    Ford Says "Hold My Beer"

    Do you actually have a tank selector valve on your frame though?

    “Need help using my DTI 3300s timing meter on my 6.9 IDI.”

    The guide I use; https://www.oilburners.net/threads/how-to-set-the-timing-on-your-6-9-or-7-3-idi-and-how-to-buy-timing-equipment.91235/page-2 Also if I remember right you're supposed to check timing every 6 months due to break in.

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    I got the pump off, didnt see anything visually wrong with it, but turning the pump by hand, to me it sounds a lot more clicky than I'm used to hearing. For reference I sent 3 good cores to Justin and the stipulation for core credit was they all had to turn over by hand with ease, and they were...

    If you need help running the timing light hit me up, I can only find good directions on how to use the probe, not the light, but I figured out how to use it.

    Is it my alternator?

    The isolator is used for charging batteries on a camper or trailer. The 3g alternator conversion is really simple to do.

    Is it my alternator?

    Maybe on some cars, but not the 1G alternator.

    That's exactly what I was thinking too. To verify it wasn't the line, I even loosened the line at the pump, and barely got a dribble out of it still. When I pull the pump I'll blow air through all lines too, just for peace of mind.

    Just got off the phone with Justin, he said send the pump and injectors back in. He did say that he was having someone else build pumps and injectors at the time mine were done, and that particular individual doesn't work there anymore for....reasons. But he started speculating, there's...

    Yeah, I'll be calling Justin in the morning and see what he wants to do about it. My problem is I need my truck asap to make sure everything is good before I go driving out of state with my camper on it. I really appreciate everyone's help, means a lot to me

    Also, no I did not do anything with the bottom end, just head work, studs and new pump/injectors

    Also, to add, when I busted each line loose, each line did a nice clean spritz outwards, except for #4, it kind of just dribbled.

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    Alright I think I'm getting somewhere. I popped each injector line loose while it was running, see which one cleared out the smoke. #4 is suspect. Matter of fact I can rev it up all the way with waaaaayyyyy less smoke than I was previously. Juuuuust for peace of mind, I dusted off my...

    With it missing occasionally and smoking, timing seems to be about 5ish, but the misfire and smoking is getting me..

    Fresh build, smoke, stumped

    OK so I'm dumb, I'll admit it. I forgot to clean the paint and rust off of #1 injector. Did that, now the rpm gauge on the DTI is reading correctly. Reset the pump back to the stock index mark, because I didnt believe I was 20 out. The throttle cable was at too much of an angle. Now I'm back...

    I went with moose diesel for my in laws truck and Russ stock injectors, but their truck is still stock n/a, and it was pretty simple to dial in. Got it to where it surges at idle, revved up to 2000 and it smooths out, but I got a clean reading finally. I'm 20 degrees advanced. Jesus.

    Old injectors back in. It actually wasn't that bad to do with the pipes in the way. Knock is gone, but still missed when revved up. Also smoke is consistent now. Was able to rev up to 2000, timing seems close to 7 degrees, but with the miss it jumps all over the place. Edit, timing is too...

    Thanks for the feedback. I had high hopes for them, but Russ is local to me, and ive got plenty of spare injectors floating about, I may just send him a set. Fun fact, my engine had mixed injectors. 4 standadyne ones and 4 CAV branded ones that say made in england. Interesting. Rain has...

    Got the new o rings and sealing washers on, and then it just started raining like nobody's business. I hate today.

    Ugh OK I'll get my ass out there and swap them. Good thing I got a return kit from Russ, I have o rings out the ass right now

    The ticking went away when I retarded the timing of the pump. Smoke cleared out a little but its been consistent. I never hooked the timing advance up while I was bleeding air out and doing my initial startup, was planning to hook up after. @Kdo58 I do, and I'm definitely considering it.

    I never removed the gear from the engine, the pump only goes on one way to the gear

    I'd love to do a compression test, but my lovely harbor freight one is broken, and frankly I should probably take a break from bending over this dang engine, its been a long 3 days
