That would cause it to be all in the valve cover and CDR valve?
So i came to a conclusion that i should go ahead and rebuild the IDI. it has coolant loss, oil leaks, etc. I got the truck running again and drove it maybe 30 miles total every since i had it maybe 5 months now. It ran strong but problems started showing up.
The motor mounts have two studs that go through the adapter plates on the front cross member. The usual way is to remove the nuts from below the cross member. The adapter plates should have four bolts through the cross member, two up high and two lower down. I see you have removed the two top bolts from the adapter. I'm nor sure if taking the engine out with those plates attached to the motor mounts is a way to do it, but to reinstall those plates need to be on the cross member. The oil filter needs to come off if it is still on. While you are at it there is usually a ground strap on the back of one or both heads going to the firewall, as well as the two ground straps in front to the batteries. Mine has a smaller ground lower front from block to frame.
