    Help narrowing down cause of the tapping noise..

    Yeah it would make more sense that way. But, is the knocking worse when the cold advance is on or no ? Jumper 12V to the cold advance terminal on the IP and if it doesn’t make a difference I wouldn’t expect it timing related. My truck recently started tapping/knocking a little when the cold...

    Help narrowing down cause of the tapping noise..

    Timing might be too advanced, I would check that first. Every time I had fuel knock symptoms they would also happen in park and I could just rev the engine and loosen injectors until it went away. One time I thought I had a fuel knock and was chasing it forever. It would only happen under load...

    2025 i.p. builder discussion

    I guess I had one of those too LOL. I did have CDD rebuild my pump with the 110 specs. No issues with them. But it does seem like they re-sell a lot of stuff at a higher price as their own. But it’s not bad if you don’t mind paying extra and just want a one stop shop for good IDI parts if you...

    Electrical issue

    I believe that’s the power for your glow plugs. Check that you don’t have any shorts on your glow plug relay.

    THSIM9’s 1991 F250 Project

    I just simply removed the waste gate and capped the 1/8” npt port. I got a piece of all thread from McMaster carr to connect to the existing piece that connected to the waste gate and tightened it down on the gate bracket. Grade B7 Medium-Strength Steel Threaded Rod, M6 x 1 mm Thread Size, 100...

    Blow by and Low Mileage Tare Down Questions

    Did you consider maybe it was fuel knock? I had a leaky injector and it was causing me to have a ton of blow by. Not as bad as you are describing though. Also I’ve heard that using PSD rings on these pistons can cause a ton of blow by. Hopefully you didn’t use those. Best of luck.

    Hydroboost Conversion

    So the tensioner took up the slack from deleting the vac pump?

    turbo replacement - clearance issues

    I had the same issue with that intake hat. I found that if you tighten the inside bolt on the y pipe to the passenger side exhaust manifold first, it swings the turbo out and away from the hat. If you tighten the outside bolt first it swings it in. I still needed clearance after that so I...

    Hydroboost Conversion

    Is that a serpentine belt that’s just a little shorter to bypass the vac pump? If so, where did you get it?

    Sounds like you got the legit stuff. I got mine off Amazon.

    Squealing Noise Until Operating Temp

    Sounds like a belt noise like you said. Why don’t you try taking the belt off completely and take it for a test drive and see if you still have the noise?

    Gunson 7708 Timing Adaptor

    Was your injector line stainless steel? My rpm readings would be all over the place once I got above 1200 rpm. Never could get a consistent read. I heard this from other people as well. I changed it back to the original line on #1 and didn’t have that issue.

    Gunson 7708 Timing Adaptor

    Just a fair warning, from my experience, the DTI unit does not work with the aftermarket stainless steel injector lines.

    71415 didn’t work for me, fittings weren’t right on either end. I used 71442
