If anyone wants to buy a Superduty set up, let me know. I plan to sell mine.

Sooo....


Ooops.

That being said, I actually did something with the SD4 today!
*cue heavenly music*


Tadaa!
Yeah, okay. So maybe taking it apart isn't necessarily a step in the forward direction, but those will be coming soon enough. Since the cam and crank have to come out to get the cylinders refinished, I thought it would be a good time to snap some pics of stuff that I wasn't able to document earlier:

Main bearings...The pic pretty much explains all.


Rear seal adapter. Unfortunately, my brain wasn't working correctly and I stretched out the seal O-ring when removing the cap. Chalk that up as a big "Damn." Oh well, everything else is looking amazingly clean and rust free for having been stored for a year now. Tomorrow I remove the cam, and test fit the piston rings to verify I'm not going to go over end gap tolerance by boring it out another .002" to 4.007".





Updates tomorrow...

Camshaft: out. I thought I'd snap a couple pics of the SD cam bearings.




This is a good shot of one of the secondary cam journals. Obviously, it's much narrower than the 3 main journals.


This is a good shot that shows just how much wider the main bulkheads are on the block. The journal is recessed very far in.

Does your water pump have a number on it? I am building a S-10 block up, but am running into the problem of the long snout W/Pump. If I could get any info for the pump you are using, it would be most appriciated!.

Sure, if there's a # on the pump I'll get it for you when I get home tomorrow. It's the waterpump in the GM build package, which is supposed to be a high-flow version.

You're the bomb man! I have been researching this pump for about 3 weeks now to no avail. It is shorter than the stock S-10 pump.
