I just sold the Turbo and included the pyrometer, forget which one I purchased, sorry. I doubt the turbo upgrade had anything to do with the lower end failure. Have no idea how many miles the engine had on it when I added the turbo- when I bought the truck it had been sitting for almost 15...
Looked into fixing it, very difficult to find B engine parts, rebuild kit is $1,500 before machine shop work, crank (if I can find one), etc. Also looked into buying a reasonable mileage 3B but costs are through the roof. Went with a 4.3 GM v6.
After completing a bunch of work on my B-Series Diesel it spun a main bearing (guess I should have started with the lower end!), so now I have the below list of almost new parts for a B/3B diesel:

Yes, I'm interested. A couple of questions - is the OD in good working order? I know the Fairey unit is not particularly strong, and if it was behind a 400 SB Chevy....

duncanm, thank you. I did not replace the crush washers, but nothing leaking. The outlet for the return line I bought to replace my damaged line is on the opposite end of the engine, the new one I purchased has the outlet nipple toward the front of the engine, my damaged one was at the rear...
New member, but have used Ih8mud forums extensively for trouble shooting/upgrades, thank you. I now have an issue I have not found a posting for. I have a 3B Diesel and recently installed one of Keith’s turbo kits (can’t recommend this enough, like a different engine altogether), idles perfecty...
