    I'd like to know how to lock the clutch also, as since my new finding on my 94 idi van, I just need to get it back on the road and will probably wait on the fan delete and e-fans since I have bigger fish to fry at this point. Sent from my SM-T567V using Tapatalk

    No real sign of moiture or rust in intake and no sign of rust inside air filter housing and rubber gasket is intact on threaded air filter thumbsrew bolt, however, the top lid of the air filter housing is more rusty than others Ive seen.

    Aha! Now, that makes more sense. I was befuddled :) I understand what Wes meant. Thanks for jumping in. So, with glow plugs out, spray PB lightly to coat cylinder walls, then what? Loosen alternator and remove the belt? Or, leave the belt on and find a socket that fits the crank bolt a d use a...

    Wes, Please, could expand on your comment a bit more. I mean, so, I'll finish draining the pan in the morning, then remove the filter and fill up the new filter with fresh 15w40 Rotella and install it. Put the oil pan drain plug back in and fill motor with fresh oil. Then onto the glow plugs...

    1st post. Advice on safely re-starting a 94 7.3

    Me too Dr. CHARLES. In a way, this discovery sounds like a blessing in disquise, meaning, not having the money right away for all my glow plugs, other parts and starter might have saved the day! To think, if I had taken the advice on not changing the oil and instead, doing all the glow plugs...

    1st post. Advice on safely re-starting a 94 7.3

    WOW! so, in your opinion, guys, my engine is NOT toast and I should continue with my oil/filter change, and other repairs as planned? Cylinder walls should not be damaged by water? Heck, I was all doom and gloom, thinking I had to start scrambing to return all parts before I couldn't get a...

    BEST and WORST water pumps, gaskets?

    Macrobb, I appreciate the response. Your saying that you have had good luck with Autozone water pumps only? Just curious if you have ever installed any Motorcraft branded water pumps? Which one from AZ, the regular, cheaper Duralast series or the Auto Zone Duralast Gold water pump, which, I...

    Draining ALL the oil from block, not just the pan?

    Macrobb, Ive read many of your other posts. Seems like you have the experience of a number of complete teardowns and rebuilds under your belt ? What in your opinion is the most common wear item on 7.3 idi engines? What item or items fail most commonly? Can you list the main causes of...
