    how to prime a fresh rebuild/refreshened engine?

    Yeah, I hope you have better luck than me, I was using the starter, glow plugs not even hooked up yet, never did get any pressure on the gauge, still thought fuel was somewhere near the back of the cab when it started! Scared the ever-lovin' poop out of me! Finally showed pressure a couple of...

    Oil Filter housing threads damaged. NEED HELP ASAP!

    Icanfixall said: -"Remember to clean off all the lapping (or filings) and gravity is your friend here". This aint rocket science, a minute or two spent masking or covering holes before filing and then after, a moment spent with a clean rag and a fresh can (good pressure) of WD40 blasting off any...

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    IIRC, most distilled water is steam distilled- it's actually the worst kind as the heat helps some chemicals in solution to to be carried in the vapor that is to be condensed. It's plenty good enough though. You can tap off of the fuel shutoff solenoid wire to a relay I believe, I think it is...

    Hose to Lift Pump: How Did They Do This?

    Fill it full of sand, tie it to a stick on each end and hang the bend portion in a pot of boiling water for ten minutes. Remove and leave tied to stick until completely cooled. Flush THOROUGHLY and meticulously.

    Good grief...

    Wow, can't you tell this is a joke? I didn't for a single second take that statement seriously.;Really

    Cooling issues!!!! Cannot chase this one down!!!

    Would these be the symptoms of Tstat with a sticky spring or installed upside down?

    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    1) Yes, it is a fairly dense foam rubber rather than a solid. 2) The image I provided was as close to the actual product as I could find- in reality the two legs are of equal length. It was installed so that the edge of the flat or mounting surface is nearly flush with the top of the...

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    http://www.fuelsaver-mpg.com/hydrogen-assist-kits/hydrogen-assist-kit-for-medium-engines -I can't believe they have the sheer unmitigated audacity to ask $675 for this kit.. It's like hearing, "Yes sir, please grab your ankles and hold on tight!":eek:

    Ray-Wel High Flow Intake System?

    My seal was completely gone and the one from LMS was way too expensive- When I was at the auto parts store I happened to see some weather stripping with this profile and it worked better than I had any right to expect..

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    Don't feel too bad, a lot of folks had issues with the o-ring style electrolysers. The EPDM gaskets I'm using have held up remarkably well IMHO, but everything has its lifetime. If you used 316L for your plates, about the only thing that will corrode them is too much voltage per cell, which is...

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    Yeah, that was me.. With just straight hydrogen you see very little (if any) gain because you're still limited to the same amount of oxygen being delivered to the combustion chamber, with HHO (2H,1O) It supplies its own oxygen in the exact quantity needed for perfect conversion.

    coolant filter question

    The configuration is (as far as I know) my own. The filter is mounted on an extension to the passenger side of the original fuel filter mount. Based on the autopsies of my last 3 coolant filters, I'm happy to say that it works quite well. Actually, a lot of theory went into it, which in...

    coolant filter question

    That's why it's more typically run in a bypass mode..:D

    Barn find update, and HHO generator

    The mileage increase you got on the Suburban is very close to the increase I got on Henry- just a tad over 4 mpg. I would recommend using lye rather than KOH as an electrolyte, and running a mist filter. I even run a dryer after the mist filter- It's probably overkill, but our intake manifolds...

    coolant filter question

    That's a very clean and organized looking setup you have there- makes me want to go out and re-arrange some things..;Sweet

    coolant filter question

    The coolant filter is used in a bypass mode- parallel to the return hose. Use two Tee's on the return side hose, the filter gets plumbed in between the two Tee's. The filter head should show an IN and an OUT flow arrow or text, the IN side connects to the Tee closest to the firewall.. ;Sweet

    Starter shenanigans...

    True, but just think of it as the PG version of f***ery.. Actually your reply forced me to look it up, turns out that the word has a little darkside also- "secret or dishonest activity or maneuvering" -which may not technically apply, but if nothing else there is some lackadaisicality happening...

    Starter shenanigans...

    It's an Ultima starter, (Mitsu) 17578 Which I just Googled and found it to be for a '97 PSD. Do the starters you have, have a hood over half of the gear? It bolted up sweetly to the adapter, zero fuss.

    Starter shenanigans...

    I stand corrected- thank you. Apparently this starter is able to be used on both, and is visually identical to the one that worked so well (before it quit) that I took off. It's a Mitsubishi like this one- and is supposed to work on the earliest 6.9 to a '94 (and maybe '95) 7.3. I do not possess...

    Starter shenanigans...

    Yes, the rust establishes it as steel- LOL I wouldn't necessarily say it adapts- all the bolts go through from trans to block, but the starter does mount directly on it.

    Starter shenanigans...

    Does anyone know if there are two different thicknesses of spacer plate that can fit between a ZF5 and an IDI? The reason I ask is that the shop that sleeved my engine lost that spacer (that the starter mounts on). At the time I took the engine to them, I didn't realize that it was a separate...

    R.I.P Fuel Filter Housing

    Too bad the OP already bought the one from ebay- using the the ebay description I was able to find the one from Summit for half the price.. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/trd-1030?seid=srese1&gclid=CJfT7NeA2cgCFQgXHwodwsQOaA
