    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    Oil passages are still open, both supply and drain. The duct tape on the top was to keep filings from getting in the passages. Closed up the solenoid hole as well. This was on my 94, so no Cali versions at that time. Cheers!

    Turbo pedestal oil leak after replacing O rings

    I know if I ever get rid of the EBPV on my Cali 97, I will only get a genuine Garrett non-EBPV pedestal. At any rate I modified my 94's pedestal way back in the day. I had someone weld up the holes and weld in some plates to cover the large opening from removing the actuator cylinder. I was...

    engine/tranny pull?

    If you have a manual trans, there is no sense in leaving the clutch with the trans (torque converter with an auto, yes). The clutch can remain bolted to the flywheel when the engine is removed. You're going to have to line up the clutch disk with the flywheel pilot bearing anyway. Cheers!

    What is this plug?

    As mentioned, the plug is for the DRLs. It either gets a DRL module plugged in (for DRLs) or it has a "shorting plug" inserted (for trucks without DRLs). That one looks like the plug is installed. Cheers!

    FORScan and adapters

    I've done a buzz test and KOEO tests with it and FORScan Lite (iPhone 7) on my 97. I haven't tried a contribution test. Cheers!

    Ticking/Exhaust Leak?

    In a nutshell: When the engine is in the 11 o'clock position, there is a drain path for oil to drain from lifter galleries. If it is not and there is residual oil pressure, when the pushrod is removed the lifter can jack up (effectively get longer ... they are hydraulic lifters vice solid...

    Ticking/Exhaust Leak?

    Remember to put the engine in the 11 o'clock position when removing/reinstalling pushrods, otherwise you can get "lifter jacking" from residual oil pressure. Cheers!

    Ticking/Exhaust Leak?

    Have you checked the exhaust manifold(s)-to-head areas? It is fairly common for the bolts to break. Also there is no gasket from the factory, although they are available. Cheers!

    Fpr bb shim and fuel pressure gauge install question

    They are probably all tapered pipe threads. You can tighten them down pretty hard except for the fitting going into the regulator housing. If you tighten that one too much, you will crack the housing. Use some pipe dope or tape rated for the fuel/oil. Cheers!
