Weight of a PSD engine...
Wet Weight of a PS engine with accessories: 944lbs.
And if you ever want to put it on an engine stand, go with one that exceeds 1000lbs.. LOL
Those engine stands squeal under this weight! LOL!
Had to add pic for full effect

Ohhh man, I would flip my top of an engine went face down! LOL! I will keep that in mind if I ever get the notion to be special and throw a cummins on one! LOL!
The entire time this engine sat on the stand, I was really leary at first, but became comfortable as I went along, however visitors werent too thrilled to see a stand squeak like that! LOL!
They need to put warning labels on these stands: "Warning, if you attempt to place a PSD or Cummins engine on this model stand, rethink the fun you are about to incurr"!

Do the rebuild yourself. If your just doing a stock rebuild then get the IH rebuild kit. It's around $1k, but well worth the $$$ comes with pistons and everything. Get your connecting rods reworked, get the machine shop to check the alignment of the mains(line hone if neccessary), if you have to line hone it then make sure the machine shop tells you what size bearings you need for it, check all clearances on reassembly with plastigauge. You probably want to do all the machine work neccessary before ordering the rebuild kit so you can get the right stuff(oversize bearings, pistons, etc.). Have the machine shop also check the cylinders for being "eggshaped" and bore as neccessary. You might be able to get away with only boring it .010 or if you want to keep stock sized pistons you can sleeve it from the get go.
