Replacing hardware, not relaxing it
Love me some relaxed hardware
Replacing hardware, not relaxing it
Whoa! Hold it there. STOP!
Are you replacing the freeze plugs in the side of the block? The nearly flat disc type?
If so PLEASE do not install them without reading up. Unless you have the exact correct plugs and tool they WILL fall out or at least leak. Many have fallen out taking the engine out with instant coolant loss. Many machine shops do not know how to install them correctly.
The safe bet is to NEVER remove the original freeze plugs. Every machine shop does it. They are stainless, they dont rot, and MANY times the aftermarkets can fail if not installed properly.
So beware.
I have a method to install them , two hammers. Never has failed me.
If your injectors are not getting rebuilt with new tips they wont be long life.

You have a picture of the fuel preheater ???One part I know exactly what it is, just cannot find it, the other part I am not completely clear as to what I would be looking for. The first part is the fuel preheater that goes through the top of the filter housing. I have been told the frequently leak, and mine is. I have also been told they are easy to find but Ford and International cannot seem to find me a part number.
The second mystery part threads into the tower in the lifter gallery, right in the middle of the valley pan just behind the crankcase vent. Mine is a 1988 F-350 with a1989 engine.
