I checked all the pistons while I had the heads off and they all said .040 on them and .040 was stamped on both sides of the block. It does kind of seem like a balance issue. If I disconnect the fuel shut off solenoid and have a helper crank the engine over while I hold my hand to the exhaust it...
Its not a full chuff its very slight. The valve guides are good I checked that when I had the heads off. I also lapped the valves.
As far as I know the cam is stock its the same one as jasper put in.
I did put a new set of lifters in but it still shakes. I did notice less lifter chatter...
Yes the lowest is 500psi and the highest is 515psi and all the others are pretty much right at 500psi I am going to double check that though. I wouldn't think 15 psi difference would cause it to shake as bad as it does you can stand back and watch the whole truck shake.
Would that make that slight chuff in the exhaust? Because if I put my hand up to the exhaust I can feel that there is something different with one cylinder from all the others.
speedwrench72 on FTE suggested that there could be a lobe down on the cam so ill degree it and see if I can find any...
Well I got a matching pre-cup, installed it and it is flush with the head surface. I then reassembled the engine and fired it up and it still shakes the same. Needless to say I'm starting to get frustrated with this thing. I messed with injectors some more buy finding one from my spare sets I...
Ya I know its a stretch but its the only thing I can find that is different from the other cylinders in the heads and the block. Its not just a rough idle it shakes all the way up to about 2,000 rpm than after that it starts to smooth out a little but its still kind of rough at higher rpm as...
The shop I got the pump from was USDieselParts.com. When I push the plunger in on the side of the pump the engine does sound different and smokes blue but it doesn't change the shaking it might run a little rougher too but it still has the same shake along with it. I got the injectors from...
Here is a thread that I have going over at FTE that should answer all your questions and more.

Does anyone have a pre-cup exactly the same as this one that would be willing to sell to me? I only need one to match the other 7 because there is one that is different and causing my engine to shake.
