    What to do about ripping foil insulation

    So I’ve got my motor out and getting ready to replace. But I was wondering what I should do about the foil insulation that wraps around the heater core box. It’s ripped and sagging due to rain. Should I just taped it up with foil tape?

    Front Main seal

    I’m curious where I’d find the gaskets to go behind the front plate? I have it all taken apart about to clean them up but I’m not sure my master kit has the front pan gasket.

    Flex plate size

    So..the factory turbo idi I just took out has the same flex plate as my other motor. I’m starting to wonder if all of these plates are the same?

    Flex plate size

    So I’ve got the old motor out. I’m having some issues with the flex plates. The new motor I got has a N/A flex plate and I believe it’s a turbo motor. I found a serial number stamped by the injection pump. 7.3t u2u120291 Thinking I have a turbo block and it’s not just got a turbo kit...

    Intake screen - removing snail cover

    So I’ve got my turbo off my spare motor and the intake screen is totally warped and distorted from the previous owner. The turbo has a remanufactured stamp on it so that’s good I guess. So...do I need this screen? I have the blown motor in the truck that I could get another screen from if...

    Flex plate size

    I did find this when I searched for new plates now. And a bit more info regarding the differences. https://idiperformance.com/shop/misc/heavy-duty-flexplate-assembly-w-spacer-for-7-3-and-6-9/ Seems as factory turbo is an option. Maybe I should just inspect my plates and use the best one.

    Flex plate size

    Wow, so what do people do? I have two motors and so two flex plates. One isn’t dead flat (wobbles while idles) and the one in the truck would miss and grind the plate every once in a while. What is the difference and does it matter? My thinking is if the 7.3 Idi and 7.3 idit motors are...

    Flex plate size

    Turbo seal kit and water pump

    Advice on engine

    I just took mine off again to clean it up and remove the rear main seal and cleaned off the old gasket. It looks like clear silicone was used for my pan. But then again it could also be clear rtv. I will use rtv. My oil pan drain is stripped, hoping it’s just the screw.

    Advice on engine

    You guys think the one puffing cylinder could be timing? Does it effect these trucks that much? Or like Jesus freak said..maybe it’s just junk working it’s way out

    Is this the rear main seal I’ll need? https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ford,1994,f-350,7.3l+v8+diesel+turbocharged,1126819,engine,crankshaft+main+bearing+gasket,695

    Advice on engine

    I’ll just keep moving forward then. I’ll check out a bearing cap.. I noticed the rear intake manifold has rtv sticking out...there was a slight leak, after investigating I noticed the bolts were all loose. I’d rather not pull the turbo and injector lines...could I clean it up and squeeze some...

    Advice on engine

    How much do you think it’d cost to rebuild one of these at home? I know that depends on what’s wrong with mine.. What about the puffing smoke..could that just be timing? Rainbow colored crankshaft flanges? —perhaps it identifies as a gay-camshaft?

    Advice on engine

    So..after seizing my 7.3 idit I picked one up for $650 bucks and a long drive. I got it home and have it hanging from a chain. I got it running on the chain and it’s puffing on the drivers side manifold..one big white puff when one of the cylinders fire as it idles. Other than that it runs...

    Found metal in my filter

    I’m really leaning towards just finding the right replacement motor. I’ll rebuild the turbo before hand. This being said I’ve kind of out grown the truck and it’s purpose. I may sell the truck with a replacement engine or replace it and sell it to my folks. A dump truck would be pretty handy...

    Found metal in my filter

    Turbo spins freely and doesn’t have to much play.

    Found metal in my filter

    So I had what I thought was a seized motor after a weird turbo squealing and rough idle...there is oil all over the back of the drivers side motor..from start up to seize I drove a total of 2 maybe 3 miles...truck was slowly running out of power and I kept giving it more until it shut down and...
