Had some time to kill this evening. I decided to check the basics, even though the previous owner said the IP had never been removed. Since it’s easy to do a check and fairly quick, i decided to look at the IP timing to engine timing. First I pulled the front valve cover to verify TDC on the...

On the topic of the delivery valve. Would I get fuel flow from on top of the HH from the 3/4” bolt if the delivery valve was blocked?

I’ll pull the fuel delivery valve again this evening and give it another flush. The little “nub/pin” is on the end of the fuel control rod. The fuel shutoff block does slide freely and moves under its own weight.

I appreciate everyone’s feedback. Y’all sure have helped this new guy a lot already! Thank you.

On my way home from work this evening I stopped at Napa and picked up a fresh can of starting fluid. I made zero changes from where I left off. Anyways, I turned on my main power, I let fuel cycle for 2mins, I sprayed three small puffs into the turbo. Then I hit the Start button, she obviously...

I found a used hydraulic head for $100. It will be removed from an injection pump that was removed from a truck and labeled as “leaking from top”. He was asking $300 for the entire pump but wasn’t willing to ship it because of weight. He said he would remove and ship only the HH for $100...

Ill give anything a shot!

Next time I pull out the HH I’ll take a video. When assembled on the bench it does spin fairly easy, gear and all. So wear could be a good guess. Something else I noticed is the up/down slop of the entire assembly when assembled on the bench also. Hard to explain I guess. As for the booster, I...

Had a few hours to burn tonight, so I pulled the HH. The button and 3prong clip were still attached like they should. The plunger guide’s writing was facing out like mentioned above so that was good. I disassembled everything again and cleaned it. All passages were free and clear and flushed...

I just seen the “bread loaf” term used in another YouTube video. It was used to describe how the plunger and guide is cut. Three sides are straight cut and one side is rounded, so it make it look like a bread loaf from the side haha

Unless that’s old residue from the injector lines or in the cylinders(hopefully not a bad head gasket) the fuel systems has been completely gone through up to the IP. I removed the tank completely, cleaned, acid washed, rinsed, all multiple times. Let dry and then used a shop vac for any...

To be honest, I would like to think I got it reassembled the same way, but unfortunately I can’t say for sure now that it’s back in the truck. I do remember lining up the “bread loaf” on the plunger to the guide so I assumed it was correct. Then the guide only goes into the gear one way because...

Well no luck again, crank but no start. This time I am getting small puffs of white out of the stack. Quick question,will the fuel pressure after the booster pump raise while cranking or only when running? I noticed my gauge on my secondary filters stays around 9psi while cranking., which is...

Took out that delivery valve and it was gummed up and frozen. I soaked it for about 15mins and then I was able to get it to spin but still wouldnt move vertically. Another 15mins and I was able to fish it out. Cleaned it all up and she slid in nicely. I have everything buttoned back up. Just...

Holy crap! I dont remember seeing the 3 prong clip now that I think about it as it was my first time in there! I walked out to the garage just now and guess what, it was still laying down in the hole and unharmed. When the baby lays down for her first nap I’ll see what the wife will let me...

I will tomorrow. But for now, batteries are good and up to charge as I’ve been float charging them in anticipation. Seems to spin ok without any real struggle or abnormalities, that I can tell, but any recommendations I’ll give a shot. Zero smoke of any sort from the exhaust stack. When the...

Yes and no. When I purchased it, it had been sitting for 1.5yrs, but according to previous owner it did when he parked it. In my 1mth or so ownership, no it hasn’t, because the tank was nasty and needed work. Then I found the in tank pump was bad, so I dealt with that. Cleaned all the filter...

It was the absolute smallest dab of grease, but I appreciate your response, I’ll pull the HH again later. Problem is, I was getting ZERO fuel before and after applying the bit of grease

I used a dab of grease to hold the button on and then after carefully reinstalling the HH and all the lines, I purposely left one line COMPLETELY disconnected from the HH. I filled that unused injector line hole(on top of HH) with PB blaster, cranked the engine, nothing came out or went back in...

Yep did that when I replaced the oring behind the lever
