    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I did check all my fuel lines. I got a big chunk of green paint out of the line coming from the water separator filter to the injector pump. I also loosened all my injector lines, one at a time. Number 6 injector isn't working well. The rest are marginal, I have a new injector in number 1...

    The filters are a NAPA brand. When I first installed the kit, I used WIX filters.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    It started soon as I put the spin-on filters on. I immediately lost about half of the engines power.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    The power loss was instant when it first happened, it went from 200 hp to 100 hp as soon as I installed the screw on fuel and oil filters. It was like flipping a switch. I did have a couple times when all of the sudden it had its original power back. Then it would go away. The original fuel...

    It has a new air filter, new fuel filters also. The FDC has been bypassed from the rebuild faculty. Where can I find the camshaft specifications? I'd like to check and see if it is warn.

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I did have the valves done. I did not check the cam lift, I did adjust the lifters when when I got back from NY trip. They were only out a few thousand. The engine power changed dramatically when I installed the spin-on filters. The original filters were collapsed and full of rust and junk. So...

    I installed the radiator and grill today, filled it full of coolant. I ran it for a few minutes to check for leaks, and I found none. So I went in a test drive, close to home in case something happened. It ran great, much better than before I rebuilt it. I took it on a local toll road, this...

    Piston Rings Worn Out, Time for a Rebuild

    I'm going to be firing my engine up in the next couple days. I have noticed a brake fluid on the rear tire, so looking like a brake job before I break in the engine. Always something. Lol
