fuel lines

I cant remember which lines go to which heads on motor from hpop to head. I think the one closer to front of truck go's to passinger side, is that right. plus, am I supposed to line something up when installing HPOP back on. I just guided it on, bolted the two 10 mm, and threaded on the 18mm. tried to start it to get oil/fuel out of glow plug holes, and it seemed to just spin, not crank over. help

It shouldn't matter but you don't want one to rub on the other. If you just did the HPOP why did you take out the glow plugs? Unplug the big plug on the valve cover turn it over to build HPO then plug it back in and firer it up. I did a few things when I did mine but just put my tuner in the no start mode turned it over a few times to build pressure to the injectors then took it out of no start and fired it up. Worked great for me. After that take a drive, say twenty miles or so to blead the air out. I took mine of the freeway and changed tunes from stock to 100hp and others to say 80mph off and on, worked great and know more air.

I took the glow plugs out to remove left over oil/fuel in cylinders (did my injector o-rings also) was going through oil like crazy, 5
quarts in 5 miles. Changed o-rings in oil cooler also. It had too be leaking there, because the o-rings on that were ****ed up. and it was nasty down there. put new orings in HPOP (they were trashed), put new o-rings on injectors, they were trashed, two of them anyway. so hopefully no more oil leaks. know what I'm sayin'

Like Chet said, really doesn't matter front rear/left right. Whatever hpop hose reaches and fits will be fine.

So it spun and cleared the cylinders? All buttoned up and won't start?

I run a FRx kind of deal so my drivers side fuel line is ran differently but still shows stock passenger side location. But like mentioned it doesn't matter.

Really? That is interesting. We have the same year truck too, although yours is an Ex, so maybe they did something different.

Yeah, in the pic I posted you can see the passenger side line is stock and runs to the front of the bowl. It is interesting because it wouldn't be very easy to bend up the lines and make them fit in either/or fitting. It would take obvious bending and struggle to get them in the "wrong" fittings.

I took front cover off HPOP off again to check the 18mm bolt that I had just tightened, and it was so loose. I have been trying to get torque wrench. don't have 95 dollars for deposit to rent one, don't really know anyone around here. getting really frustrated, it's been down for a month. any diesel mech here in
fountain Co.
the very first time I started it (to try and purge fuel/oil from cylinders) it cranked, then just spun after that (sounded like starter spinning) I had forgotten to connect fuel lines on HPOP, so oil everywhere. it was a bummer dude!

Holy cow Jerry. That sucks. It needs 96 ft/lbs and someone holding the crank or you are going to have issues.

The hpop has a keyway or flat or something on its shaft? Or is it just a slide on gear and the nut holds it in place?

No key way. It is a gear on a shaft that is held in place by a bolt with a thick washer/spacer. The specs call for 96 ft/lbs in order to hold it in place.
