    'Bulletproofing' an IDI?

    It's all about how much you want to spend. For me I am the kind of person who likes to do things once, rebuilding an idi engine I would have the engine blueprinted and balanced, cryo treated, tops of pistons ceramic coated, 7.3 rockers if you have a 6.9, ford oem headgaskets, arp head studs...

    Is there any more black....?

    On my replacement engine, my oil wasn't really black until a couple hundred miles after changing it, and it still isn't pitch black. I do run a Motorcraft powerstroke oil filter, (I don't think it makes a difference in the color of the oil). If your really concerned about the color of your...

    2 stroke oil 1 gallon

    I started working at a warehouse as a forklift a couple months back, and one of the perks is that when items are damaged for whatever reason it sits in osd (over, short, damaged) and after a certain amount of time it's either given out or they sell it as a discounted price. So some oil came up...

    Ac system repair

    So my f350 came hooked up with an ac system, but no compressor, I went to the junk yard last year and got a pretty much new ac compressor, now that it's starting to warm up its time to get it hooked up and working. Can I do this myself or do I need to take it to a shop. Thanks in advance

    Need Help engine wont start after trying lots of things .

    When you turn the engine over are you getting any smoke out the tail pipe. Does your glow plug system work properly, or do you hear a bunch of clicks after the wait to start light goes out. What year is the truck.

    need buying advice on 93 non turbo IDI. hard cold starts

    You should let the truck warm up for about 15 min, and then check the blow by, also check the coolant and coolant tank for oil, the hard start is probably glow plugs. A quick engine start then it dies and then won't start up after a couple cranks is a air intrusion in either the return lines or...

    Fuel Problems

    Your local auto parts store should have a big block Chevy fuel pump block off plate. I bought one anticipating I was going to purchase a facet pump but never got around to doing it.
