Greetings! Long time lurker who has a semi restored 89 7.3 IDI for a few years now....this forum has been the best for info for that truck for the past few years, so finally joined.....
I also got a newly aquired 93 7.3 F250 with 369k that has lost some compression on 2 cylinders. I am rebuilding that truck as well, and I came across a NOS 7.3 pseudo turbo....I say pseudo because the injectors and blocks are not turbo, yet this engine has the turbo parts on it. Story behind it is, it came from a tech school in southern NH that got it donated from a trucking company. Sat for years, and long story short, I got it.
So, I have new injectors for it, got the rest of the parts (valve covers, CDR box, crossover pipe,etc) but wondering if there are any seals I should do before throwing this thing in. Also,any other ideas on the history of how this came about, i.e. Navistar putting out early turbo IDIs? The number on the block does not indicate turbo but is close to the numbers that I have read about on the internets....
