"I have all 3 gaskets on order for each cylinder and will hold off until they arrive I want to make sure I have no leaks that could cause low compression."
Where did you order all 3 gaskets? how much did that run?
Ok so when i pulled all of my injectors the copper ring stayed in the injector hole. Should i try and remove them or just leave them and re use them how they are? If i need to remove them how do i get them out?
Ok so i hope i did not make a mistake. I took of the injector’s wow that was not easy. I hope i can get the injectors back in without leaks every place i did something. My fear is i went from a running unit to what could be a none running unit when i am done.
So i have the injectors out but how...
This is what i will do that is a great point. I will order the kit to fix my injector pump leak and while its down for that send my injectors off to be re calibrated and or fixed. Storeman you will be getting my injectors in a week or so. Thanks everyone.
So at this point i need to rule out injectors vs compression issues. From my understanding the injector issues can be seen with the engine cutting out cylinders (sputtering) and how warm the cylinders are using a temp test. The compression issue it seem the only way is to test compression and...
I took them out and they glow perfect after 15-20 sec. So I would think they are ok. What concerns me is what happend to the washers? If I dont have washers how much would that effect my compression?
Would you be able to make a few more of those copper rings and send some out? The funny thing i found when looking into my glow plugs not working is that i never did see a copper washer or any washer on any of the 4 glow plugs. Unless they stated inside the unit when i pulled them out.
I tested all my glow plugs. I got a reading of 6-8 ohms on all of them. Now what i also did was take them out and put 24v to them to see if they still glowed. I was wondering how my unit ever got started if they were all bad. Each one took 15-20 sec and glowed all the way. Does this mean they...
I found a web page that indicated that the electric oven is about 3,000 watts, elements 3,000 (1500 each) Cloths dryer 4,400 watts. This is what i pulled of the net i dont know how true it is but if they are close i guess it is running with everything else in my house around 11-12k.
But i am...
I have run an electric oven with 2 electric burners on at the same time as the electric dryer and the other normal things running in a house hold like lights and refrigerator... I dont know if thats good or not but if i kick on a another 2 electric burners it tries to kill the generator.
What...
