Hello one and all.
Well, I pulled the engine, removed everything, pulled off the last valve cover and the oil baffle inside the valve cover with the vent valve was bouncing off the valve train.
Can you say metal in the engine?
Guess I will scratch the oil pump and the oil cooler.
Promar engine was going good until the valve cover contaminated it.
So much for a 3 year warranty when my valve cover took a dump on it.
Now the engine is out, I ordered the Allison this morning and will wait 2 or 3 weeks for it to show up. Apparently Portland is a slow delivery zone and while the rest of the nation can get that kit in about 2 weeks tops, Portland is a dead zone, so add another week or even mo-ore for delivery of that kit.
Meanwhile I need to go through the 7.3 idiT with new oil pump, oil cooler, Bearings just because I am opening it up, add a girdle I ordered yesterday, and ??? Yes, I will get to pull the crank IF, IF the bearings are anywhere near funky looking.
Guess I am looking for a valve cover with the vent and baffle.
This ought'a be fun.
