New valves are best but you’d still need to get the seats reground to match the angle of the new valves.

I’d use the green plastigauge and see if you have .002” clearance.

Today I did get the coolant filter and housing mounted to the inner fender.I realize it’s overkill but I’d like to give it a go.I have some brass Y fittings on the way from amazon to make the installation that much easier.I figured a petcock would be useful to expel any air if it gets trapped...

I always just poured some sort of household cleaner into the ports.If nothing runs out the seal is okay.The valves should not leak.You could make a test plate if you wanted and induce air into the port.Either way will work out perfect.

Those are the proper tools to install the seals👍 I find engine assembly lube makes it much easier to install the shaft into the pump once the seals are on it.

Definitely.I will do that also👍

In regard to the head gaskets choosing the proper gasket will depend upon on piston protrusion at TDC.The 5.7 diesel is checked in the same way.For the 6.2 I believe if protrusion is .006” or greater use the thicker head gasket.Someone here will know for sure. I’ve never used the copper spray...

Inspect the valve keepers closely.If they are in good shape reuse them but toss them if they have any wear.I would keep everything together as it was taken apart.It doesn’t matter which way the springs go.

I like those cast rockers.I have those on my current 6.2 and I also have another set I would like to install on the 1987 rebuild I plan to start on very soon.

Very nice job on the cleanup.I don’t see any visible cracks between the valves either👍

I poured some left over royal purple 2 cycle oil I had into the pump I got back from Dennis Erickson.Do you guys think that would be okay?I removed the top governor cover fitting and filled up the pump that way and also poured some royal purple down through the inlet while rotating the...

Other problems can arise also if the pump driveshaft is installed 180 degrees incorrectly into the pump itself.Thats another thing you need to watch out for.

That is true.There is no problem dismantling the pumps and reseal them.The problems arise when transfer pump settings are altered and if roller to roller settings aren’t adjusted right.If doing a basic reseal with new transfer blades and liner no problems will arise.

You can see the small E tag on one of the top governor cover screws.When a new EID is purchased a new E tag comes with it so it can be mounted under one of the governor cover screws.

You can get the kits on Amazon or eBay.I find spaco or star brands are just as good as OEM stanadyne.I’ll post a link for you.I could go through it if you wanted me to.I wouldn’t want anything to do it.I would dismantle it and put all parts in the ultrasonic cleaner.

Looks like the pump has the updated EID assembly.👍The pump should be good unless it has leaky seals or corrosion inside.

This morning I rerouted the wiring and solenoid for the extended glow time if needed.I think it looks a lot better now than it did before.

Today on eBay I found a nos 3271 pencil pump.Total cost was $640 delivered with freight and import charge included which I thought was a fantastic bargain.The seller wanted over $1200 in the beginning but reduced the cost a day or so ago when I had another look.The factory wire is still in place...
