    Cracked valve guides

    When the old guide , part of the head casting is drill out for a replacement there is a very thin part of it left , not enough to add any strength to the new guide. It is a very much a press it and will not come out.

    Hard Start when cold

    While you are doing it , I would replace all 3 of them . One inlet side of filter head, one outlet side of filter head , one inlet side of IP.

    Hard Start when cold

    These engine use two different sizes. The ETZ-9K260-A are for the line from filter head to IP one on ea end. The other is on the line from lift pup to IP , filter head end.

    Hard Start when cold

    With the leak being by the IP it could be the olive seals on the line from the filter head to the IP. They get hard over time and can leak.

    Constant front main seal leak

    Personally I prefer the foam a gasket RTV compared to just regular RTV, seem to work better.

    Ford diesel Oil who runs it?

    Don't know now days, but Havoline Oil use to be really bad , When uses to do rebuilds could always tell when someone use it, gray gummy film in engine that was a pain to get off. Have heard Penns is not good in Power Strokes, foams. causing injector to act up .

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    You can get that by using a wide ratio transmission. Did it to mine and I have a low low for starting out and backing up. I have to shift out of low pretty quick though once rolling.

    Constant front main seal leak

    Yes pulling the front cover could work, but also the chance rear is getting bad too and needs resealing. I would really look it over myself.

    Constant front main seal leak

    Think I would rather pull the engine and do it right then go through all that fighting

    Constant front main seal leak

    I have never had very good success doing .Last for a while then starts again. With the engine out , upside down , all oil cleaned off pan and engine , then use gasket maker RTV it will solve the problem , but know that is not what you want to hear.

    Pyrometer install questions

    When I rebuilt my 93 turbo I put it in the pipe right after the turbo. Now one of these days need to finish hooking it up.

    No crank

    My sister is pretty much the only one I trust driving my trucks. I have taught her how they start and work.

    Towing ?

    Probably have posted this picture before, but pull this load with mine all the time. Lift weighs 15000# Think 2 is as low as ever have had to go . Truck has a wide ratio trans which really help for heavy towing.

    92 f-250 7.3 idi none turbo won’t start unless I give it ether

    Also all it takes is one or two bad glow plugs to make them start hard. I would suggest stop using ether unless you are 100% sure glowplug system in not working at all. Still it is better to find the problem and get it working right again.

    No crank

    I had this happen on my 93, one time would start just fine go out and try different day no start. Ended up being the clutch safety switch. By passed it works just fine now. If a person is not comfortable doing bypass just replace the switch, I grow up driving truck without one so was no issue.

    7.3 idit

    Couple more things to look for is the valve covers. drivers side should have a hole in it for the CDR ,and right side should have bracket for the glow plug controller. Also IIRC on the front of the block flat area by pump cover should be a stamping that has a T for turbo in it.

    7.3 idit

    I have a 93 factory turbo dually that I haul a 15000 lb manlift behind it all the time. Little slow on some hills ,but it still gets the job done.

    Weird brake problem 89 F250

    A silicone spray would probably work good too. I use it a lot on vinyl widow to keep them working smooth. Goes on and dries , will not collect dirt like other lubes.

    What oil do you use?

    I have used Rotella 15-40 the most , but also use Car Quest brand also, on sale a fair amount. I have never had any problem with my IDIs burning through oil. I guess I would have to see it happening.

    Rocker pivot wear - 6.9 rocker arms

    I meant to say most rebuilds don't keep them in order. Sent from my SM-A115A using Tapatalk

    Rocker pivot wear - 6.9 rocker arms

    I agree you will be ok running those if no worse the one in picture. Ok that you keep them in order , but was not necessary. I would say most professional rebuilders keep them in order when rebuilding. We never did and it never caused undo wear.
