The fender job was earlier in the week. Thank god for Mr. Plasma cutter. Currently I am working on swapping out my HH. (but that story is ongoing in another thread)

this is a pic of how my manifold heater was coupled together. the red lines on top, the thick and the thin...

oh well, my luck i would have got it right in the eye... btw... that opossum pic is disturbing. it keeps looking at me

oh the fuel was horrible that i got it with. It looks like port 4 and 1 are drier than the others also. still ran good on 3 cylinders lol

i forgot to hit upload... duh:cookoo:

me and gimpy

so some things i noticed when disassembling the HH today. The orifice for injector #3 was dry as a bone and had some surface rust in it. The other lines had a puddle of fuel in them. I think there was one other port that was almost dry like this was. also the rod that has to be slid out (near...

is that the part when people bypass it, it now becomes a diesel only motor?

my feed and return lines were coupled directly into each other. it shouldn't be feeding at all unless your on the switch as i think it has its own pump. I am glad you have a spare American HH, but beggars cant be choosers (and right now i'm begging). I need to learn more about this FDC after...

this is a Pain in the *ss

but how do you turn it to line it up?

No worries... This is my first diesel motor. That makes me the idiot (but i am learning fast). Back to the problem, or i should say the HH removal question. I am literately at the 1/2 way point. Everything has been going fine, just slow. I am at the point where the timing mark under the 4...

imitation is the best form of flattery

sounds like good advice. keeping the variables to a minimum.

so since today i learned what FDC stands for and i guess its a common topic, whats the deal with it? should it stay or be bypassed?

i saw that but just wanted to be sure. tomorrows going to be a busy afternoon

does anyone have a pic of that little pin?

i wonder if that little part is jammed somehow?

here is a nice closeup pic... (for no particular reason) but seriously, what are people doing about the gaskets? i see there is one under thie cutoff cover. should i use a permatex type liquid gasket ar are people reinstalling with whats left of the old one.. (i cant believe i just asked that)

Thanks for the pics and blow-by-blow. It will help immensely. I still wonder about that cutoff lever, i wonder what i will see when i cut the saftey wire and go a tad bit more into it. does anyone take the time to redo the saftey wire or do they just use loctite?
