New Project 6.9 E350, what did I get myself into.
Think I’ve narrowed down some of my fuel issues guys. I systematically checked the fuel pressure with the pump on first. What I found out was that the pump would prime and hold pressure everywhere before the IP at around 7 psi. As I worked my way back the pressure really didn’t change. So...- 6moose9

New Project 6.9 E350, what did I get myself into.
Was able to do some diagnosis today, I still can’t find out why I don’t have fuel pressure. I’m starting to think my facet pump took a **** or can’t handle the motor. The first test I did after I resealed everything was: I took a line from a gas can to the pump and with the pump priming I...- 6moose9

aggiediesel01 / genscripter I was able to clean the tanks before I did all my lines. My next step was to reseal my manifold and then pull fuel from a bucket to check and see where the leak/air was getting in. genscripter do you have timing tools by chance?

Little update for you guys, I had a pretty eventful day with the van today. I was able to take the van on the maiden voyage today and start to do some shake down. I started flushing my cooling system at the same time. I got the system filled with distilled water and went to leave, threw it in...- 6moose9

IDI GODS WERE GOOD TO ME! I got oil pressure! I lucked out today and was able to prime my motor in the van and adverted having to pull the pan because I thought it was pump pressure. I wanted to check and see if my pressure relief valve was stuck closed also and this test seemed to work for...- 6moose9

genscripter as always, you’re the man. I appreciate it. Mentally in my mind, I think dropping the pan in the bay can be done (or my mind telling me I want it to work). It actually being done is a different story. As of right now I have my IP on my motor and nothing else is really hooked up...- 6moose9

New Project 6.9 E350, what did I get myself into.
Also was reading this: http://diezelcrazeesidipage.homestead.com/oilregulatingvalve1.html So my thought is to check the oil pressure regulator valve in the rear header first. If it isn’t stuck open (this valve helps regulate oil pressure and dumps the excess back in the pan.) then I’ll work my...- 6moose9

Thanks man, yeah I was thinking either extending it with soft line, I didn’t want do it yet because I’m trying to clean up what under the hood space I have once everything is on. Mainly trying to get it running and home because I’ve been building it at my dads and he’s not a fan of the amount of...- 6moose9

Alright so still haven’t figured out the oil pressure issue yet, gonna let it simmer for a bit and try to solve it next week. Going to try to pump some oil through the cooler and turn the motor backwards then try it. If that doesn’t work going to pull the pan and check the pump and feed gasket...- 6moose9

New Project 6.9 E350, what did I get myself into.
Worked on the van a little bit today, still no oil pressure. Is there anyway to prime the oil system with the motor in the van? Perhaps back feeding the pump since it’s dry. I was going to try rotating the motor the opposite way a couple times. Maybe try pumping oil into the oil cooler from one...- 6moose9

DaveBen I filled it up but I’ll double check it. IDIBRONCO Yeah a little late, I thought to do this right after I dropped them motor in and realized it was too late. Gonna check my gauge, pull the sender unit at the back of the block and put my valve covers later on today so I visually...- 6moose9
