Installed the RR HPX line.

and got rid of the loud valve train tick on number 6 or number 8 cyl. Idle has smoothed out and the 7.3 sounds allot better. Glad I did it.

I did the hpx line and the 140 idm at the same time, and that smoothed out my idle a little bit.

My HPX smoothed out my idle a little bit. It wasn't bad, but it was a little annoying.

Just make sure you watch the fittings. Some of them are known to blow out blowing 600-3,000 PSI of oil out under the hood.

True if you install incorrectly.

I've known of guys making their own and having that problem mostly.

I've got one on my truck and it smoothed out the engine quite nicely. Make sure you put new o-rings on it if you need to remove it for any reason.

When I get some other things done, I'm gonna put one on my truck. I'd like to smooth it out a little, especially at idle. It's got that "blat blat blat blat" idle.

Our trucks have a weak cylinder due to the oil pressure routing.

The only way to eliminate it is with HPX or dual HPOPs.

I really need one also.

I think I'll get one for the hell of it the next chance I have some buckaroonies.
