Hey Byron. Hes not replacing them, just new orings means the motors out and he will be in there. He may put stage ones in down the road.👍

Hey Darrin. Yeah that makes sense, I didn't see that part. I just saw where he said they're going to need to be replaced soon anyway based on mileage.

Hey Byron, good to see you around!!!

And yeah, as fordman said, putting new orings on now......"if" you read the internet, people say to start questioning them around 150k which i did but after seeing how well this motor was cared for, i think the injectors will stay for a bit till i get to phase two, more power

Keith,
I bought 2 versions, i'll let you know which works best and you can def borrow them.

Got her cleaned up good today, progress is being made, no time rush to get it back in either so able to take our time. Got a boat load of new things for her so she won't even know what happened when she cranks back over!

Appreciate everyone's help!!

Hey man, good to see you doing some good work on the OBS! Nice job. Yeah, save those for the second run since they were maintained well. Looking forward to the finished product.

Hpop isn't hard to do in the truck especially with out the fuel bowl since ur doing e fuel.

To each his own but I would go with a Bosch 17* from riffraff due to being an OEM product. I read about too many of no starts with T500's, to easily discourage me from one. Heck if I ever where to put injectors in they would be AC injectors due to being stage one OEM.

CNC Fab for the HPOP. Corey is top notch and very easy to get ahold of.

Pumps already in the mail to Terminator, don’t make me feel bad! They are now rebuilding the core I send (that’s what Clay told me) and I had zero issues with mine so hopefully things are good and I can get the air out of the system quickly.

We replaced the starter about 3 years ago with a “high torque” starter from summit and it seems to work really well.

I would take the time to look into the scores in the cylinder wall in the last photo, run your fingernail across them, how deep are they
