A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
The motor is a 1986. Your BUT is the biggest surprise of all. I did alot of research on changing cams and this NEVER came up in the hundreds of threads I waded through... Looks like I need to find a service manual that goes into more detail than the old cover-it-all but not in too much detail...- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Rigged something up to pull the gear. Its a 9.99 HF puller and some old 5th wheel hitch brackets and the gear came off easily: The fuel pump lobe and the collar were another story. Didn't get any pictures, but I used a bearing puller around the bottom of the collar and then pressed it out...- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Ran to Sears and bought an allen driver set... used an impact driver and TADA! I don't have the special pull, but I do have a small press. Any sage words of advice for pressing it off?? BTW - You guys rock! Thanks for your help. As I said earlier- this is the deepest I have ever...- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Cam is stock! Cam is out- I tried to loosen the allen head that hols the gear to the cam, but I am just buggering up the thing. Is it left handed? (I don't think so, but I have tried to leverage it both ways and no love. Couldn't get it loose while it was in the motor, so i pulled the cam...- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Ended up loosening one of the pulley bolts far enough to jam a pry bar in there. Then I used my gigantic adjustable pliers to loosen the nut. Only lost a little skin and 1/2 pint of blood!!- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
I also found water in the intake. My only idea is that it is from the motor inhaling large amounts of steam when the radiator pressurized and pushed it all out the overflow...:dunno- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Yeah, it seems interesting that 3 of them were seeing coolant. Trying to get the tools to pull the fan off now... the local parts house doesn't seem to be able to get me the right one.:mad:- ocnorb

A few 6.9l teardown surprises...
Some pleasant, some...not so much. I found this really odd and still can't figure out what caused it. Pulled the thermostat housing off to find a basically destroyed stat!! The thermostat has never worked since I bought the truck... I had assumed it was left out and planned to...- ocnorb

Need lessons on how to talk 'machine shop'.
No argument. I may have gone that route if I didn't have the inclination to fix a few oil leaks and get this motor sealed up tight. I know from previous experience that the turbo has to come off. On top of all that I don't want to fight torquing the heads down 5 times with the motor in the...- ocnorb

Heath, If I may ask, what is the reasoning on using hylomar? Is it more for the cooling passages?- ocnorb

Need More Power 6.9
Sure sounds like your IP is not set up right. Mine hits governor around 3400-3500 rpm. I pull a 31 foot toyhauler that is taller than you poly tank with a Jeep and a few motorcycles in it. I'm not the fastest over the steep passes, but I'm not usually the slowest either. I have run the thing on...- ocnorb

Not fully committed, but Hunter Machine seems to be the most competent shop so far... still asking around. Started pulling it down tonight after work. Got the intercooler, piping, batts disconnected, radiator drained and the hood and front clip pulled. Looks like its ready to pluck. Going to...- ocnorb

New design head gaskets/Spacers/Shims, Studs, and Timing
+1 If these will work for the 6.9L I can commit to 2 sets and be a guinea pig. Any worries about the two layers splitting horizontally? Any successful implementations on other motors using this method?- ocnorb
