    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    Update, Ran a compression check. I have one cylinder at 395psi, 5 others between 415 to 420psi. Could not get the glow plugs out of the back two. Got the pump back from Goff Diesel. Installed new injectors. Used original scribe mark on pump housing to set static time. Bled air and engine fired...

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    It's on the back burner at this time. I've developed at big oil leak. The turbo return line is dumping oil over the back of the block. I may send my pump and injectors to Goff Diesel in Utah. He has rebuilt several of my brothers 6.2 and 6.5 pumps. Probably do a compression check before that. I...

    I plan on one day building up a new glow plug harness and change over to the 7.3 controller.

    If the glow plug controller was stuck on wouldn't the glow plug light also stay on? Typical glow plug cycle is 10 seconds on followed by on off on off cycle for several seconds and then occasional on off till temp comes up. It has been like that for as far back as I can remember.

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    I think I stated this before, new lift pump with clear hose between pump and hard line from tank and finally getting it started worked the air out of that line and ran for five minutes. No bubbles. Sat over night still full of fuel and no bubbles. With all the new lines and forgot to mention...

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    The injectors are GB rebuilds from Rockauto. I have used the brand in every injected engine I own and never a problem. Temporarily replaced the hose from the tank line to the lift pump (new pump) from the ip to return line and the small bleed line on the filter head with clear line. Satisfied...

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    I should have mentioned, we determined the old pump was dumping fuel out around the advance lever. But was told that alone would not have shut the engine down. Also before my dad passed away the truck was driven once a year for several years to get smog-ed and licenced. That was for probably 10...

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    The Ford official shop manual I have is from 1985, same as the truck. Turbo didn't come out til the 7.3. And I have reread the instructions with the ATS turbo install and there is no mention of changing the timing. Jeff

    6.9 timing Where did the 8.5* come from

    I have read at several blog sites, "book specification for dynamic timing is 8.5* BTDC". Where is this 8.5 coming from. I have an 85 F250 with ATS turbo I inherited from my dad. 132k original miles. It smokes a lot and was a little difficult to start. I replaced injectors and it ran smoother...
