Robbed some parts off my brothers totaled Honda today. Got the clutch master and slave I may use.
The stroke Ike should be good. I'll need to make a bracket to mount the slave and the master does not match firewall perfectly. But it's a common part. I may try to find the ford truck master but they are usually sold as a pre bleed unit so idk how it will work with that setup.
Bit dirty but it's universal enough to work with the remote resivoir and 2 bolt slave. I'll either clean up or buy new replacements once everything goes together.
Well it runs with steering fluid but it is having trouble priming. Either way oil comes out the exhaust so 99% sure it's the turbo so the upgrade may come sooner.
Oil More Had some smoke out this coolant port not sure there what's up. It was white and very very light. Other port where the Tstat is had no smoke Lower coolant port.
Run video sort of. Ran on either. fuel system needs primed and the primer pump may be shot as it did not build pressure.
Either way I will find the oil issue and look into that. Then it's to a carrier pump for the fuel and bleed out injectors and maybe another video running on diesel.
fwiw, running it on ether will purge the system of air rather quickly (huge difference in idle rpm vs cranking). If it won't run after a few seconds of ether, it is likely that there is an injection problem. I wouldn't be surprised if the fuel pump is simply bad, even when the in line injection pumps wear out, they'll typically run. Moral of the story, first place to check is the fuel pump.
Ether is fine to start a diesel engine with one shot, but it's too uncontrollable to keep it running safely. The fuel is injected via the injector 18-10* btdc which starts to combust....there is no telling where the ether begins to combust, and the longer it runs, the sooner it will combust because it's introduced at almost 360* btdc.
The head: if you pull it, port it.
You're getting into the exciting parts of the build!
Ya I'm going to try priming it with the ele pump I have next week. The feed lines are horrible and cracked bad so they may be pulling air and it took about a thousand pumps (not joking) to get fuel in the filter. So I think trying the elec pump is worth the time. It is getting fun the engine will go in the chassis next weekend if weather cooperates with me. The brackets are tacked and ready to be welded in once everything lines up and looks good.
I got a 100 day run warranty so if it's the pump someone can cover a replacement other than me lol.
Also so figured out the side mounts as for how the bushings will go. I'll drill an off center hole anyway to get things lined up when in the frame.
I doubt it's the injection pump, there would have to be catastrophic failure akin to catastrophic rotating assembly failure to keep it from idling, but that's great that it is warranted in the event that it is worn to the point of low power. I bet it fires up with an auxiliary lift pump.
Got the rear mounts nearly done. Just need to drill the mounting holes on the bottom and the holes for the bushing bolt.
