Well 1600 seems a little excessive. .lol did he not know any better, or was he seeing how far he could push it?

After reading this, it makes me think that 1,200 EGT isn't going to hurt the pistons, the oil is pulling most of the heat out of it. I had the old pistons running at 1,400 EGT and not one sign of them melting or pitting.

I finished the brakes on the rear today, put a new intake manifold heater on, this one works..lol. Also put a fuel pressure gauge in the filter housing. 35 at idle and 75 psi at 2400. Only 2 pounds with just the lift pump, time to change the filters. I had put a new fuel tank, pump and sending...

The intake rockers are way different. The geometry is where they are different. The angle that the pushrod contacts the lifter is way different. I measured both rockers, using 123 blocks and precision brown n sharp feller gages. I have the results written down somewhere.

I did the same exact thing with my new shoes. When I put the drum on, the shoes were dragging bad, I got tired of messing with it. This morning I went back to it, I adjusted the front shoe first, bottom, then top. Went to the rear shoe that was dragging bad, adjusted the bottom, then the top...

I just put new wheel cylinder and shoes on my rear axle, I had the same issue as you had. Guess I'll I'll have to mess with it tomorrow. The top of the rear shoe is dragging. I got tired of messing with it today.

Just the intake rockers are different. I bought the intake rockers from WBParts.com Part number 11641735 NSN 2815-00-178-1184

The injectors are new rebuilt units. They have all new parts inside, new springs, plunger rod, nozzles and needles. They apparently have been setting on a shelf for several years, when they are rebuilt, they are oiled. The oil turns to varnish over several years, like a carburetor will do. The...

I installed 5 of the new LDS single hole injectors today, had one bad one. The 6th injector is a new 2 hole. This is a total different sounding engine now. It has a lope to it at idle. It's definitely hitting on all 6 cylinders now. Every injector line I cracked, gave a big response. I'll...

Well, the new LDS one hole injectors came today. I decided to pop test them, and make sure they all are within range. Opened the first box, and the nozzle was covered in varnish. It did not pop, I took it apart and soaked it in carburetor cleaner. Had a hard time getting the needle out of the...

I cleaned and pop tested my original injectors. I thought they were good, but after installing one new injector, I realized how bad they are. The didn't leak, but the spray pattern and even the sound of them was way different than the new injector. Like I said before, when I cracked the...

Just ordered 6 new injectors from Memphis Equipment. $54 n change per injector. They are the single hole injectors used in the LDS-465-1A engines. Thought I'd go with those, seeing that I have the LDS pump, pistons and rockers.

I have the screw adjustable style, it takes an Allen key. The new style takes a flat head screwdriver.

Okay, thank you!

Will brake drums come off without pulling the axle and hub?

I'm glad you finally got a good running engine.

No need to, I already have a new injector to compare them to. The difference is so obvious.

So after verifying that all of my fuel lines are clean, I pulled 2 injectors today and pop tested them. I tested the brand new injector that was in number 1 cylinder and then tested one that I cleaned and reset. Their is a huge difference between them, night and day. I'm convinced that my old...

I bought a pop tester from Amazon.
