You shouldn't fill the engine mounted filter. The pieces parts you can't see will f the pump up, class fit parts do not like unfiltered diesel gas. Easiest way is to put pressure in the tank, but that doesn't need to be done. Just pump the primer bulb 'till it gets firm. You will hear the...
Depends on which method you used, inner base, or outer base. Inner base, adjusting A-I3, V5 - B-I6, V3...etc or outer base, adjusting A-1 V&I , B- 5 V&I...etc. If you did 6 in lb on the inner base method, you are good UNLESS the inj springs were weak and the 6 in lb pushed the plunger too deep...
You might want to verify the o/c repair. Drain the oil, let it drip for a few hours, remove the drain pan and replace with some cardboard, leave the drain plug out. Put pressure on the cooling system and walk away, have a beer or your fav bev and come back in a hour. See if there is water on...
The above is correct about the oil needing to be above the boiling point of water. Water will also ruin bearings, coolant or water will displace the oil film and cause rust on the journals of the crank, cam, rocker shafts, cam follower shafts, etc. Take the valve covers off and clean the goo off...
You can unload the compressor by removing the discharge line and put shop air to the unloader, just an FYI, early diesel rngines will not turn combustion gas leak fluid green or yellow, i think it has to do with the timing differences in mechanical v.s. electronic engines. To the op, if...
The drive coupling can be difficult sometimes. I don' t know what your mechanical abilities are. The governor plunger rides on the main shaft, that is sorta important.
1st, you should see if there is a leak you can't hear. Pressurise the system with the engine not running and see if it leaks. if no leaks, next put air into the system through the discharge line and see if it airs fast, if not, you could have an obstruction. Does the truck have an air dryer? if...
P pump is much better than the MW. Even in stock form the MW gave users fits with smoke issues, mainly in school bus applications. It is a dealio to change up to a P from an MW.
Late 1990. There were some external dampened, aftercooled, fixed time engines made, not too many though. 1991 was the start of the CELECT system and there was a step time control version up to 1994. After that, all electric.
Man, I hope you don't talk like you type!
The L10 is an ok engine IF you get the later, external damper engine. the early internal damper engines had cam, block, head issues. They are shorter, depending what it came out of, the flywheel hsg could work. You will need to make mounts. STAY AWAY...
If the tips of the injectors have no carbon on them, they ain't firing and never have. No one cylinder gets more fuel than another. diesel fuel injection is a very precise event.
