Since I'm taking apart the motor, do I need to worry about marking the timing on the injector pump at all for reassembly? Or should I go ahead and mark it just in case.....

Compared to the passenger side it was. The passenger side #1 cylinder had rust all in it. Drivers side didn't. The passage from the thermostat was the culprit.

Got some more work done on the engine. Today I got the water pump off, radiator elbow, and drivers side head off. This side was muccchhhhhh cleaner than the passenger side smh.

Are you running a turbo? I have a 7.3 with factory. 093 ATS turbo so they should have inconel valves right? Those valves and Retainers are like brand new jewelry for the idi!!!

Is that with maching of the heads also? If my valves check out good I may reuse them or are the stock valves cheap enough to go ahead and replace?

If I'm not mistaken, 91dirtydiesel had an N/A 7.3 idi and he fabed up a turbo kit for his. https://youtu.be/Q4glxVLfwOc

Forgot to add that I bought another 7.3 idi with a banks sidewinder full turbo kit Installed as a donor truck. I plan on replacing my factory turbo on my 94 with it and using some of the interior and exterior parts off of it.

Thank you thank you!!! I wasn't sure on what to use. As for the condition of the heads and block, what do u think could be done to get things back in order? From what I see, there is no sign of cavitation (hopefully).

So I finally got around to getting the motor out (about 2 Months ago) and today I started tearing into the engine. I pulled the passenger head off and found out why I was loosing coolant. The head gasket failed right at the thermostat which caused water to enter cylinder number 1. I've...
I took out the two bolts that's under the cross member and the engine mounts (upper and lower). At first i took the two bolts out and had no luck moving the engine so i took the ones off of the adapter plate. All grounding strap bolts have been taken off. Didn't take off the oil filter i will...
finally found a 4200lb cherry picker to pull the engine with but having an issue with getting it out. I removed all the bolts from the transmission, engine mounts (mounts are still on the engine), dipstick tube, and starter. I got the engine to move past the dowel pins but that's all. Something...
Nah I havent. Should I go ahead and do it before I remove it to check for cracks or anything before I rip into it? Weather has been kinda crappy so I haven't been able to do anything lately
Went out and pulled some more parts off the motor today. Found what appears to be sludge in my CDR valve. Thought i got it all out when i first got the truck running again....apparently not. :confused:
