Maybe a failed FSOV. Turn the knurled knob in and see if it will fire. If it does lite, the ign switch will not shut the engine down, you will need to use the e-stop or turn the screw out. PT pumps do not need to be bled, they are a positive displacement pump.
No, it is just very high detergent. Think about it, why would there be grit in ANYTHING that lubricates, cools and is used hydraulically? Your diesel instructor was a tard!
Myself and Hole used to run ATF, hydraulic oil...both new of course, and motor oil as primary fuel. I also used to get free dieselgas. FedEx package car drivers are responsible for fueling their trucks at some locations, so, they would accidentally fill a diesel powered truck with gas. I would...
It meant that the ESN you supplied is for an NTC 250, not a 400. 250hp v.s. 400hp. If you went to a parts place and gave them the ESN supplied here, you would get parts for a 250 HP engine. Heads are the same as are rods, bearings, rockers, but performance parts like turbo, injectors, fuel pump...
You are missing the fact that you do not have a pump stand. Did you take the throttle shaft out? If so, you most likely didn't get the governor weights and assist plunger installed correctly. You tried to adjust a throttle screw. There are ZERO adjustments you can do. You should take the pump...
You have most likely found it. And, an FYI for all that say a "turbo bearing" The bearing isn't a bearing. No moving parts. It is just a bronze bushing that floats and centers itself when the shaft spins there is a thrust on each side of the center housing. If the "bearing" fails, you will have...
If it squeals under a load only, either an exhaust leak before the turbo, like a manifold gasket or the turbo mount gasket, or a compressed air leak, not as in truck system, but compressed combustion air. Look at the clamps for the crossover pipe. Look at the aftercooler mount bolts and the area...
didn't even look at the post I did, someone came over. Here is a copy/paste of the image above, sorry.

Tag on F/P,
0002382 is the s/n given to the part, the 20 in square indicates it is a ReCon fuel pump, the 20 is the week and the square denotes the year, this is of no use to you unless you were the purchaser of the part and were trying to get warranty on something.
0393 is the CPL of the...
Sorry, I don't own one, so no pics available. Everything BELOW the head/block joint is block pressure. Above that joint is only regulated flow, regulated by the holes in the head gasket. So, in order to make flow through the filter, you need to plumb from a pressure source....anywhere below the...
Cams and follower and rods...on the nhc...buy Cummins. You'll be fine with aftermarket cylinder kits, bearings and heads, as long as the aftermarket supplier is reputable, will be good.
Mid stop liner v.s no stop on the 855. The C uses a mid stop liner, it is supported 1/2 way down the liner and is barrel shaped. The 855 is only supported at the counter bore, the top of the liner. There is something like 8 inches of no support. The receiver area is only a crevice seal and an...
Hmmmm, swing an engine and reinvent the wheel with mounts, drivetrain and all the other crap, or put a couple of liners in it....no brainier, do the liners!
That is good stuff, I is in all my vehicles. It is an ELC, but doesn't eat rubber parts. It will also mix with all coolants, glycol based and the red/orange crap and not turn to black goo.
You can drain the block via the plug or draincock at the bottom of the oil cooler cavity, this gets 90% of the block drained. A dry engine holds 3 gallons. It will be easier to use pre mixed so you know that you have the correct concentration for your climate. Just make sure to use a low...
