Hey y'all. So, I put off replacing my BEB's for too long, and it bit me in the butt today. I was 20 miles from home and started hearing a strange ticking sound. I limped it to my buddies shop, but it was too late. I pulled the oil pan and found #6 rod bearings had spun, and the crankshaft journal looks pretty bad. So, I'm looking at a full engine rebuild at this point.
What I'm asking now, is if anyone could point me to all the right companies to buy all the parts from. I'm gonna need rod and main bearings, a full gasket set, perhaps oversized pistons and rings, and anything else y'all would recommend. I've rebuilt hundreds of engines, but never a 1HDT diesel. Please guide me. I plan to spend a good few hours porting the head while I have it out, as that is my specialty. And I might just fab up an equal length stainless steel header for the turbo as well. But I don't know where to get all the rebuild parts, preferably from one place. Let me know.
Thank you all in advance.
