Message: [QUOTE="MeTo, post: 1511429, member: 23681"] All journals are 10 under and pistons are 10 over. I checked the top compression ring end gap on number 1 and its at 39 thousandths. I'm wounding if standard rings were accidentally installed? A little history: When I purchased the truck, it had been sitting for a couple of years. The owner had retired and sold his little business. He had hired his son-in-law to drive it. When I checked it out, it had a slight miss on number1 and a oiled gauze filter. Upon closer inspection, the filter had about a 1/4" hole worn through the bottom side. I checked the intake and turbo fins and could see it got dusted. No surprise there. This truck lived on gravel roads in NC New Mexico. We talked about a price and had a few beers. In the end, I got a rust free 97 F350 4x4 diesel for $1000 and a hand shack I would haul something if he needed it? I haven't heard from him in 3 years. The miss was the number 1 injector, I replaced them with New Alliant ACs. I shored up the rest of the drive train and now I see I will be investing a little more than I had anticipated into the engine. I have no regrets. I'm just chugging away at make it as reliable as reasonably possible. Oh, and school is in session! [/QUOTE]
