Hey Oilburners here is a Diesel Power IDI update:
(Note: I tried looking for the old post Part 1 to see if anyone said anything more but couldn't find it.)
So here is the new post on Diesel Power
Right now I'm cleaning the engine block and looking at it a lot. Trying to decide what's next.
For example should I replace the cam bearings? Anyone know of what tool I should use for this? Speaking of special tools Tork Teknology was interested in IDI's after I told him about how awesome they are and everyone wants one. He is a tool maker and can make anything we want.
Also I had a meeting with ARP's Chris Raschke and he said I need to bring my 7.3L to Ventura and get it measured for bolts and studs. They were thinking of offering a complete kit or be able to sell them individually.
Why I Drive an IDI
In the June issue we feature Alex Nine's Budget Prerunner its a stock Turbo IDI. I think it looks cool and is what I wanted to do to Project 300.
I mounted my centrifuge to the engine and plan on routing the 1-inch hose to to a bung welded on the plate that covers the injection pump bolts. The bracket that came with the Dieselcraft kit mounts to the driver side bolt that hold the aluminum injection pump housing on. This way I can get rid of the air pump. I also plan on adding a bypass filter FS-2500
The crankshaft and heads are at the machine shop.
King Engine bearings said they would supply the bearings.
I'm looking for some turbo connecting rods since they have bigger wrist pins right and are stronger? Anybody have a source for cheap?
I've got an AirDogII pump and Auto Meter fuel pressure gauge. I plan on removing the bed and making a good fuel system. Maybe a better transfer valve too for the two tanks? And a Floscan for testing?
What is the best piston to use?
