Two Jeep trips, one the weekend before, one the week after, looks like I am a no show.....again

They are BIG and slow. Check into the price of tires. Ever seen one in person? Come south to the Museum and have a look.

Easy with the starting smelling salts, it likes to loosen carbon and stick rings.

Man, I was about to crack a beer in celebration of forward progress, Dammmm, no beer for me tonite!

OBC method is quicker. They need to make sure they have the correct injectors for the CPL, remember different lobe lifts. Non TS injectors and OBC don't care what the lift is, but a short top stop and a cam profile greater than the top stop will cause damage IBC or OBC. They NEED to make certain...

See post 8. You can also adjust by OBC method. The procedure for checking the Acc. dr. timing it there too. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?73256-Nhc250-valve-injector-overhead-adjusting

Didn't answer your Q's, sorry. Cracked cups can fracture into small pie piece shaped parts that can come out of the retainer, only seen that a couple of times, so that's why I mentioned it. Yes it causes cylinder and head damage. The most common thing that happens is the bending of push tubes...

Another "thing" small cam, non top stop engines were known for for dillution was a failed cam lobe. A little history..... The reason TS injectors came about was to relieve the pressure on the cam lobe from the non top stop injector spring pressure always riding on the lobe with force. The top...

6 in lb is the "normal" top stop injector setting for IBC setting. IF it was set at 16 in lb using the inner base method, injector 3, valve 5, inj 6, v, 3, etc, the stroke of the injector was shortened by the amount the 16 inch lb torque took up, the top stop was not in play, injector spring...

Yeah, Mil Spec gauges are less than optimal.

Have you guys been re huck bolting them?

Use grease to hold the gaskets in the groove, DO NOT over tighten the cans, you will cut the gasket.

Rusty, does your truck have power steering?

Can't wait to see the finished product. On a side note, frame flanges shouldn't be drilled. The flange is the strong point. You should glove the frame if you intend to put weight in it.

Have you been just starting and letting it idle/short hop to the beer store? Take it out and run it on the highway.

Looks like they did things wrong up top by the way it smokes. Why did they NOT put like for like injectors back in? Top stops are fine, but i'm not understanding why they had to change to a totally different type. If they did the overhead wrong and set the injectors too tight/not in the correct...

Gear housing, pump drive gear, fuel lines need changing. For the lines you will need an ESN for a P pumped C with an aftercooler so you can get the lines. When the P pump was introduced, IIRC 1994, the engines went from aftercooled to charge air cooled. Industrial kept aftercooling for a time...

Yup, that's a good one!

Take it to the shop

That is what I meant, the environment it was in while opened up. The size of the hit on the piston and head is what would determine the reuse of the rod. One little piece stuck in a piston from a failure in another cylinder, it would be ok. If the crown is unrecognizable, time for a rod.
