I'd love to see a IDS graph after your done. I keep telling people you can rebuild them at home, but keep getting told you can't because you need to flow test them. I call BS..

I dont have IDS, But I do have Torque Pro and Forscan. I will be able to see of my cylinder imbalance code goes away. And, I can tell you there are not that many moving parts to these. I have rebuilt much tougher. Transmissions, carburetors, Engines, Boat motors, etc.. There is nothing hard about these, at all. That I can tell. what the heck would flow testing do for you anyway, there are no adjustments, that I can see, that you could correct with. I cant wait to fire them up, fingers crossed. First transmission I rebuilt, I was told to leave it to the profesionals. lol. It worked like new when I was done. Its all about paying attention to detail. If you want my 2 cents.
Yahiko, Ive been using 900 grit wet paper with a shot of deisel for my preliminary polishing and cleaning. do You think I should go to a more agressive grit for the swirl pattern? 350? Or stick with the 900?
Nit sure on that. I am sort of thinking a finer finish like when polishing
a flat mirror or lens might be in order. The only way to know for sure
would be to open up a new unused Ford reman.
Also you may want to be sure that the surfaces remain parallel.
I know where you can get a VCM2 with IDS
The thoughts about a flow test are sound in the face that the tolerances
are so close that a bad intensifier or sticking spool valve should show up.
But I think it would also show up with IDS on a uncompensated power
balance test.

what is a "vcm2 with ids" you got my attention. as far as the injector finish, I watched a video of the actual ford reman injectors, i dont think they where mirror finish? they where circular ground. I'll watch it again. cant hurt. As for dimensions on the plates. I dont think I'm taking that much off. but maybe. We will see, its gonna be a fun ride.
Here you go with the correct tool number. Int the photos you will see a cup.
That is in the photo so you know how large the brush set is. I found that using
the 303-D111 aka pine cone brush first and then the 303-D112 aka broom to
finish up with gives the best job.The pine cone takes all the crap off the walls
and the broom cleans the seal seat and seems to pickup all the crud that falls
off in the process. Between bores I (just me) like to use the air nozzle to blow off
the brushes so I start clean for each hone.
I think I have some bore scope photos of dirty and clean stages. Also in the upper
half of the bore you will find the fuel gallery.
I'll post the other photos later after I pick out the best ones. Need to trim it down from 67 photos.
this is how it started. ultrasonic cleaned all the parts. Carb cleaned all parts. I polished all plate surfaces with 900 wet or dry, wet with diesel. I did not take much, just enough to polish. Sprayed everything with diesel during assembly. Except the top end. I used royal purple assembly lube.
plate on the left gets the bearing in the hole showing. Plate on the right gets the little baffle. I think I have better pics of it actually going together.
