    6.9 idi getting blowback when glow plugs are removed.

    Not really, the biggest thing is to not burn your starter up. Rule of thumb is 30 seconds cranking, 2 minutes cool off. Remember, you have to fill your pump and all the lines before its all primed. When I replaced my pump I think I spent 45 minutes doing it.

    Even if it was spinning slower, it would be jetting off a good foot or more of a fuel spritz. Sounds like you have more air in your fuel between the Schrader and the injectors. Make sure your fuel shutoff solenoid has good power, and bleed some more. The fueling when its bled is very different...

    6.9 idi getting blowback when glow plugs are removed.

    Okay you did it all the right way then. With all 8 lines cracked loose, do you get a nice healthy spritz from each injector as its cranking over? Or is it just lightly bubbling and streaming a little?

    I dont think anyone here has had good or bad luck with swag performance pumps and stuff, I know I have purchased a few odd gaskets from them with good results though. When you replaced the pump, did you take the timing gear off or did you take the pump off the gear? Did you bleed the air out of...

    Also note, theres a lot of... Healthy discussion about in line electric pumps, and the high pressure pump is sensitive to flow and volume. If you are stock and the mechanical lift pump is fine, I suggest using it. How did you test the glow plugs? Just making sure voltage at the plugs isn't enough.

    7.3 IDI Turbo Harmonic Balancer

    Youre right, after taking a second look, its close but not the same. Fun fact, the part# doesnt exist on Napa's web site anymore. napa 6005228

    If you have power to the fuel shutoff solenoid, no, it'll keep injecting fuel and will still look like a light white mist. How are the glow plugs themselves? You need most if not all working in order to start these engines.

    7.3 IDI Turbo Harmonic Balancer

    Heres the verdict, turbo balancer is 11.6lbs, new n/a balancer is also 11.6lbs. The old n/a balancer I pulled off the block I'm building is 10.2lbs... Maybe I have two turbo balancers? Here's the old n/a next to the original turbo balancer. Turbo being on top. Definitely more meat on the center...

    No they look identical. Tried to align them closely when I took the photos.

    It is most likely vapor fuel or crankcase gasses, as they return to the intake. Don't use starting fluid, or a whole bunch of it, as it can damage the heads and rings.

    I haven't sent off the balancer yet, I'll see if I can find a scale...

    Fuel pressure question. Insufficient flow?

    Well that is precisely what gasser variants do, instead of switching the valve, it changes which in-tank pump runs and reporting fuel level.

    Did you fish that bag out of your intake? :fan:

    So what did you do with your truck today?

    Spent some more time on the block I'm building; pulled the pistons out last night and honed all the cylinders. Looks amazing now. I've tasked my dad with cleaning the exterior of the block, least he can do since it's his engine. I measured the bores again after honing, all are between 4.112...

    Well he did move recently, so no longer just half a block away, now about a 15 minute drive. Better than @Overloaded-dadbod whose 45 minutes away lol

    Fuel pressure question. Insufficient flow?

    I am also curious about this... I would love to go e pump, but I cherish my dual tanks too much, and the factory return line is too small for some of those high volume pumps out there.

    7.3 IDI Turbo Harmonic Balancer

    Alright did a bit of teardown, here is an IDIT balancer next to a new stock idi one. Only thing I see different is the drillings for the weight, and the casting number.

    Nah this one took a bit of messing with to get it to adjust as well. Probably tired contacts as well due to age.

    So @Rmccaig86 swung by so I could flush his coolant out. Or I should say... Water. We're starting to tickle freezing temps here. While he was here I set his clock. I think @Jesus Freak is just a wuss when it comes to buttons :flipa:joker:

    I'm definitely very happy with how the 093 performed before going bigger pump and injectors. I'm even happier with the upgraded parts. A 093 on a stock engine really wakes them up!
