I am working on a 6.9 diesel that I bought for $100 5 years ago. Last year I took it out and cleaned it up and got it running after a half a can of ether.
The oil filter blew out and oil was spewing everywhere. I didn't think anything of it and put a new filter on.
A year later, now, when I finally decided I wanted to put it in a bronco I started cleaning it up some more. Injectors, orings, filters, and making sure it still started. There was over a gallon of water in the pan but after cleaning it all up I got it running. A few days later I hooked up glow plugs and see if it would start on that. It did after a while but I had some dripping injectors.
Today I changed all the injectors making sure I had 8 good ones. It didn't want to start good but I got it running. After pushing the throttle it sounded like the motor was bogging and I saw something fly over my head and I saw oil come crapping out again. The oil filter oring blew out again.
Ive been working on this the past couple weeks and the motor is on the ground with a fuel line in the diesel can.
Any ideas why the oring keeps blowing? Hopefully tomorrow I'll get an oil pressure gauge to see where I'm at.
