....so I order new injectors from Mel last week...today I get two batteries hook them up to crank it before I put the injectors in. Finally cranks and oil pressure is low so I think I just put a new oil pressure sending unit on it so I check there and nope not leaking then I see the puddle.... Yep on the drivers side....anybody wanna guess.....?...... Now I need new orings...Napa?

I'm gearing up to do an oil cooler reseal for a buddy of mine at work, I think he's bought O-rings already. Don't want to jinx myself too badly, but mines holding up ok right now. Great time for a coolant flush and oil change, should you be coming due.

 

[IDIoit]

well, look on the bright side!
you get to do an oil change and a coolant flush also!

Just changed the oil...not even 500 miles...and next week I will be in Atlanta for ford school....so it will be a few days before I can do anything to it...

If it was a gas car I'd tell you to capture the oil, but diesel oil in my experience seems to turn black almost immediately upon being exposed to the inside of a engine. It may still be worth capturing, I just hate cleaning up afterwards.

 

[whitehorse]

Yeah...I will just let it go and get some new... Wanna try a different brand any how....

Keep it, filter it, and throw it in the tank!!! WMO for life!!

If I could run my 5.0 on WMO I would!

There is nothing wrong with black oil. We have plenty of soot blowing by the rings so our oil turns black very fast. That does not mean its used up. Save it and run it. you posted it has 500 miles on it. If you throw it out well then next time run new oil for 500 miles and change it too because its dirty looking.. See where I'm going here guys. Every see oil that has 200,000 miles on it and the oil tests say its still doing a good job...

I have cooler stuff in stock. if you can find them easy.

 

[whitehorse]

What kind of coin? Should be cheaper after that bama comment in the lounge thread....

My truck is a 92 but has a 84 engine so I think they where a split year...one had 6 rings and the other had 4 right?

It looks like the later model oil cooler bundles 85-86 6.9, 7.3/7.3 turbo, should be a direct replacement for the early model 6.9 oil cooler bundle with 6 rings.

If your interested in an 7.3 idi turbo oil cooler bundle including new end caps, with new orings and gaskets. I have a spare left over from an engine swap. Pm me if interested.
