Yes. I'm going to wrap this up.
I'm not sure WHAT SPECIFICALLY fixed it since I replaced every part of the fuel system!
However, during firing of the parts cannon, I installed the injection pump 180 degrees out.
NOW, it fires up no problem. No cranking, no funny business - just fires off...
Helicoil went OK.
Buttoned up front cover and it fired immediately and idled
Murphy wasn’t asleep tho. My NOS number 1 injector hardline is broken and there is fuel allllll over the front end.
I will try my old hard line and if that doesn’t work, maybe I can have the end repaired. Not...
Yep - red tooth is 180 out when I disconneted and rotated the IP!
Unfortunately, I pulled the threads out of one of the three IP pulley bolts when re-tightening it.
SO - I guess I will be trying to figure out which size helicoil to repair it.
Dammit.
So close!
Rockers. OK!
Crank. OK!
Pump Top Window. OK!
Do not see a red tooth for hydraulic head!
But I do not see a pointer either? :/
Pics attached. I think I need to disconnect and rotate the injection pump another revolution.
Injection Pump Swap:
1. I DID NOT pull the valve cover to check valve train.
2. I'm pretty sure I verified marks on old pump were in same place before I pulled it (91% sure?)
3. I DID align the pointer on the cank to LDT mark (this is what my engine type is on the engine plate)
4. I DID...
There is a hole in my radiator neck under the cap where the coolant can expand and escape.
There is not a tube or reservoir of any kind to collect the coolant so it can return to the radiator as it cools.
Dumb questions - assuming I want an expansion tank:
is there a reason not to have an...
Facts:
1. I am getting lots of flow all the way through all NEW parts all the way to the (NEW) hydraulic head.
Its not a lot of pressure, but the flow will fill a pint bottle in seconds.
2. The hydraulic head is firing. I can remove the line and see a strong squirt at each injector inlet...
Done. No difference.
I also removed, verified clean or replaced with new parts all the way from tank to IP.
Zero base pressure. No pressure while cranking.
Zero base pressure at secondary where I should see 5 PSI. There is 1psi showing at tank.
Zero psi at secondary when cranking.
1. NEW (NOS) pump and hanger
2. Cleaned hardline from tank to primary filter housing today (again)
3. Removed and checked, cleaned primary filter housing today...
