    Engine oil bypass centrifuge

    I agree, i don't think you'd have enough pressure to run one unless you installed some sort of aux pump to pressure the oil through the thing. I imagine it could be done but the bypass filters from Amsoil are way cheaper and would be much easier to install. For the dieselcraft centrifuge...

    Air Intake for IDI e350? Anyone have one to sell?

    I can try to get a picture too. I just looked through my hundreds of pictures I have and somehow that piece has never been in a picture. I always had it off for some reason or another.

    Fuel pedal NOT WORKING

    Have you googled your question? My guess is that the issue of the go pedal not working on the PSD is somewhat common. I know I've read on the new PSD there are three rheostat type deals that way if one fails you are stilll good to go except you get a check engine light. You lose two and I...

    Coolant filter install idea...seeking yer thoughts...

    Do you shut off your heater core in the summer to make your A/C colder? If you don't then I would suggest making it even simpler and put the filter in series with the heater core. If you do shut the core off in the summer then as you say is best except with one extra valve. You would install...

    Air intrusion ????

    Replace the glow plug and see if that fixes the compression leak, if not you could try some grease on the threads. However, heat from the engine will probably liquify the grease and it'll leak again. If it were me I might try a thin piece of yellow Teflon tape on the threads. As for the fuel...

    Mysterious air lock

    Did you replace all the olives and the O-ring on top of the filter housing for the fuel heater? That was my problem with all my leaks. Have you install clear lines on the return to see if air is in-fact moving though the filter? Also, caution on the electric pump inline with the mechanical...

    SCA

    Make sure your mystery coolant is low silicate or else you might end up with some problems when you add all your SCAs. They might not work properly and you might clog up your radiator. Low silicate fluid isn't all that common so what you have may not be it. If it came from a diesel shop...

    7.3 idi HARD cold start

    A bad ground on the controller would also screw up the glow plug cycle. Basically, check all your connections and/or just make new connections on everything and you'll probably be good to go. If you don't feel like screwing with all of that you could do like some of us have done and just rig...

    IP, Head gaskets, water pump and t-stat, in frame, in Van....

    Wow, I do not envy you with that job. I once managed to get my drivers side head off in the van, it was just BARLEY doable. The passenger head I don't think would have been possible. I don't think the bolts would come out, at least not without ALOT of wiggling around. You didn't mention you...

    Runs like a bat out of Hell, but you damn near have to kick start it.

    My beru plugs have lasted for ten years now. I rigged my glow plugs for manual control and have never had one problem with them after. I burn them for about 6 to 8 secs and it fires off every time.

    Self Adjusting E Brake Procedure Needed!

    Well they're supposed to have a little deal in there that will only allow them to turn one direction and then catch it from turning the other direction. If you need to turn it backwards you have to move the little stop arm away then turn it. It's rigged up so when you drive in reverse and slam...

    cruise control switch question

    Okay, have a question, and i'm sure with every question I ask it's been asked a couple dozen times already. I have however looked in the search and haven't found what I'm looking for. Anyways, the whole Ford recall thing with the cruise control switches, they have my 1992 ford van listed in...

    about to cry....

    Sorry, this is bad information. Ethylene glycol is just as poisonous as it's ever been and just a couple tablespoons will kill.

    planning on changing head gaskets soon, need help

    Well i guess given enough patience and luck anything is possible. I had mine on an engine stand when it happened and turned the engine upside down and was shaking it and still couldn't find it. Finally it wiggled loose and started rattling around and I was able to get it out. It would be best...

    Most stupid mechanic mistake I have made so far...

    I was wrenching on my starter one time with a watch on that had a metal band. The watch hit the terminals on the starter solenoid and blew some pretty holes in it. As you can imagine it got REALLY HOT and burned my arm pretty good. Left a good scar. I was running around trying to get my...

    planning on changing head gaskets soon, need help

    Make sure when you use the tap to clean the threads you dont accidently drop the tap into a coolant passage hole, you will not be able to fish it back out. The holes are right next to each other and are the same size.

    Cooling with Propane

    Cars catch on fire all thr time even without propane in the AC system... I dont think this small amount will make everything all that much more inherently more dangerous. I did find out while working on biodiesel that methanol vapor actually makes an alright refrigerant aswell. I was using...

    Sourcing Group 31's

    Optimas actually have a slightly smaller case which comes to be very handy when dealing with the van... Anyone know where to get discount Optimas?

    90 DEGREE BILLET ALUMINUM INJECTOR CAPS

    If you ran biodiesel without all the catalyst wahed out then yes, you'd toast the aluminum and they'd be leaking pretty fast. Normal diesel I dont see it being a problem.

    BILLET ALUMINUM INJECTOR CAP

    Well if you think about it, it would make no sensr for IH to make these out of metal and have them never fail. Goes something like this... Ok we can make one set for $100 and have it never fail, or we could make about 100 for 1 cent out of plastic, then sell for $30 everytime one fails...

    Occasional hydro lock? Huh?

    Mate, unless i misread something it doesnt seem anyone here was that mean to you in telling you to stop asking questions and to just lurk... For the oil sample, blackstone has universal averages for this engine so they can pretty well tell you what is normal for all their tested parameters and...

    Head crack question

    It looks to not be cracked down in the seat which seems good... I've never seen a crack like this, i think its odd it formed there. Could water maybe have gotten down in the bore with the injector and then froze? Either way, doesnt seem good, but hell it may run just fine forever like that or...
