Interesting. Well maybe both my landlords and my vacuum gauges are inaccurate but I doubt that even though they are both the same cheap sunpro brand. Mine read vacuum on diesel even right when I first started it on diesel before ever running veggy oil. And now that I have my veggy system running jus...

I'm running a vw rabbit truck with a 1.6 N/A diesel. My landlord has been running his rabbit truck for the last 3 years on wvo 2 tanks with a 1.6 diesel and has a freshly rebuilt injection pump. With his old injection pump he wouldn't pull any vacuum till he had a filter start to clog so maybe you h...

Okay so its a blockage somewhere in my diesel system. It was pulling so much pressure that it was pulling wvo at startup and shut down somehow partially bypassing the pollack valve. I took out the valve and hooked it up to just diesel and it didn't want to run so I filled it with another 6 gallons o...

Hi I was wondering what kind of vacuum those of you with a vacuum gauge are pulling. In the mornings at like 30 degrees Fahrenheit or so on cold diesel I'm pulling a solid 10 or so at idle and I wanted to see how high I could get it the other day and I got it up to 18 giving it quite a bit of the sk...

with the copper antisneeze on the head bolts, do they grab and make death sounds or is it a smooth torque process? -dan No death sounds just completely smooth. I've been driving it around for a bit over a week now. I don't know how many miles cause the odometer broke at just before 300,000 miles ab...

Hey Coke do you start at 44 ft lbs and then do the half turn? Thats what I did but just in two 1/4 turns. Then stripped.

I would guess from measuring that there is half an inch of good threads left in the block. It would sure be nice if the threads went all the way to the top of the block. Oh and $90 for the headbolts looks like it was for a gasser so $124 vs $160. I wonder if about half an inch could really be enough...

Towing a boat with a diesel Caddy? How small of a boat?

Yeah I was thinking afterwards that it might be too much lubrication. I should stop listening to people on the internet. haha. And the 12 mm bolts went down just as far in the threads with both heads. There were the two that the washers got hung up but only 1 of them was sucked down and the threads ...

Heres a few pictures. The truck is extremely rust free and in pretty good shape. It was super dirty when I got it and the interior was all nasty and mildew infested of coarse from the common water leak onto the fusebox. A new windshield will be going in after she is going down the road trouble free....

Jordan : read it all !. hagar. Wow amazing. So what do you think? I might try to throw some heli coils or time serts in the block and see if they will hold but I don't think that I have the balls to torque this thing to spec now as these bolts sure don't seam to stretch and just mess things up. If ...

Well I picked up my first Diesel the other day. A 1981 Rabbit Truck LX. I traded the guy for my 1997 Jetta 2.0 that I had about $1100 into and he gave me $100 on top of that. It started and ran great but was missing the coolant overflow cap. I took it for a short test drive and it ran good but coola...
