Newer injections pump going bad? Weird symptoms. Just creeping along
very very easy solution to these type of issues, install a fuel pressure gage = measure pressure going into the ip. i consider this a mandatory mod to all diesels basically, even newer ones. if good pressure, then the pump has an issue. but more likely another fuel supply issue.- reinerh

Another Interesting IDIT Failure
i do not think this was caused by lucas. what i see in the pictures is classic polymerisation caused by vegetable oil. it happens when unburned veggie gets past the rings and down in the oil. the mix with heat causes this chemical reaction. was this engine run on veggie ????- reinerh

IDI with reworked heads parting out on Seattle CL
nope, but many other diesel cranks. they are the strongest one can find vs gassers. seen broken aircraft engine cranks as well, and they are huge. its very rare, but they can break.- reinerh

IDI with reworked heads parting out on Seattle CL
neh that cant break a crank, since the rods would punch the block first if caused by low no oil. cranks have major torsional forces to deal with, one minor defect in manufacturing and it wont hold, its rare but cant be ruled out.- reinerh
