    WHICH PUMP & INJECTORS?

    I need some advice guys. Yeah, it's been a while since I've been around here. I'm living off the grid now, and busy as never before building a new life in the Great White North. Anyways, I've got 50 Kilo miles on my rebuild and my fuel system is in need. A couple years ago I built a 94 IDI...

    I Need Front & Rear Crank Seal Advice

    I just got back from a 3000 mile trip on a fresh engine and both my front and rear main seals are leaking. I am running 10W-30 John Deere Engine Break-in Oil. I have built numerous engines and never had seals leak like this. If I top the oil to the "Full" mark, it leaks out at the rate of a...

    IP Timing with the Ferret V765-01 & Fuel

    So I ordered a Ferret V765-01 from "Tooldiscounter" ($179.01 - thanks RLDSL) and plan to use it with my Inductive Pickup Plain Jane timing light. While I had the engine apart I marked the Harmonic Balancer very lightly every 10* with a center punch. The Timing Cover has a reference 0* scribe...

    What's the best I/P timing for Towing

    I finally found somebody within driving distance that can set my timing with a Pulse meter. My question is what's the best I/P timing for Towing. I'm not looking for brutal power but rather engine longevity and cooler operation. I see some are running 9.5* to 9.7* advanced. Is this at 2000 RPM...

    Pyro temps off # 8

    Anybody have any data on EGT's that are running their TC Probe near #8 exhaust port right before the bend down in the Exhaust Manifold? It would seem to me that I could run max temps a little higher than the 1000* "safe limit" but I don't have much experience with these engines. I have a...

    WHAT OIL PRESSURE WHEN CRANKING?

    How much oil pressure should I have when cranking over a fresh engine? I am seeing about 12-13 psi with cold (80*) 10w30. Is that good enough to put the fire to it?

    If I have the front clip removed so I'm poking the engine in straight up and over the X-member from the front, can I leave the ATS/Ford (093) Turbo, Feed Pipe & "Y" Pipe installed? If not, how much of the system can I leave on the engine while stuffing it? I intend on having the Pressure Plate...

    Piston Cooling Jet Bolts. New / Used ?

    I can't find any decent information on the Piston Cooling Jet Bolts other than "They are Included with New Jets" & "They are Special Patch Bolts - DO NOT Use Standard Bolts". So how are they Special? They look to me to be a G8 bolt with the pre-applied Blue thread locker. Can I use Loc-Tite...

    Another Change in the FSM

    My 1989 FSM says to torque the Main Cap bolts to 75 ft#, then 95 ft#. My 1993 Turbo Supplement to the FSM says to torque the Main Cap bolts to 95 ft#, then +45*. Another change is the Cylinder Head torque. My 1989 FSM says to torque the Cylinder Head bolts to 65 ft#, then 90 ft#, then 110...

    Question about Main Beraing Installation.

    The 89 Manual says to install upper Main Bearings 1,2,4 & % and lay the Crank. Then it says to roll the #3 into the Saddle. I tried that and it wants to turn the Crank as it goes in and that walks the other mains loose as the Crank rotates. Why not just lay the #3 shell into the Saddle before...

    Any Evans WC & Oil Temps Data?

    Anybody running Evans WC have data on what their Oil temps and Water Temps are running? I understand that the Waterless Coolant runs warmer but I don't know how much. That in turn would seem to stand to reason that the Oil Temps would run even higher, as mine do, just a few degrees higher than...

    What's the IDIT Turbo Exhaust Valve Part No.?

    Anybody know the 7 digit IH part number for the Inconel Exhaust valves, or are they only identifiable by the dimple? I tore down 6 pairs of heads recently and one set that was apparently rebuilt in 97 had 1811 191 C3 Exhaust valves with the dimple. They look to be salvageable. As a side note...

    Where can I get the best Valve Guides

    I need to get my Turbo heads rebuilt. The Diesel Machine Shop says they usually use Cast Iron valve guides. I used to use Silicon Bronze guides in my air-cooled days because of their durability. Does anybody know which are best for the Turbo IDI and possibly a good source?

    SLEEVING THE BLOCK - DO ALL EIGHT?

    I need some advise. I need to sleeve at least one cylinder in a 94 IDIT block to repair damage from a burnt piston. I do not know the history of this block so I am thinking of sleeving all eight. I spoke to a Machinist today and he thought that installing sleeves all 8 cylinders would weaken...

    7.3 Flywheel & Balancer on a 6.9??

    Does anybody have any experience running a 7.3 Harmonic Balancer on a 6.9? I'm going to be running a 7.3 SM flywheel on it as well. I know the counter-weight is different and I know Ford recommends NOT interchanging the two, but I have heard that some have run both the 7.3 flywheels and...

    My situation is that my truck is down and I need to get it road ready ASAP & as inexpensively as possible. I got my heads magna-fluxed yesterday and there's a small crack in #6 cylinder between the valve seats. One of the machinists told me it would "probably" extend into the water jacket...

    ENGINE STAND HEAD help

    I'm building an engine stand to handle the weight of these IDI's and am seeking some "what works" pictures of others setups. I've never seen one up close and personal, only at the fringes of some pictures of the engine themselves. Of particular interest is the geometry of the adapter where the...
