    New Torque Camshaft for IDI

    I bought this early last year from Russ Repair to install in my '91 IDI but later decided to just keep it stock original. I am selling it without you shipping back a core camshaft. I want $350 for it. If interested, contact me via email at [email protected] or text to 979...

    '94 Turbo 7.3L IDI oil pump inspection and specs needed.

    Okay, thanks. I guess that one is the one way down in the header and a bit harder to see. I'm not sure how you would test it other than maybe just make sure it's free. Right now I have it on the bench.

    '94 Turbo 7.3L IDI oil pump inspection and specs needed.

    Wow, thanks for the info. I looked at the one I have and it seems smooth turning, clean, and visually okay but if there was anything else I could do before burying it in the oil pan to ensure its health I definitely want to do that too. I checked to make sure my pressure relief valve is...

    '94 Turbo 7.3L IDI oil pump inspection and specs needed.

    I've got my engine short block ready to put back together and want to make sure my engine oil pump is within spec before the oil pan goes back on. Is there a way to check that the existing stock oil pump meets the minimum required volume/pressure? Are there measurements I can take that may...

    That's kinda what I was thinking that my back was telling me. I'm just curious if anyone knew for sure.

    camshaft gear removal tips

    I have to return my camshaft core and to do so means removing the cam gear off the camshaft on my 94 IDI. Anyone on here have any tricks to getting the gear retaining allen head bolt off without stripping out the bolt head? That thing is TIGHT. Heat it up with a propane torch to remove the...

    LUK SMF new flywheel installation questions

    Thanks everyone for all the input. That and the fact the LUK tech rep told me that INA bearings is a subsidiary sister company both owned by the same conglomerate, all made me decide that I'm going to run with the larger face more radius bearing. I'll let you know if I made the right decision...

    LUK SMF new flywheel installation questions

    I bought the LUK SMF conversion kit for both my '91 and '93 trucks and installing the first one in my '93. Looking at the enclosed throwout (clutch release) bearing made by INA, it looks well made but the face of the bearing which contacts the pressure plate fingers (continuously) has a rather...

    Dual Tanks, Switch and Fuel Gauge

    I'm going to replace my fuel selector valve tonight. I am not excited about diesel fuel running all over my face as I do the change. I think I'll unbolt the valve from the frame first and let it hang down while I do the connector changeover to the new one. I guess I'll smell like diesel for a...
