Unless you have a cable shop that can re-crimp the cable end I wouldn't bother with it. The little cable clamps you can buy are terrible and probably won't hold up.

Bondo?

Ok. Put the truck on the other side and tap it back into place.

Nothing a bfh won't fix.

Sounds like you had a fun night.

I get what your wanting to put it on. The question is why? I don't see what benefit you would see putting water injection on a naturally asperated engine.

Why would you want to?

The belt less accessory drive was pretty cool on that engine.

Now in that case I would keep the detroit.

Not that I have seen. In fact I have seen Canadians complaining they can't buy them. Though this is just my reading. I'm not 100% this is the case. Kinda odd if it's true though. I'd be much happier with a dt466 or 6bt cummins than a detroit. Mostly because I'd love my truck to be...

He shouldn't. Not saying he won't but it's a myth synthetics cause leaks versus modern conventionals. My concern is buying 7 gallons of Rotella t6. Man that ain't cheap. But if it helps him sleep better by all means.

There's a shop here in Shreveport la that will rebuild deuce ip's. Shoot me a pm if your interested.

Yup. Rustystud is dead on. Oil is perfectly acceptable to be inside that cover. Your cover came loose and allowed oil to leak out. Quite a bit of oil circulates through the injector pump to lubricate it. It's a leak that needs to be fixed but I wouldn't call it a catastrophic problem.

Awesome!

Now line your timing marks up and make sure the red tooth is visible. Doesn't need to line up with anything.

The head doesn't come out with the timing marks lined up. Remember the red tooth on the hh isn't a timing mark. Just an indexing mark to remove the hh. When you line up the 2 timing marks on the engine and 4 bolt cover on the ip the red tooth should be visible but it won't line up to the...

Kinda sounds like the hh is 180 out.

Any modern oil with a good detergent package will loosen sludge. Though usually synthetic oils do usually have a good detergent package. But even Rotella 15w 40, delo, or whatever high quality Dino oil will have a stout detergent package. Cheaper oils you would have to see the breakdown of...
