I hope you meant mallet. Just smack them till the tone changes with a rubber mallet.

Put clean oil on the O-Rings!! Will help keep them from binding and will let the injector go in easier, And keep the O-Rings from nicking as quick!! NO HAMMERS!! Push them in by hand it might take a hard push but they will go in!!

mallet ya, didnt think to use that word, not a reg hammer

 

[89 Stroker]

been hard pushing and no budge

 

[89 Stroker]

nvm i got it

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

ounce you do one the rest are butter.. The bolts that face the valley of the engine need to be put in first and turned in all the way. Then the bolts facing away from the valley are put in last. torque the bolts to 10 FTLBs or 120 Inch LBs...

They break easy!!

got them in and got all the rockers on, gonna put the oil pan on here soon

 

[89 Stroker]

well got everything together now the truck wont start, turning over fine but something is not getting power, my father thinks its that fuel thing i found in the oil pan but there fuel in the pump and everything, any info?

Yes sounds like you need to fill the HPOP tank. This is needed to be done a couple of times till it starts. No oil in the tank the means the injectors will not fire.

how can this be done?

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Do you know where the HPOP is??? Right in front if it as you face the engine from the front as a aluminum tank about 2"Deep 6"Wide and 6"Tall on the right hand side of the tank as your facing the engine is a plug that take a allen wrench to pull it out. take that out and fill it with oil. Crank some more and fill it again keep doing this till it starts. my take 3 to 5 times..

Here is picture of the tank. the tank is the thing above the shiny black spacer that has dieselsites name on it. Right behind the Bigger black coolant hose on top of the tank is where the plug is.

what if there is oil already in it ?

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

Keep cranking!!! Might also want to make sure all the electrical lines are hooked back up. there is a line that goes under the fuel bowl that if it is not connected the pickup will not start. Another thing you can do is check fuel pressure. There is a valve stem on the side of the fuel regulator that you can check PSI when running or cranking Take a tire pressure gauge and have somebody hold it on there when you crank it and see if you have fuel pressure.

 

[89 Stroker]

ya that line is connected iv checked all the lines,

 

[Powerstroke Cowboy]

is the HPOP tank full??

 

[89 Stroker]

yes and it stays full, does the lifter tat i found in the oil pan have something to do with it? also when i took the valve cap off the stem some air came out along with some fuel squirting out,

 

[backwoodsboy]

How long have you cranked for?
