    Backing Faskolor/Createx

    Parma sell Faskoat for backing/sealing the paint. It's flexible and pretty durable if you build up in a couple layers. I've sprayed Pactra over the faskolor to seal it (silver, white or black) and then use the faskoat to give extra protection. Works good for me. Just don't put the faskoat on too...

    K5.9 Tear Down

    Thanks for the welcome. I thought the same thing about it being new because it isn't that used. Make sense? You can still see the cross hatch in the sleeve. So, I tried heating, but didn't help.

    K5.9 Tear Down

    Hi, just registered yesterday. Great forum. I just picked up a used 5.9 engine. I'm tryin to tear it down, but can't get the piston/rod out. Got the sleeve out of the block no problem. When I try to slide the rod off the crank it seems like there isn't enough space. The rod only moves enough...
