I have heard about these little suckers- the rocker buttons- but my valve train sounds fine and I do not relish removing the fuel lines to get the valve cover off... I have bad luck with those fuel lines :queasy:!
Other than a metal clicking/tapping noise suggestive of worn valve train, is...
Aces and Tim,
Your Feed the Beast write-ups were both excellent (found at this site and the old site, respectively). Aces, I especially appreciated your contrasting of TD's method with your own (i.e. use of different fittings, etc.; one thing that would help Ace's post are a few more...
Thanks for the replies so far, and sorry about not having my signature up. I think the sig is up now.. I have an "F" intake (however, it is an "S" engine).
I will inspect my loom, and I was thinking of checking any grounds that may be behind the engine on the firewall or close proximity...
I have to track down a fuel leak that appears to be originating somewhere in the valley of the beast. To do this I will be removing both upper and lower intakes, and wanted some suggestions about what maintenance, upgrades or mods I can do while I have the top of the engine exposed. Here are a...
I am thinking that the the fuel lines (from IP to injectors) were not tightened properly or the rubber return lines (including the rubber caps) were not properly fastened onto the injectors.
Actually, this is more of a question: If there was a leak coming from where the injector body threads...
"Wow" is right! I am beginning to see the different points of view more clearly. Thanks for the great information, and thanks to THEFERMANATOR for putting some numbers into the mix--it helped me wrap my head around what we are talking about.

Thanks TD. I do speak with Ian and Todd, usually when I order (I am a HDP parts-junkie, btw :rofl: ), but I have yet to be given a good answer about their overall conceptual engine building philosophy.
The closest was when Ian intimated that they were looking at higher compression (than stock)...
If there was a simple way to summarize Heath's approach to power without lowering compression, would it be based on the hydraulic concrete coating for the engine?
The article on Bill Heath's/Heath Diesel's Bonneville truck was a fun read and the truck looks great. I will be rooting for Bill and his team to exceed 130 mph for a record:thumbsup:!
I was left confused about the logic behind some of the engine build features, and hopefully the...
