Be a good idea while its out and halfway tore down. Cam does not need to come out to get the branch tubes off. Just the rear cover.

Alright guys have a couple of questions. I'm in the middle of pulling the motor.

1. What is the easiest way to get the fan off without the fan tools? I stuck a 6" 3/8 extension in the holes on the pulley and only thing big enough was a pipe wrench, it would hold for a little bit but the give way. Does it come off clockwise or counter clockwise?

2. How do you get the glow plug plug off?

Use a blunt air chisel tool to turn the fan nut. Ccw

Fan threads are reverse. So left is tight, right is loose.

Well I picked up a used long block with 91k miles for $1000. So pretty good deal. I'm going to get the heads decked, arps, egr delete, and all the updates.

On an engine with 91k I'm not sure I'd mess with them. I guess I would if you're planning on running it for a long while.

Yup stand pipe melted.

Going to look at a used motor this evening.

Good gawd how hot would a motor have to get to do that?????? I can't believe that it didn't smell warm and maybe even make some strange noises long before it got to be in the condition these pictures show,..... Sorry just thinking out loud I guess.

Oil temp over 300 degrees is usually what it takes to melt the plastic like that

bretferd · May 23, 2014

Yup probably over 300 degrees. My dads workers didn't keep water in it like they were told and it got way to hot. Should have the used motor back in the truck this weekend. Want to thank Rykan at holders diesel for all the parts and fast shipping. I sent him the injectors out of this truck and made then into 205/85s that I'm going to put in my truck and put my injectors in this truck.

Alright guys I got the motor in and trying to start it. Should the oil pressure gauge come up after a few seconds even after the motor has been torn down? If it's suppose to move then looks like I have to pull the lpop to see if there is any damage. FML

It might not come up until the engine starts. Pull the oil filter and see if it fills up the canister while cranking

Stroked777 · May 30, 2014

When we did injector jobs or anything in the hpop side of things the truck would fire up a second or two after the oil pressure gauge on the dash moved. If you did take anything off the hight pressure oils side of things it's gunna take some cranking to get any air out of the system

bretferd · May 30, 2014

Thanks guys I'm going to keep trying to crank her and see if she fires off.

It takes a bit, so I'm sure your fine.

bretferd · May 30, 2014

Well looks like motor has to come back out.

Should have known not to buy stuff of Craigslist. That and I should have checked on the engine a little more before putting it in.

Sootie I should have taken you up on your deal would have been a million times easier and probably cheaper.

what can i say...its still avail...

bretferd · Jun 29, 2014

Well guys I put in new lifters and new lpop and its still not getting any oil to the filter. I pulled the regulator and the spring looks good. Pulled the engine back out and pulled the oil pan back off and the pickup tube was still on and tight. I don't know what to do now? Anyone have any suggestions?

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Jun 29, 2014

Did you check the front cover and make sure there isn't gouges in it behind the lpop or on the lpop cover?

Was your front cover damaged/gaulded when that lpop checked out?!?!
