    piston photos - cracks, chips, etc

    Yes maybe they were set up that way originaly but after cronic problem with cracked piston the military went to the duel injector nozzles to better disperse the ( atomized) fuel to which it corrected the cracked piston problems. A member here once posted a link to a article done by Army tank and...

    piston photos - cracks, chips, etc

    I would say that one time or another that the nozzles weren't atomizing the fuel correctly and instead they were spraying fuel directly on the (hot) piston., From what I've read in the past this was a common problem with single port/nozzle injectors and the military then went to the 2 port...

    For aesthetic purposes I mounted Backup elec fuel pump under the truck back by the fuel tank. there is a fuel line coupling on the frame rail ( by drivers side rear shock ) that you can use to install brass hose nipples to plumb the fuel line so no fuel line cutting. When I did my fuel pump I...

    Run a 4 cylinder on just 2?

    Heck a 003A burns the same amount of fuel at half load ( 5kw) that a 002a burns at full load (5kw) so the 003A is just as efficient as the 002A and its not going to be working as hard
