Hi I'm Gavin and I have an OBSession
I've got an update!!
Had to drop off a 4.7 **** Dodge head at the machine shop today with my boss, and talked to the guy about my Cummins, he told me $847 is what I will owe him when he's done. At first I was freaking out until he told me what that includes...
Clevite Mahle 0.5mm Overbore Pistons that are Fly Cut (if I ever go with a bigger cam) for the valves
Piston Wrist Pins and clips
Piston Rings
STD Connecting Rod and Crankshaft Bearings
Cam Bearings
Full Gasket kit
(and probably more that I forgot)
And that's it. So pretty much what a rebuild kit would run me but with much better pistons. So that $847 is essentially a rebuild kit and the $335 I gave earlier was for the hot tank, deck, sleeve, bore to 0.5mm over, and the pressure test. Paying the guy tomorrow the remainder of what I'm owing him while also picking up the 4.7 head that was dropped off today, and picking up my cummins hopefully next week.
I'll be $1,182 into the block so far but looking good from what I started with. At first I was thinking it probably would have been better to just buy a Cummins with 250k on the clock, but at least this route I know everything will be new internally. My opinion on this build is changing!!
But here is a sexy piston soon to be in my engine! It's beautiful.
