Divorced tcase!

This NP 208d transfer case got some new bearings, seals, and a new chain.

Bayou Surface Drive has been accepting some 4x4 work in addition to engine and surface drive work.
I’ve been working on ring and pinion installs, transfer case rebuilds, and suspension upgrades.

When parts are on backorder, these are the types of jobs we deal with!

5 Tips From Mahle About Choosing Performance Pistons

For the guys who ask about pistons, there is NOT a piston that will do it all.
Basic builds will keep a stock dish cast piston.
Full builds will keep a stock cast piston with an altered dish for desired compression ratio.
Forged pistons are used for a specific type of client who wants maximum strength, BUT knows they will need race fuel, and proper warm ups before making WOT passes. This is not for the average guy who hunts every weekend.

Also, not everything you read on "the internet" pages are remotely good advice.

Burning the weekend oil. I’ve been blessed to have this work to support the business and family.

25 EFI built with BSD heads, BSD high lift Cam, BSD custom Tune, 1.5 roller rockers.
8.75:1 compression ratio pump gas motor.

Your going to have that on some jobs.
The spline adapter was frozen to the input shaft.
I had to cut the 4 bolts from the armature to spline adapter to remove the powerhead.
Removing the clutch was a nightmare...My 8” 3 jaw finally gave up after 5 years. I Welded it 3 times and gave up for one evening. I ordered a Beast puller to finish getting the magnet off the crankshaft..
getting the spline adapter off was moreso a chore of how to extract it. My course of action was to thread the holes to accept bolts for the puller to yank that joker out.
Got to love a 2009 in saltwater!!

This Mud buddy 45 mag came in for a service and a carb kit. Well as you can see it had a terrible head gasket leak, a loose intake manifold, scored cam journal, scored cam bushing in the block, ruined thrust bearing on the case cover, dings in the pistons, and no more cylinder crosshatch in the bores.
The crankshaft, and billet connecting rods were the only salvaged parts for the rotating assembly.
So I had to get a new block, cover, BSD cam, BSD heads, milled stock pistons, new rings, and a mikuni carb kit to top it off. This is what’s considered a pump gas full build as it also has 1.5:1 roller rockers.
This build will be a solid setup.

This pro drive came in with a flat lobe on the camshaft, and had “decked heads” with stock valves, a Mikuni.
It’s getting the BSD fix of newly worked cylinder heads, a new .308 cam, a case gasket delete, HD, pushrods, and a proper carb tuning.
Say no to Frankenstein builds!!! This thing is going to be a reliable hunt motor for

Tips for Identifying a Camshaft

This is a general idea of what camshaft you have if you bought a used camshaft.

Tips for Identifying a Camshaft We get this question constantly, guys. "How can I tell what camshaft I have? What do the numbers on the cam mean?" Randy clears these questions up in this te...

I had a great time at the SETX mud run. Call me so I can make your motor run through the slop effortlessly.

I have this engine back together after it came in for a cracked case cover. I also put a DynoCams .308 camshaft to boost the power while it was apart.

Thanks Tod Graham for letting me service and tune up your very nice Prodigy hull with dual 40 HDR’s.
