Compression is a tad different from spark. When a rod bearing goes in a compression engine, it will not run long without a giant failure..lots more pressure involved. My speculation is other than engine. Follow Gimp and Toms advice. You sound skilled, I think you'd know the smell of the oil if...

If you have any coolant in the oil, it will show up on the filler cap and under the valve covers as a white/grey goo before it shows up as emulsified water/coolant and oil in the pan. Check that first. As for the oil leak you have, if you have old style gaskets, when they fail, they will spray...

Welcome! There are a few SteelSoldiers up there in Wa. Thanks for not using the FNG thing!!

That won't hurt anything unless you plan on powering sensitive electronics.

I do believe that those are both whiskies! Send me some and i'll tell you how things work out :D

Nah, too small. It is very cool! No data tag on it?

Simple things first, I'd do the shut off then the mess making plunger check.

We need another forum....the medic tent! Thanks guys. This thing is going on 5 days now. It is killing me to sit still!

I'm feelin' pretty crappy. I just wanna sleep. I only have my laptop as of now, the PC is infected. I don't have access to all the little artwork goodies right now. I plan of getting the PC to the Dr. on Monday. I'll start as soon as I can on the shirt idears. I have the front all picked out...

Exactly. The big end bearing is as big as it can be due to the canted rod. The rod design allows for the lergest possible big end bearing to be used and keep the block casting as narrow as possible.

That is incorrect. Most all of the modern HHP diesels have canteed rods and they are fracture split. Not just HHP, little 3.3L engines are like that too.

You mean torque method on the injectors. The reason behind going the extra .020 or so is that on a used engine all the parts wear, x-head guide, x-head, valve stems, x-head adjuster screw. The amount given is incorrect in my opinion because the stuff doesn't wear uniformly. The way to set a...

To service, spin a new element on it.

The big end is canted like that for a couple of reasons. To allow for the largest possible big end bearing and to keep the dimensions of the block casting as narrow as possible. Nothing to do with ease of maintenence.

You only need to worry about that if you want the heated flavor.

I got a sharp knife
