    Glow Plug borescope picture help

    Put my truck all back together, runs again. Working on some issues with indicator lamps on the dash. Every piece of plastic is crumbling and breaking. Every plastic hole in the dash that holds a screw for the instruments, is crumbling and breaking. Does anyone here have a decent dash and...

    1993 IDI Diesel questions

    There is no room to remove this turbo, unless I drop the transmission tail shaft a couple inches, and then remove the right side motor mount. I think my body bushings are smashed thin, and there is almost no clearance at the firewall/transmission tunnel. I have been looking at a 2" or 3"body...

    1993 IDI Diesel questions

    Thanks The_Josh_Bear, I have used a similar cement on my wood stoves, not my truck. I cleaned up the slip fit up-pipe connection, wire wheel on die grinder, plenty of brake clean. I used the Permatex Ultra Copper. Supposed to work up to 700 f intermittent. With EGT going up to around 900 f, I...

    1993 IDI Diesel questions

    Hi The_Josh_Bear, I just saw that you were re-sealing your up-pipe. I have a 93 F350 7.3 with factory turbo made by Garrett. Is this considered an ATS turbo? I was just trying to reseal the Y collector of the up-pipe into the slip fit connector going up to turbo. It just barely goes in. What...

    I fashioned 4 of these thread chasers out of old glow plugs, spent a couple hours going in and out. the threads kept coming out galled. Cleaned with bore brush PB, carb clean, air, etc. Still tight, threads galling. Probably would have worked, if I had used this technique to clear the carbon...

    Thanks TNBrett, I picked up a tap and die today, 10mmx1.0, tried the die on an old glow plug, but the die takes off way to much material. Got the Dremel tool out, made a thread "chaser" out of the old glow plugs, as you suggested. Ran a bore brush down the threads with some carb clean to break...

    Trying to put new glow plugs in, threads are galled on number 8. Just want to be sure. Threads are 10mm x 1.0tpmm? Need to get a tap and chase the threads.

    Thank all of you for your quick replies! Measuring against the other glow plugs I removed, the missing piece is approximately 3/16" long. Hopefully the pieces that went through, were small enough to not damage the turbo. Or, maybe sitting in the y-pipe? Guess I will put it back together, and...

    When I pulled the glow plugs, all came out relatively easy, except number 5. It is an Autolite, as were the others. I can tell the the tip is bulged out. I don't see a fresh clean break, but I do see a carbon build up inside the broken injector (see attached photo). There is a little bit of...

    Ford publication for 7.3 idi turbo - with overhaul info

    This is awesome, thank you for posting. Mine has the slip fit up-pipe fittings, without the "Marmon Clamps". Just got to beat and twist them apart. The down-pipe has a sleeve type connection at the transmission cross member, that has to be removed, before the outlet pipe can be twisted and...

    I found some pictures on this site, that were posted by ToughOldFord back in Februay 2014 https://www.oilburners.net/threads/cracked-injection-cup.67940/ I hope that I do not violate protocol on this forum, by re-posting his photos on this thread. Just using them for reference. I appreciate his...

    Got the new borescope today. Unfortunately, no glow plug tip in sight. Must have fallen into the cylinder already. Going to pull off the intake, drop the intake valve a little, see if I can find my offending chunk of metal. Edit: Has anyone been successful at retrieving a glow plug tip through...

    Thanks Big Bart, hoping for a little prayer circle, you answered. Hoping I don't have to pull the head. Patience is key here. I am pulling out all the GP tonight, so I can rotate the engine off of the crank with a 15/16" socket by hand. Do you know if the pre-ignition cup combustion chamber hole...
