You funny funny guys...
It made 200 pretty much stock...lol

Travis thinks I'm north of 500 now...

Just trying to get by with the ol dog...


Tick tock...tick tock...lol

 

I got an update from my mechanic last night....

 

Just pulled or ready to go back in?

Can't remember what all you're doing to it, but I'd suggest gutting the EBPV while the engine is out.

 

Just pulled...tranny rebuild... then compression test...depending on results ...depends on how much further i go...

 

More pictures coming shortly... but for now...

Glow plugs came out easy peasy! WOO HOOO!

Wrong testing equipment so no answer on the compression test, YET. BOO!

 

Penny for damage size comparison purposes...


Does the turbine side have a natural curve to the blades or is this one worn?

 

This glow plug looked to have rust on it...at least an orange tint to the tip, normal?

I also had one that was white on the tip...

 

The reason why I need up pipes if compression is good!

 

Any one know of a way to trace model and serial numbers of the injectors to the mfg date? I would like to know how old these are! Everything looks new under the valve covers....

I assume the AA means I have AA injectors (aka Stock)...

 

Glow plugs all had the same numbers and country of origine as the new ones I bought at ford.... Serious plus there!

 

I am a little concerned about the uvch...passangerside was leaking...I am thinking these may have been dorman brand... as seen by the china tag in the next post....

 

That compressor wheel looks pretty munched. I would get a comp test done before deciding anything. I wonder what got in there.

 

These pins looked good

 

The word china on this is what concerns me....would you guys agree?

 

Yeah, if the compression test checks out, then I'd swap all that china crap for Ford SD UVCHs, etc. As far as the uppies and toasted compressor wheel... I'm thinking S366
