    Oh $H!T Big Problem

    The timing was set to 9 deg about 4000 miles ago. The engine was running perfect when I pulled it into the shop. It wasn't knocking and didn't have any unusal sounds other than air bubbles coming out the radiator. It sat for 2 months and when I started it up at 15 out side temp it took about 1...

    Oh $H!T Big Problem

    Thanks for the comments guys! Robert, I don't think that it could be cavitation, I've had Evans coolant in there for 40,000 miles. Mel, I haven't touched anything inside the engine untill now, it just turned 140,000 miles. Oldbull8 I might take you up on that, I have to drive to...

    Oh $H!T Big Problem

    Well the head gasket job has just gotten a lot more involved! I just found a crack in the #7 cylinder :puke:-cuss. It has a small crack and a lot of scuffing on the cylinder wall. The #5 cylinder had 1 loose head bolt, and I think thats why it had lower compression then the rest. What I don't...

    Head stud torque

    I just got some ARP head studs (thanks Gary & Russ for the part #;Sweet) and was wondering if these take the same torque as a head bolt of 100 lbs or something differant. I read that the studs require 5 torquings before the final torquing, is that right. Also is there anything I should before...

    I am getting ready to install head gaskets this week and was wondering if anyone has any advice or tips to make things go easier, or anything that I should check while the heads are off. Any and all help is appreciated.

    ATS elbow and downpipe

    Sean, The farthest that I have been into my engine was new valve cover gaskets, and the truck has 140,000 miles on it. Last year I did a moose pump, injectors, glow plugs (that you supplied me with :thanks:), innercooler, turbo upgrades, 5" exhaust, aluminum radiator, water pump, and valve...

    Head bolt question?

    Russ do you have the 7 digit part numbers for the studs and washers? The numbers that Gary wrote I couldn't find anything in the ARP catalog.

    Russ do you have the part numbers for the 6 point nuts, or are the 12 point nuts better?

    Head bolt question?

    I found out that the powerstroke studs won't fit. Here is what ARP said in their email. The studs in that kit # are 12mm x 1.75 pitch. Eight of those studs are 6.625” long from end to end and twenty-eight of them are 6.850” long from end to end. Gary it looks like I will be using those...

    Grill Blankets? Where can I get one?

    Sean here is a picture of mine. I've had it for about 4 years and it's a Lund cold front grille blanket but I think that they stoped making them. Here is the only place I know of some that looks like it, but they only go back to a 92...

    ATS elbow and downpipe

    I got them from http://www.jhdiesel.com/ats_exhaust.htm . They are really nice people. You can get just the outlet housing and downpipe from them no problem. You can use the outlet housing without the turbine housing. Talk with Anthony or Mike, if you want the whole kit it's part 73UKT, or if...

    Head bolt question?

    Would any one happen to know what the head bolt size and thread on the 1st gen powerstroke are? The reason I ask is that a guy told me that head studs for a powerstroke will work on a 7.3 IDI? Has any one heard of this or know weather or not it will work?

    Can I turn up the pump (read for details)?

    I would not touch it untill you get a pyro. It could save you a bunch of troubles down the road.

    Help Air bubbles in radiator

    I figured that the oil cooler had blown an oring so I took it apart and the orings were perfect. So I figured the cooler itself leaked and put on a spare I had and the oil leak stopped.

    Help Air bubbles in radiator

Then start it up later and ran for a minute shut it off and checked the oil. Nothing on the dipstick:eek:, then hear noise in radiator. Took cap off and...

    Big problem, oil in coolant

    This has to be the oil cooler leaking with those compression numbers right?

    Big problem, oil in coolant

    Thanks for the comments guys, I was hopeing that it was the oil cooler, and was most positive it had to be with how good it was running. Here are the compression numbers. 1-430 2-440 3-420 4-400 5-370 6-380 7-420 8-400 Anybody know why 5&6 would be that much lower? This has to be the...

    Big problem, oil in coolant

    Hey guys, I've got a big problem! The other day when I shut the truck off I heard a funny sound, it was air bubbles comming out of the radiator, so I pulled the cap off and there was about 1 inch of oil in the radiator:eek::eek:. It didn't appear to have any coolant in the oil, the oil is black...
