    Wanted! Engine Core

    WANTED!!!!! 7.3 idi engine - no injectors, Glowplugs, valve covers, IP or any other accessories needed, just the block, heads intake and exhaust manifolds. It needs to be in good shape with good compression around. Asking too much?? I thought I'd try!

    Dyeing Cylinder

    Anyone want to buy this thing?? Just kidding. Any way to bypass this cylinder? I am thinking about pulling the fuel line from that cylinder, put it on a spare injectore I have and have the fuel hised back to the fuel tank. No explosion = no risk of dropping valve and no burnt oil...

    86 F-350 Dually CC 2WD Parting out?

    Either way you cut it, you will be discarding the engin, right?? Well how much for the heads and possibly a piston??? I need heads and a piston, you need a new lower end and IP, put it together and we have at least one good engine! If you will not part the engine, maybe someone could go...

    Dyeing Cylinder

    I didn't have time for the compression test yesterday, I will be getting my brothers help at it tomorrow. I did howeve mess with the timing. I advanced it and the blowby was horrendous! Huge single puffs. I am thinking it could be a hole in a cylinder now. I don't see how rings could let...

    I now have my compression tester and will be attempting to work on the truck tonight. I am hoping to make some good/bad discoveries. Thanks again for all the help. By the way I have put another 2000 miles on it since last time and burnt about 12 gallons of 20w50 in her! Shouldn't this thing...

    Dyeing Cylinder

    no there is not. there is a nice puff coming out of the exhaust valve though. I think the fact that the valve covers are uniform is the fact that it is bathed in a mist of oil coming through the push rod holes???????????? but, no no crud, doesn't make sense, but the exhaust valve is...

    I still haven't received my compression tester, but I took off the valve cover today and here's what I've found. If this is right "Cylinder numbers are assigned 1,3,5,7 on the left(passenger) bank from front of truck to back, and 2,4,6,8 on the driver's side, front to back. Firing order is...

    Dyeing Cylinder

    I would be running it as is if it weren't for the horrible oil consumption. I was asking what to look for with the valve covers off, not the heads. I ordered a compression test kit yesterday and will post my results whenever it comes in. Until then, I huesax I'm stick burning oil like...

    Dying Cylinder? (Same Problem different person)

    way to steal my thunder!!!!! J/K. Any smoke from the exhaust? you burning oil? is your intake coated with oil on the inside?

    Dyeing Cylinder

    Ok, so where is a good place to get a compression tester? I do not have the cdr anymore, it's bypassed to a road draft tube. That tune still had the same pressure with the injector out, so no auction from the cylinder. I now am thinking I have a busted valve that is letting exhaust/intake...

    Dyeing Cylinder

    OK, I checked and the crankcase still has the same pressure as before!!! so, the smoke coming out of the "dead" cylinder injector hole is being created INSIDE that cylinder. So, what does that mean?????? is there a possibility that the oil from the crankcase is getting in somehow and...

    Dyeing Cylinder

    new development...... I went to turn over the engine to get the "soak" out and it was all gone this time. nothing at all in there, so I'm guessing there is some scarring in the cylinder wall or maybe just a hole. Funny thing is this, i went ahead and started it again to see if the...

    What is this spacer on my fuel lines?????

    I will be painstakingly forcefitting it back on then. The line was really hard to get it to reach WITH the adapter. I will probably need to straighten the line to get it back on. Thanks for the feedback, no matter how hard you think about it, real experience will always beat out ideas and...

    Long story, but here goes. I bought this truck about 3 months ago. It is an 89 f250 with a 7.3 idi. the 7.3 is from another truck as it is dated for 1991. I have no idea how many miles, but the engine starts right upon the first turn and has been very dependable. The problem is that on...

    What is this spacer on my fuel lines?????

    Guys. Liquid..... Pressurizing..... Doesn't happen, look it up. The tiny flex in the fuel line would be a bigger factor. And the even more robust spacer would be affected even less.

    What is this spacer on my fuel lines?????

    Umm. That would make since except that the spacer makes that line longer. And my spacer is not where the picture I posted shows, it's on an injector.

    What is this spacer on my fuel lines?????

    I really don't see the physics behind a shorter line messing with timing. Push a stick from one end, the other end will move at the same time for the same distance no matter how long the stick is.
