    EGT Differences

    I have installed an Auber Instruments dual readout meter and matching EGT probes immediately behind the last cylinders on each manifold. Passenger side is running 100°F cooler than drivers side. Highest temp observed on drivers side at warmed-up idle was 329°F, passenger 230°F. Two questions- do...

    Starter shenanigans...

    Does anyone know if there are two different thicknesses of spacer plate that can fit between a ZF5 and an IDI? The reason I ask is that the shop that sleeved my engine lost that spacer (that the starter mounts on). At the time I took the engine to them, I didn't realize that it was a separate...

    445, 444, or 436??

    I think I may have slipped a cog in my brain... I was checking cylinder bores with a snap gauge a few minutes ago and grabbed the Haynes manual to see if they were still in the ballpark. I noted that bore and stroke are square (4.11" x 4.11"). I decided to see for myself whether our 7.3L engines...

    typ4 - Hey Russ..

    I briefly saw (at work) that you responded to my PM, but I couldn't read it because the company has a policy against downloading certain mail/messaging software that was necessary to see it.. Now I'm home and can't get the prompt to download again. Seems like it's somehow associated with...

    Turbo time thanks to head gasket leak

    Hey Everybody, It's been awhile since I checked in, but I still read most days.. Well, Henry has become afflicted with a head gasket leak or two, what appears to be a front main seal leak and possibly a rear seal leak. While I have the engine out the ZF-5 is going to be rebuilt- I'm tired of...

    Transmission to Block Bolt size?

    While having my daughter pump the clutch pedal so I could bleed the slave cylinder, I noticed movement of the trans relative to the engine.. Upon further inspection I found that the bolt over the area of the starter that holds the trans to the engine was missing. Yay, wonderful... Anyway, I am...

    Clutch master cylinder tube blow out...

    Lost pedal the other morning on the way to work, but managed to float gears with no full stops back to the casa and kill/brake in my regular parking spot.. I figured it was the bushing or pin or even the hole on the shaft finally wallowed out and let go, so I hit Advance and picked up a new...

    Question for TYP4

    Russ, Would running dual turbo's of this specification be suitable for a 7.3? Thank you for any light you could shed on this- I'm trying to spool early but not run out of boost at 2800... Thanks, Gus JDM T3/T4 T04 Turbocharger Stage-III Turbo Oil Cooled Only Standard T3 4 Bolt Inlet...

    Is there still any interest in doing this before it gets too hot?

    Maybe Clutch Switch?

    Henry's been a pain to start for about the last week, seems like he just arbitrarily starts when he feels like it. sometimes first try sometimes eighteenth... No rhyme or reason. I just replaced fuel filters a minute ago and noticed that there was no fuel in my clear return line right after the...

    NEW STARTER - OMG!

    I've read about it here, but just couldn't imagine what it must be like... Now I know. Just put a new Mitsubishi gear reduction starter on this evening and I can not believe how incredibly fast Henry starts! Between the Baby Moose and a fresh starter, you cycle the plugs, bump the key and he's...

    IP Wrench- cheap & almost easy

    Well, after spending the best part of the weekend working on my daughters car, I was finally able to spend a little time on Henry. After running incredibly strong immediately after installing the Baby Moose, the performance slowly degraded. I thought it was solely the viscosity difference with...

    Is this the one?

    I was looking in ebay for something else and stumbled across this- is this a version of the 360 that everyone is so nuts over here? If so then not too bad a price...

    Whoa Henry, whoa!

    Well, I knew it would eventually happen. Henry has a big ol' vacuum leak in his brake booster and while tracing the source of the leak I discovered that the vacuum pump can only hold 15-16"Hg consistently at idle. I have a vacuum gauge in the cab and watched over the course of two days as my...

    ZD9 WMO Fuel Heater

    Since the weather cooled off and we've had a couple nights in a row below freezing, I've noticed that my WMO is thickening up enough to affect timing (white smoke with agressive throttle instead of black.) I've flipped back and forth between tanks and assured myself that this is what is...

    Turbo size question...

    Does anyone know if the turbo from an IH DT530E is too much, or too slow to spool for a 7.3? Found a good used one for $150+shipping. This would be mounted in a non-traditional location...

    Another Moose is loose in Florida

    Henry got a heart transplant Sunday and boy does he feel like a new truck! Billy (gonecrazyi) and JD (Diesel JD) made the trip up to Jacksonville yesterday and we got the Baby Moose installed in short order. Billy has installed several pumps and I wanted some hand-holding the first time so I...

    Forgot to purge...

    I scored about 18-19 gallons of nearly virgin hydraulic oil a couple days ago at a little hydraulic repair place near where I work. It's pretty thick stuff @ 60F and gave my sucker pump a hard time, but I got it home and cut it with 5 gal. of ULSD, heated & filtered it for a day. Zero water &...

    Pushrods...

    When I was a young man I built a hot rod Harley '81 shovelhead that would turn an honest 7250rpm with my big butt on it- that works out to almost exactly 140mph with stock gearing. One of the very first things I did to it was put a big cam in it and solid pushrods. I threw the hydraulics in the...

    WMO/WVO Blending, first 50 miles...

    Well, so far so good. I've finally got my filtering/heating/blending/filling station up and running and have put about 56 miles on Henry today with his first tank full of home brew fuel. I found myself nearly holding my breath when I flipped the selector to the front tank this afternoon, but the...
