It's in good hands thanks for the great deal. Do you know what size injectors it has?

I would try the machine shop Jim recommends. We tore down a 6.0 built by mike smith machine shop and it had ALL kinds of problems. All the valve seals were not even installed right, they were just floating around the valve. All the pistons on bank 1 were cracked in the exact same spot, and parts of the ring lands were cracked, but all were in the exact same spot. 3 rings were installed upside down. The motor only lasted 6 months with a baby cam.
