need your help (engine cranking)

[Ground hawg]

Hi Carey, picked up the replacement WARRENTY engine thursday night. unpacked it Saterday morning for the install and found that the casting that the injection pump mounts too is all smashed up( about 5 pieces ).
So shipping this one back on Monday, I'll let you know how long it takes them to send me another one. I was hoping to have this all finished by Christmas. looks like it may spend yet another one in pieces.

Damn. Talk about some bad luck. Glad to hear you've got it figured out though. Hopefully things will perk up for you soon, after going through this again your due to have the HUMMER gods smiling upon you. Before you install the new engine get the casting code off of it to see when it was manufactured. Ideally you will have a block made after 03, if you do another #8 crack should never happen again.

Hi Carey, got the replacement Engine. Everythings lookin good so far. Started fitting it in yesterday. so well have everything up and running in a few days. (just hope this one lasts better than the other one).

Well hope everybody has a great Christmas and new year.
