more robust block and heads, although it uses the same 4-bolt girdle design, which is stout in either case. Maybe "robust block" is an overstatement. Guys who used the early torque specs for 6.4L ARP studs were cracking the water jackets, and many backed down. Even the 6.0 20mm blocks with improvements in the head bolt water jacket area are still somewhat questionable to higher forces. I know of one guy who cracked the area with his 6.0 block.

I reached 100000 today, but kilometers (62500mls). The truck got at the previous owner with 45000km (28000mls) new HGs, EGR and oil cooler.
I think until in 10 years the policy is so far that they ban these trucks.
Here in Germany, this is a catastrophic development
