1993 7.3 IDI Naturally Aspirated CRANK no START after sitting 11 years.
Okay so my next steps are to take the front cover back off to reseal it up because it was leaking once it started running. No problem because I’ve already done that about 6 times just to verify timing lol. Then I have to get a brand new water pump, thermostat & power steering pump and paint it...- SterlingCharles

Thank you! Well after running it for a while I was able to get it to run without ether but of course that’s with the jerry can. But it sounds like a beast. Very strong. I didn’t have any radiator or thermostat in so I didn’t run it too long but I can tell it was bleeding out any air from the...- SterlingCharles

Yes sir. You’re welcome and thank you. I had to make it my business to come and update because when I’m really in need and I’m reading other forums I hate when guys don’t come back and give reasons on how and why whatever their ending results were. I really would love to upload a video so you...- SterlingCharles

UPDATE: THE TRUCK IS FINALLY UP AND RUNNING. What I would say that made this truck start was that I gotten rid of the marine commercial maybe “deep cycle batteries….they were big intimidating and useless. The only reason I was using that type of battery was because it what was in the truck when...- SterlingCharles

Well…..the engine did sit since 2011 and hasn’t literally ran since. So it’s really a mystery. The sticker on the window says 2011. That tells me a lot. Now was the head blow. Idk but I do know that there was moisture and water leaking on top of engine and down past valley pan. Let’s say my...- SterlingCharles

As far as timing goes. After setting the crankshaft, camshaft and injection pump Dot to Dot, Y to Y is this all these trucks need to start or is there additional adjustments on the injection pump that will get it running??- SterlingCharles

And these heads have already been reworked. Valves were reground at the correct angle. I was at the shop when it was getting done. All valve guides were replaced on both heads. New valve seals and caps. As far as replacing lifters…on this engine I wouldn’t have to take off heads again thank...- SterlingCharles

What I did was soak the lifters and pushrods in mineral spirits for several days. Then I blew them out with with compressed air…saw milky oil shoot out. Then I soaked them In oil for several days then threw them straight in their bores during installation. Prior to installing I noticed many...- SterlingCharles

Yeah before I did all this work I did shoot some on PB Blaster down the injector holes but I only let them sit for a couple days. Then After all the head work before putting the heads back on I put some Slimy Lucas compression restorer in all cylinders. I did see a guy on YouTube who was...- SterlingCharles
