    Intake Manifold tophat bolt/stud needed

    Hey all, I did a lifter job and sometime throughout I lost the stud/bolt with threads bored into the center of it that goes into the cross over the intake hole on the intake manifold. It takes it from a large hole and has threads in the center for the smaller bolt that holds the air filter or...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    So what exactly was wrong? And did it happen immediately? Mine buffets out of the intake but not the exhaust

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Well then what could it be? because I replaced the frontmost lifter on the passenger side and the second to the front on the drivers side because I could literally push down on them, what else could it be??? How would I figure out? It's good if it's not a camshaft...that wouldn't be a fun thing...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Well, I haven't been able to get on here the past few days...but after getting it all put back together the jarring around gave me a new problem....return line kit time.. But other than that...it still knocks. Maybe a cam lobe? I don't think it's a worn valve guide because there's no carbon...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Well all the glow plug connectors are off but the manifold still won't come out....it looks like the turbo's in the way, does that mean that comes off too? because that sucks...and do I have to remove the upper coolant hose? By the way, the glow plug connector insulation on 5/8 is totally...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Okay sweet, I'll be doing that after school ends today, getting somewhere! should have the manifold off today and be down to the pan, that should come out rather easy, then down to the lifters. once it's all torn apart should I turn the engine with a breaker bar to the crank to move the...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Well at the moment I'm not removing the heads, just doing lifters because I found that a good amount of 7-3IDI owners had my same problem randomly surface and it turned out to be lifters. So just pull off the glow plug harnesses and then I could slide the intake manifold right out? If so I'm...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    Alright...thanks! Is the turbo pretty straight forward on coming out? I didn't check but I hope it is...and how do I remove glow plug connectors that have broken insulation? That is what I was worried about...because I don't have the money to continue to keep breaking more and more things or...

    Here is what that CHUFF noise in the exhaust means

    So, so far I have the Banks Airbox off, the cai, the passenger valve cover, after the drivers will be taken off too and both repainted:D, the injection pump and steel lines (all at once...a bitch! AND without removing the gear housing so it's still timed), but I have two of the glow but...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    That's what I was thinking...if it happened immediately I figured it had to have been some simple-ish failure on a part of the valvetrain..a collapsed lifter would make perfect sense. It happened at the first cold start of the morning. My lifters always ticked a little....or at least something...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Yea, I took the dipstick mount off today and the fuel filter, got all the cover bolts and nuts off except for one under the wait to start solenoid mount and the one up under the fuel filter...got too dark to work efficiently. Well not auto mechanics, Ag Mechanics....welding and shit......they...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Thanks a ton! No autoshop, but mechancs, which has some auto diagnostic tools in it. I can work my way around my engine better than my friends so I'll try to take a crack at it. SCA is not a problem, I drained and flushed the radiator and engine then filled with Red diesel coolant. I'm planning...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Alright....thank you! Sounds like I have some work ahead of me, but once again, can this happen in a split second? because that's what happened..

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Hah, trying to troubleshoot rather than advertise sale...;)

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Could it happen all at once though? A valve guide going bad? Because I drove it yesterday and it was just as good as always then started it today and this happened. I just don't see how that's possible but if you could explain how it'd be nice to know hah. The engine has to have only 127 or...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Hmm...it was raining, but I don't have the standard air cleaner, I have a banks airbox with a hold air intake going to the slit between the hood and grill. I've had it for a year and water's never been an issue. It is not smoking or doing anything abnormal like that, no exhaust ticking in...

    Valve Seals? Let me know what you think

    Hey, so as said below I have a 90' 7.3idi 5 speed 4x4 with a Banks Turbo, straight piped, propane, tweaked pump, and so on...this morning I turned it on and it sounded like something got screwed up for a second then it idled normal...but there was ticking..a louuuudd ticking, and I drove it to...

    It's a home made setup, short burst. The hoses were all professionally done by a local welding shop though, PM me and I'll put up some pics/info/product list Thanks for the interest though! It does give some more ballsss..

    Parts for my Mileage

    I have 3.55 gears in the rear, and yea 4.5 is pushing it but since I only push it under boost, which it gladly pushes, it'll handle it. 2 psi isn't even noticeable with my truck, I started low and went up from there so I know 4.5 is the ticket.

    Parts for my Mileage

    The thing is I don't have incredible amounts of money to spend on the stuff whenever it has to be done, that's why the DPS one jumped out at me, good power upgradea reasonable price. I get about 15.5 mpg city and have gotten 18-20 highway. And I already stated how much boost I get, and I failed...

    Hey all, so as the signature says I have a 90 250 diesel. I know it has to have only rolled over once on the odo judging by what I've replaced to date...so tell me this With my 1990 7.3 with a Banks Turbo (non-wastegated) at 122,500 miles, what should I be worried about replacing soon? It was...

    Cowl Drains?

    I couldn't get in there with screws and washers though, remember, my truck is all in one piece LOL, same with rivets

    Cowl Drains?

    Yea, I know about gorilla glue, it holds alot of my truck together...haha The thing is I don't wanna glue them because I may need to empty them again. I ended up doing the drivers side even though I thought it was empty just because I thought what the hell; more shit came out than on the...
