    7.3 IDI Rocker Arms removal and instillation

    Am confused on why it's refereed to it as the damper mark . Unless i am thinking of something totally difference .

    7.3 IDI Rocker Arms removal and instillation

    Doesn't the push roads just go in place at the bottom most position then Rockers on top followed by 24Ftlb . Just curious why to rotate it by hand not the starter and how much rotation . WHat's the purpose of doing that .. When you say no starter you mean crank by hand at the main crank...

    Banks power Drain tube leak

    You made a very good point .. I punched mine from that awkward position ( CDT Hole ) , I am not sure how well the holes and i know i put at least 4 good ones . My problem seems like it's not draining fast enough , I tested the tube so many times, I put diesel in it , stood it up right for over a...

    Banks power Drain tube leak

    The plan is to install a weld on bung on the side cover at the lowest point and route the Banks turbo drain to it in a fashion , Either by custom hydraulic hose with the same diameter or similar

    Timing my IP

    I will check the Air filter .. Its due for oil change and i had to add about 1/2-3/4 qt of oil during this 5k oil change due to dip stick tube leaked , Turbo return line was leaking in the VP and passenger valve cover. When you said the bank turbo should make it run the same at elevation or...

    TDI Ford Explorer

    I would say Price Yes but tandem pump should not been an issue , Unless you referring to the Egr , However with PD ( BRM ) you have very tight margins with the cam loops , the BRM very specific about it's oil ( 505.01 / 5w40 ) and if you dont know the history of it you might looking at cam ...
