New to Forum in Calgary Alberta

Saying Hi to everybody. Hope I have some time to be of some use to people. Just rebuilt 2010 6.7 from ground up ( I didn't do the work, I just paid for it) One new piston & salvage sleeve, ARP Head Studs, new bearings, oil pump, oil cooler, exhaust valves, machining, assembly and R & R. Also had to rebuild the 68RFE Trans. Engine failure was caused by oil filter that was overtightened and dented then cracked under pressure.
However, the head gasket was starting to leak probably caused by H&S "HOT" program pushing upto 40 lbs of boost. Not a good idea to run even a "Perfomance" (as Bullydog calls it) or "WILD" (H&S) program while pulling upwards of 28,000 lbs. Lesson learned.

Maybe next time. I'll be in Penticton that weekend as I have a nephew & niece (in-law? Wife of nephew) competing in the Ironman Triathalon. Prolly a good idea to join a club though.
