I did my STC fitting update and got everything reinstalled, but to me it looks like the HPOP my be a little bit off... but maybe I am crazy lol. Look at the pics and let me know what you guys think.
I will say that on one of the HPOP mounting bolts the "sleeve" came out and was sitting in the driver's side mounting hole closest to the front of the engine. I removed it the rest of the way and put it back inside the HPOP... hoping this didn't mess anything up. Any input is appreciated.
Thanks (pictures to come shortly, have to upload them from my phone)
Nothing really sticks out that I can see. What do you feel is the issue?
on the right side it sticks up a little more than on the left and there is a larger "gap". Maybe it is nothing, however I thought when I looked at it before pulling it out, it was completely flush.
I'm not familiar enough with the later build HPOP covers, but I'm sure someone else will chime in. I guess if you can see the gasket I would be a little leary but this could very well be something others have seen.
When I did my STC fitting change the HPOP did not stick up like that. It was like what you see in the videos for STC fitting changes. If you decide to pull the cover and recheck everything, I recommend cutting off the ear by the EGR cooler. It makes life so much easier if you have to remove the cover with the EGR cooler installed.
