Thanks... She puts up with the diesel, so I kept her around!

I'm planning on using the Bosch actually, after reading all of Tom's findings. Not really much price difference either from the GMB. As for rings, I ordered a set of Deves rings, which even have a 2 piece 2nd compression ring. Jim, the owner of Archway spoke pretty highly of them, and used to run them in his race engines back in his off road racing days. Lets hope the quality is still the same. The block is standard and staying that way. It has almost no wear. The rings were totally shot, but the rest of it is nice. As for rods, I found there to be almost no variance in piston height. Kinda a nice suprise from what I have heard Tom finding sometimes. The pistons were all within a few thousands of each other.

Here is a teaser pic of what it will look like. I really like the yellow. I think once its all done it will have a real industrial look.

I work with big cat engines on crushers on work and i really like the engine colour. To hear on a cat engine every day at work with 10" pipe straight from turbo is the reason why i have d24t:D
Nice work with the engine.

My head has had a previousy line bore job. Damn thing has cam bearings. Im gonna have to use my NA head.

Thats interesting.... Haven't seen a water cooled head with cam bearings.

I have always imagined that color would be a good choice for a D24T. Looks great.

Thanks, I think its really going to "pop" in the engine compartment. Especially when I go back to the track with the hood stack. Though with the new engine, I'll be installing a NICE chrome 5" stack on it. Jim, the owner of the shop is going to buy it for me..lol He thinks its great I'm going over there and beating up on the ricers with a smoke stacked volvo!

Nice work Jason!

Very interesting thread. I'm gathering info about the D24/D24T cus I want too tune the crap out of these engines, especially after seeing a D24T benched to 260hk and 310lb/ft on the wheels!

Was thinking on the Nissans RD28T but the choice of aftermarket parts to this car is poor.

Had a 740 Turbo Intercooler with some nice upgrades so i know the 740 well ;)
