Next ones in. Gotta say, this one could be new, it looks so good. I put a couple layers of aluminum turkey roaster pan over the heat shield to try to reflect the heat away.

Oh, coffee, forgot about that. That's breakfast.

Oops, I forgot to put the tinfoil in my hat. I'm better now:)

I tried. Mains, rods, pump, and turbo. Gotta be the ones that require pulling the engine. Maybe I can connect a bicycle pump to the oil pan and pump as I drive? I bet a vacuum pump hooked up at the latest cam bearings would pull the oil through. Maybe I'll put a manual fuel pump in and pump...

My medicinal juice these days is diet lemonade. The injuries are just parked for the course, at least it seems that way.

Turbo off. Lines off. I have 3 15mm flare wrenches. I cut two 12 point box wrench open, and one 6 point. One of the 12 points I cut into a short. Between the three I can get the pump fittings off. I'm just really, really sick of reworking this engine, knowing the cam bearings are whipped.

Hey, if they don't warranty mine, I'll have one to sell too!!!

And, drum roll, it's raining.

Sometimes you need to drink to much and break things? Oh, read that wrong.

Nope, sipping a nice, I'd glass of fake lemonade.

Frickin sweat running in my eyes, on my glasses, hands oily, trying to clear my sight.

Not sure, am I supposed to have one of those?

I'm down to the pump and lines. Nice cut on both index finger on the aluminum backing on the runner gaskets. Hoping I can leave the turbo alone. Not likely.

Ayup.

I'm going to try Mystic 15w50 and see what comes of it.

I have a 2 gallons oil capacity. I added 4 pints (2 qts) STP to it. Oil pressure came up to 10 at idle, from 2 psi.

Oh well... I bought the gaskets figuring that, but hoped.

I have an old school and a new style cruise add on in the boxes. I've just never put them in as I'd like my truck to work right before I do it... Oh well, poor me:-$

I'm leaning towards a worn head unit and a bad solenoid. My luck is like that. They say the pumps are tested, but they use a thinner fuel to simulate a hot start. I see their point, but it must not be fool proof. A new head unit is over $700 alone.

It'll all be good if I get a refund... Can not blame them for not giving me second pump based on good faith that I will return the first one.
