If they are good, it's worth it... Especially if they are matching up everything and testing everything as opposed to just tanking and boring the block.

your comment made me think of this:

"You got to know when to hold 'em; know when to fold 'em.
"Know when to walk away; know when to run.
kinda fits working in the shop ...
Only one problem with that: That's not Johnny Cash. Kenny Rogers sang "The Gambler."
But the man in black did sing about drilling it out so that it would fit, and with a little bit of help from an A-dapt-a kit....
Carry on. I like what I see in the rebuilt kit. Definitely time to take a break any time you get frustrated. Seems to work just about every time.
And the paint marker is a very good tip.

Even when doing a head gasket on one of these trucks it's always recommended to run the thickest stock head gasket.
It may be worth your time to get everything balanced while your in there. You are essentially building a bulletproof 1hz.
I've used my standard outlet for the turbo (from a 1HDT originally) and have no problems with cooling or spooling up a grunter 2 on a 1HDFT engine. A 3 inch exhaust would be nice, but I do not view it as essential at this time.

Just to be sure, isn't the acidity and rust from wvo that hasn't been cleaned enough to remove enough water? I plan on running wvo in an HZ and heard this comes from not removing enough of the water...

don't do it. you hear all the great things about WVO but most don't want to talk about the expensive ooops that come with it.
it isn't free
it is a lot of work
it is messy and makes your vehicle stink
if you forget to purge and the temps drop you are SOL or worse yet spending money on repairs.
i have watched many cruiserheads get on the WVO wagon and VERY few keep using it. it is one of those fads that sound great but in reality ... suck.
your truck, your time, do as you please. just thought i would play the Devil here.
sorry for the tangent.
From what I've researched, poorly de-watered wvo is definitely the culprit regarding the rust. I feel like I've heard contradictory stories on the pitting so I can't really comment on that. Either way, this is all related to whatever the PO did wrong since I've never run wvo/svo in mine. I do run b100 and b50 depending on the time of year, but it's commercially processed so I don't really worry about this sort of thing. Running b100 is also one of the reasons I'm putting money into an IDI and not a DI.
DI engines should have no problem with 100% biodiesel (B100). Once it's processed from WVO/SVO etc to biodiesel the compounds that cause problems are destroyed.
Was enough money saved through WVO to pay for the IP rebuild?
