Bit of a sidetrack but I got a pair of exhaust manifolds with the core engine. Was thinking of having them ceramic coated and selling them. No idea if they'd sell tho. Good idea or bad idea?
used or new? Oem or not?
sounds like a waste if time and money to coat them just to attempt to sell
Used OEM. I figure maybe make 50-100 dollars off such a sale. Iirc the aftermarket manifolds don't fit very well
aftermarket ones are miserable. Used should be surfaced to make sure flat and good seal. I dont know if there would be much market for them, even if they got coated.
After doing a bunch of reading on the CAT engines, and how it's typical to install a post-HPOP filter to protect injectors, I think I'll go the same route. Dove through the Parker catalog and found a solution that fits the flow and pressure needs (and is affordable on the secondary market). The filter is 2 micron so will help keep larger soot clusters away from the injectors as well.
Not entirely sure. It's about 4in diameter by 7in so not very big, so I'm sure I can find the space. It would be between the HPOP and oil rails.
In fun news, I dug out the pistons to bring to the new shop, but the ceramic coating had been scratched quite a bit by The Old Shop, so they are now back at the coaters to be redone (at my expense).
If I'm reading the pressure delta chart correctly, should be a negligible drop as our pumps flow, at max rpm and rounded up, ~20 LPM. Also has an electronic bypass switch which I'll eventually hook up to a cab light.
If the T800 pump grenades while traveling (it's a new product so long term reliability is unknown) I'm left with just changing oil, filters, and replacing the HPOP vs also having to flush oil rails and replacing damaged non-stock injectors. Should also theoretically reduce wear on the oil side of the injectors.

How many ports does it have? Only saw 3 in the picture, maybe I'm missing one. Does it require a splitter for one of the oil lines coming from the hpop or to the injectors?It's laughable but sounds like your building a 6.7. Pump parts with questionable quality that may or may not randomly grenade. Reminds me of the Disaster Prevention Kit for the 6.7, except on the oil side. I wonder if it vibrates or pulses when it's running. The DPK for the 6.7 pulsates quite a bit and has to be isolated. Cool concept but adds too many high pressure lines for my liking.
I'm a person who gets very specific ideas on how things "ought" be done.
The Racor CCV I'm putting on the engine is far more superfluous than this thing. I don't like oil in the intake, I don't like the oil film that migrates out from the boots, I don't like soot laden aerosol abrading the intake valves. So the effort is worthwhile to me as the situation won't bug me anymore.
At least with this I have some semblance of justification and it's cheap!

I was looking at it wrong, I now see the ports are on either side of the housing, not on the top. Going to run a T-fitting on each side with two hoses going to/from each? Suppose there are a few ways to do it.
