Gasser Tricks

SPEAKSUP · 11-27-2008, 12:41 AM

Alright so who here has done gasser tricks to their diesel do't care if it's Powerstroke Cummins or Duramax.

For Example

Lightened the connecting Rods Remove the un-needed weight.

Knife Edge the Crank drill it for weight.

Im sure some people have gasket matched their heads and manifolds. Why pay for it?

Lightening the pistons on the backside Im sure you can do this to a diesel.

I can't think of anything else to do. but I'm sure other people have some tricks up their sleeves who's done them and what have you done?

idk if you can do this or not but maybe lighten the harmonic balancer if thats even what its called on these truck. might lose torque though

Well it can be done but just buy a Fluidamper or a ATI Balancer instead of trying to machine it Jsut as worth the money.

how much are they??? you probably could get away with machining the center section a bit. idk about the outside because it reads timing there right?

I have always been to chicken $hit to do any of the above.

Some reason I think your lying?

I'm thinking about tearing the block apart and machine my rods take some weight off them. I think I can take alot of un needed weight off them.

dont the rods bend pretty easy already??? maybe they could be polished so they have less drag going through the oil

Stock Cummins rods are strong as hell if your not spinning 7K RPM yo don't need to worry. Powerstrokes and Duramaxes are a different story.

Well there is a puller in Indiana That has a 2ND Gen truck with a P Pumped 6.7 underneath the hood.

is it just a pullin truck? i was wondering if borin the motor would sacrifice block strength and realiability. what is it 30 over to make it a 6.7?
