Hey guys. Sorry for no update for a while. I have done everything possible to rule out a valve failure of some sort and I just can't find anything to point any other direction. I am down to pulling the head off but just haven't had the time to do it yet. It's mid terms and next week is thanksgiving. I'll probably put the new clutch in my brothers truck on thanksgiving but doubt I'll get around to pulling the head on my truck.
I do have one question though. Is it possible to pull the head without pulling the intake and valley pan out? I mean I don't have a problem pulling the intake, but the problem arises in pulling the valley pan because to do that I have to pull the turbo back out and to do that I have to go though all the trouble of pulling the cab again and lifting it up.
I'm just wondering if anyone has ever done it. I've got a feeling it would be a major PITA.
