Heading back to work on Tuesday for 2 weeks but will definitely get into this when I arrive home again.Looking forward in wrenching on it.

Thank you guys.I appreciate the heads up on that.I’ll find some lightweight oil and use that instead.

Today I installed a new return fitting in the governor cover.Stanadyne part number 21251.I have to say this engine is now running the very best it ever has been.Absolutely zero issues.Runs smooth as silk.I did not swap injection pumps like I did plan to do but since it’s running beautifully why...

I finally have the 6.2 mounted on the engine stand.I put some deep creep penetrating fluid upon the machined surfaces to prevent corrosion,etc.I’m pretty sure I have the outer stud kit for the mains purchased but will have to go back through my parts stash and see if it’s there…lol.Assembly...

This morning the acdelco universal solenoid switch I purchased arrived.I plan to use this for extra preglow time to heat up the Bosch 80034 glow plugs in case it’s needed.I’ll just use it in conjunction with the factory 6.2 diesel controller that I have in place.I always used acdelco 8G fast...

Sorry to hear Big T.Hoping to test my 2nd set today.I’ll have to pick up some extra fuel today to see how things turn out with this second batch.

Here’s a picture of the tester I purchased.I find all of the vevor products to be beyond exceptional.I will try to test the 2nd set of injectors today.

No problem.Its the vevor brand from Amazon.I’ll post some pictures of it this evening.

lol😂

Thank you.👍

Yes it’s definitely time to get this underway.The 5.7 diesel in my fathers truck is pretty well wrapped up under the hood.Just a few minor things to take care of and it’s 100% in regard to that.

Morning guys.Cant believe it’s been over 2yrs with no update on this.Between work and looking after my 3 children it’s been hectic.The block and crank still sits on a pallet but guess what?Its going on the engine stand today.

The first set of injectors tested perfectly with no streaming.I’m very happy with the end result.Each one popped at about 2100psi. I bought two sets.Only tested one set so far.Will check the remaining set today.

A couple weeks ago I received my injection pump back from Dennis Erickson at D&L diesel injection service in Kansas.It looks great!I heard a lot of great things about his rebuilds.I had him rebuild a 3840 pencil pump for me.My current 3271 pump I had apart a few weeks ago is doing fine.It runs...

To be brutally honest I did not get an opportunity to test them.I will definitely test them tomorrow.I’ll post back with my results.

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...
