Realistic budget of a 2wd -4wd and goodies build

well,....jus twhen i thought i was out..it puled me back in.

No valve cover leaks, everything seemed ok. Coolant filter is in, exhaust sounds AWESOME.

about 15 mins of idling and it starts ******* from behind the balncer again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11


this is what i did last time. It looked like the seal was dunzo. There was a visible groove worn into the balncer, i couldnt feel it with my finger. What cheesed me off is the seal and sleeve i ordered from rock auto...the sleeve doesnt fit anything...WAY too big to go on the crank, and its the exact OD of the balancer soo...ya.

I installed the seal deeper than the old one i pulled out thinkign that might get it off the groove.. Siliconed the crank bolt...Dunno boys.

If i could get a sleeve that fits over the balncer would be nice. I think this is where the leak is. What you guys think? Eating some home made pizza now, then going to head back out. At least I installed the 90 deg fitting on the rad so it wont **** all over the place!!! Im thinking I can have the front end out in abotu 30 mins now.


PS: the injector that wasnt sealing before, i cranking it a bit earlier, doesnt seem to be smoking right now, but when I put a stethoscope on it its definitely louder than the others, has more of a knock to it. When i loosen the injector line the sound of the engine definitly changes. Whats up with that? Engine defintiyl has a shake to it too, never had this on my old setup. Ok ok I admit..I got the injectors a while back from Pepsi cola diesel..

i found this on ebay, but id like to get something from oreileys or napa ASAP tomorrow or monday. Anyone have a part number for this sleeve? I measured the sleeve I got, i dont remebr numbers right now but there is NO way that thing is going on. It is simply much too small. something like 6 mm smaller comes to mind.

think you found your issue...
bet that injector is a leaker.

sounds good tho.

as far as the front seal, take your old one down and match it up.

found auto zone carries the sleeve, made by pioneer hb4155. ill order one tomoro.
Im wondering if i should swap in one of my old ones. they werent kept in the cleanest environment though..

Does someone have a low mile D code they could sell me?

Also-does someone have the intermieate steeeting haft with a GOOD u joint i can buy? Or can i just buy a new u joint (the one near the firewall) for the column?

Honestly, I would see what Russ wants to go through those pcola injectors. Then you'd know what you have. Only potential issue could be how busy he is and how long it would take him.

Personally I would struggle doing all this work then using known questionable injectors when to have them in good shape might cost you $100.

If you (or I, for that matter) have the money now, I'd order conestoga's BBs. But I know I don't have the $ :/

buying 1 injector is a gamble.
our fuel systems depend on all of the injectors popping around the same pressure for them to run good.

this is why everyone here that sells injectors sell a MATCHED kit

The pepsi injectors have about 45 mins run time on em. i got a new injectir for $20 from accurate diesel (MI guy). I dobt have the cash atm to buy a whole new set. Ill try the one and if it sounds better ill roll with it

Ccccoolant filter
