You want to go to any diesel injection pump service shop, they will have a pop tester any diesel injection SERVICE center not SALES marketing clowns will know what they are doing. Diesel engine rebuild shops usually would never have one why? they rebuild motors and cylinder heads. Also these new I c...

Intercooler?

I hauled my 79 to the scrapper like that as well in the back of a 96 ford f-150 but I cut the car and folded it in half first then put the back section in sidways and the front end hung out the back, never took a picture though.

Hey y'all. Heres the deal, my car starts all the time easily except when I park at work for 10 hours and its on a slight grade with the nose on the up high part. It sits in the heat all day and whe I go to leave it fires right away revs to 1000rpm and shuts off. Today it did that 15 times till it fi...

Yeah when it bottoms out and you drop the head on their is enough room for the nut. You can tell the threads are better quality they so not wiggle around in the block like the POS headbolts do.

You mean the oil cooler hoses? The hoses that connect to the oil cooler? Not too many other things you can call it I guess. Just don't say a whatchmadingle or a thingamabob and some parts people can actually visualize something when you talk to them and describe what your after but then again maybe ...

Put the humping rabbit one on they should have come factory with that methinks.

I changed the oil just in case(didn't have any water in the oil anyways) I got about 500 miles on it and the oil level stays exactly where it was on the dipstick and for maybe the first ti...

Hello anyone on here know where you can buy a MPG guage that would work on the old diesels. It would be neat to have a instant MPG reading meter.

I have never seen biodiesel at ANY pump, never been to the States for awhile. Maybe I will wait till I have time and set up a grease system and do the 2nd tank.

Quaker state 15w-40. I use this all year round +40cel to -40cel. Maybe in the winter I should switch to a lighter oil.

yes use the temp gun. quick easy foolproof.

What do you guys run? I have 100 at idle cold summer temps. When I am driving highway speeds its 120 cold and back down to 75-80 psi warm. Maybe I should have went with a smaller oil pump. The one I got on the enigne is the one that you have to go out and get longer bolts to install it to the block....
