Berman's 7.3 build

dsberman94 · Mar 28, 2014

Mine starts like normal. Or atleast as normal as I've known it to start for the last year. Never noticed a difference hot or cold.

If your still is as bad as your wot #s suggest it does start like shti. You probably can tell the difference.

Maybe a second longer crank when warm. Right around 120 degrees it's almost instant fire up. No drastic difference though.

Would it be safe to assume that the bent pushrod is on the driver side being how loud it is coming out the intake? It's a very loud thump and I can clearly hear it over everything at heavy throttle.

What does the intake have to do with right or left?

Sound coming through the ccv into the intake tube? Just a thought being how loud it is.

Makes sense I was just wandering. Could listen through the oil fill too.

Oooo. Good idea. Might just do that.

Where is the "build". This is just a thread.

And if I happen to find when I take the oil pan off to replace it shortly that I have forged rods it'll happen even sooner and quicker.

Serial # can't tell you that?

not necessarily. could be radiating through.

Not necessarily on that either.. quite a few guys on here have posted that they have forged rods and their serial numbers matched the pmr list.

live life full throttle

takes about a second to pull the inspection plug, 99.99% chance it does though since its a 02

Serial numbers are hit and miss. People have cheek their serial number which said they had PMR and found forged and the opposite. I could pull the block plug too but since I have to replace the pan I'll just wait.

Edit. My phone didn't load the last page. Those guys beat me to it.

Push it till it blows. That's the easiest way.

Then I would need a whole block because mine would have a new hole it in. So I'll pass on that

Yup. For now. Similar to zacs and Phil's.

So. What do I need to get other than just the HPOP to replace my HPOP? Going with a t500 and I'm going to go for the down time route in a few weeks after the second week of May when school is out for the year. So I remember being told to get the riffraff HPOP line special tool thing because it makes it easier, what else will I need? Gaskets, filters, o-rings? Recommended to do an oil change or will that not be an issue? I'm actually getting excited about being able to start working on this thing with this warm weather again.
