  1. .010" off the head, which is not bad for not knowing the history. New Cummins .010" on its way. Pedestals are machined for the studs. Gonna be a busy weekend.
  2. @kzimmer I know you have compounds but why the change to this? Just looking for better resolution on controlling of the gate?
  3. What size oil line? Stock?
  4. No, anything past 14.5* is a calculated timing value anyways. We need to know the pump code to get pointed in a direction. Or cpl.
  5. Stock drain works great. Will need an open t3 gasket. Or get crafty with a chisel and make your divided an open gasket.
  6. That stock clutch is gonna be angry with anything that spools fast. Injector or not.
  7. I also do not see the point in limiting the setup to a "75hp" injector. Is a silly arbitrary number to set as a ceiling.
  8. I need more there but for the 98 percentile, yes absolutely works great.
  9. Realistically the vp will continue to produce power as long as it has positive inlet pressure. The internal vane pumps kicks arse. Now that being said I would not want inlet pressure that low as everything else will suffer that relies on the fuel for cooling.
  10. A 68 turbine and such a small injector is a terrible idea for an auto truck.
  11. Personally I would not run less than 24*. If it was mine I would be at 26* or 28*.
  12. Upgraded intercoolers are a huge waste on 2nd gens. The stock cooler is one thing the Diamler-Benz group got right on these trucks.
  13. Sounds like @trreed on ebay again.
  14. I did not make it there this past weekend. I am headed there this coming weekend to finish my head gasket job.
  15. Sand it. Sounds like the bushing is too tight.
  16. The open vent breathers tend to puke oil all over even if the truck has little to no blow by.
  17. Don't be upset you are no longer a 2nd gen owner.
  18. IF I remember this weekend I'll check mine and get info for it.
  19. @Me78569 is just a hater.
  20. Oh I had the perfect meme for that response. But my phone deleted it yesterday.....
  21. Those were supposed to go on the fuel lines.....
  22. There is nothing you can do internally that will increase reliability.
