Here’s the latest video with the 3271 pump back on the engine after I had it apart and put a EID updated governor cage and spaco seal kit.All the parts were put in the ultrasonic cleaner.

It’s definitely another maintenance item for sure.I figure if I can make things better i’m all for it.I guess it’ll be surprising how much dirt/debris the filter will pick up once it’s cut open after an X amount of miles.

I came across some felpro 8716-PT1 head gaskets on eBay last night for the 5.7 olds.I decided to buy them as these too are hard to locate.I believe felpro has discontinued making these.I also purchased another gear reduction starter from eBay.The gaskets were around $170 total with the ride and...

Thanks for the reply.I appreciate it.I’m hoping sometime today to get the new lift pump on.The current pump functions okay but it’s been on the truck about 15-20yrs I would estimate at this point.3 psi entering the injection pump currently does sound low to me. This Delphi is rated for 12psi...

This might be overkill but I think I’d like to install a wix coolant filter with Baldwin filter adapter upon this engine.I only see coolant filters being used in some agricultural applications such as farm tractors,etc but I’d like to give it a go.I have some npt barb fittings to put upon it.I...

I’m hoping to see 6-7psi entering the injection pump inlet after the Delphi lift pump has been installed.I’ll let you guys know how it turns out.I’ll take a video showing the fuel pump pressure as well.

On the DB2 going from memory I believe anything over 10 psi will blow the pump driveshaft seals.On my truck the fuel has to pass through two filters so it’s slowing down the flow and pressure too.So with this Delphi pump the pressure should be where I want it once it’s up and running. I have a...

I have the Delphi lift pump ready for installation.Hoping tomorrow morning to put it in place.Its rated for 12psi so this pump should do a better job overall vs the current lift pump.

This morning I got the 3271 pump into place.No issues with it.No leaks anywhere.This pump is definitely much much better than the last two pumps I had on this engine recently.It idles nice and smooth.I’m quite happy with it.The last two 3916 pumps I had on this engine the engine would rock from...

Thank you.👍

Absolutely.I drained off the solution into one of those DEF fluid containers.I’ll save it and screen it for the next time since the solution still looks good.

The 3271 pencil injection pump is back together and ready to go back on the truck.I bench tested it with some fuel and cordless drill and it’s spraying fuel pretty nicely like it’s supposed to.Hoping tomorrow to have it installed.The ultrasonic cleaner did a great job of getting all the internal...

I used the vevor brand ultrasonic cleaner for the first time today and I was really impressed how well it cleaned up all the internal parts within the injection pump.The pump needed to be disassembled anyway to get rid of the flex ring and once I did,I found stuck pumping plungers.They are now...

Sorry it’s not in Missouri.He is located in Kansas.

That’s my plan as well.I have a few of these olds pencil pumps.Two have the EID updated cage but haven’t been used in a long time.I want to take them apart and freshen them up a little with a new seal kit after I put all the internal parts in a ultrasonic cleaner.Like you were saying as long as...
