Here are pictures showing the moroso oil filter adapter so I could use the oil cooler.The electric fan is also wired up now with a thermal switch upon the oil line.
Here are some additional details.A milodon stock capacity oil pan closed up the lower end with a trw standard volume oil pump.The crank is a .010/.010 with a new sealed power camshaft and nos ford 7.3 powerstroke lifters from 1994.They use the same lifters as the 6.2/6.5 diesels as well.Arp main...
I think I have it figured out.Here’s how it sounds now.Its two videos in one basically.The first video shows no funnel in place for pouring in transmission fluid.Its also before I used the liquimoly diesel injector cleaner.The second video has the funnel in place and the liquimoly as been added...
Hey guys.I finally have my 1981 5.7 diesel all assembled and running after a rebuild.Its running pretty good now after using some liquimoly diesel injector cleaner.Any idea how to post videos here?Thanks
I’d take a gamble on a Chinese block too if I had no choice.It looks like a nice casting.Like Will said not everything made in China is bad.I’ve heard of some guys using those blocks in the past.If the rotating assembly is balanced I feel you won’t have a single issue.
My injector pop tester has arrived.The first tester was damaged in transit and I had to get another one.I will check these injectors either today or tomorrow and see how they turn out.
They look genuine to me anyway.I’ll definitely use them in the near future.All the injectors are sold out now anyway.Everything made now or a few years back isn’t always counterfeit.There are still good genuine sets available out there.
I received one set of injectors today and the 2nd set I ordered are now on its way.I’ve spoken to a few guys who have bought them also and everyone seems happy for the most part.
Only 3 sets left.
The new lower control arms I ordered from Napa arrived yesterday for my 96 gmc truck.I have to say they are excellent quality and just as good as the moog brand I installed recently.Still waiting on the passenger side mevotech control arm to arrive from Amazon to finish up the 96 Chevy truck.
This evening on eBay I purchased a new daytime running light module for my 96 Chevy truck.Total cost was $96 delivered.I bought the same module for my 96 gmc truck last year and the new replacement made the daytime running lights function again for the first time in years.
Your right.I should be spanked for doing so…lmao….Just couldn’t resist.I have a 13 Passat that runs well for me so if I add a little VW to the mix it might make things that much better.🤷
This evening I decided to give these Volkswagen brake shields a go and mount them to my 96 Chevy truck.I’m pretty sure I can make these work by drilling and tapping three holes in the steering knuckle.It may need a slight trim here and there but I don’t mind doing that.These are from Amazon and...
