still trying to pinpoint my high speed popping. the pump swap made 100% better but not cured. when I swap the injectors this week I'd like to test the holes while were in there. to rule out a bad hole/


12v compression tester for rent anyone?

 

I've got Paul's here Luke i'm sure he wouldn't mind lending it to you.

 

I would appreciate that, when i swap the injectors this week I'd like to test all the holes as I do it. to rule them out. thanks Luke 403-333-8775 my cell. I can come get it now if you don't mind and we'll tell paul I own him one.

 

Do ya think your timing is off ??

 

not a chance.

between myself and Tate we checked and moved the timing 1/2 dozen times on the original injection pump. no change in running condition. we swapped the IP out on Wed this past week for his II reman'd dragon fly pump. now its 100x better............but not cured. next is injectors and comp test. then I'll be down to measuring the camshaft or pulling the head. but I'm hoping the injectors take care of it.

 

That popping sound is odd. I wonder how good is one of your cylinder valves or your pushrods are moving the valves. Thats the kinda of stuff can make you go crazy when your trying so hard to get the truck rolling again. I feel for ya buddy.

 

If you get in a bind for one I have one as well Luke.

 

Thats sort of where I was going with a cam issue.. Should have been more clear..

 

I dropped of the tester this morning so he's good to go!

 

Thanks fellas, I'll comp test the holes when I swap Inj. if it doesn't clear up. I'll reset the valves and measure the cam lobes.

I hope it doesn't have to go any farther than swapping inj.

 

I would think that a cam issue would show itself at all rpm ranges, not just 2k+. That and the Ip swap helped it a fair amount. That points to a fuel issue to me, not an air issue.

 

I tend to agree.

Got the sticks coming from Marc tommorrow, have the Comp tester in hand. hope to have it dialed out wed night. or at least have some real answers.

 

Fair assessment guys.. Just thinkin out loud, its a weird problem..

 

Luke, keep us posted on how you make out with the motor? I wish my schedule could allow me to comeout and see the truck buddy.

 

thanks mikester. Say on Sun 22nd I'm going to take it to the chinwag with the abdiesel crowd at Tim Horttons on 52nd SE in the foothills industrial. I think 2pm. you guys should wing down with the oil burners. I'm taking the dually done or not. its going for a drive.
