What were your boost and egts doing at the time that things went south?

 

They were normal....It didnt happen all at once, it slowy started getting worse. The egt might have been a bit lower as the truck was running really bad....

Rick

 

Welp the good new is, the injectors are all in. The Cause of the over fueling was the tip, the very tip was broken off on #3. The Bad News.....The head has to come off. I've still got a misfire and I have pressure at the oil fill cap. So I guess I'll tow her down to my shop in College Park ina few days and start yanking the head.

Any Suggestions while I have the head off for handling more power etc?

Thanks guys!
Rick

 

That sucks, but while it is off ring it and put in head studs.

 

what all is involved with ringing it and head studs?

Rick

 

ask TJ, he knows a place that does ringing, get the head planed too. as for the studs you just buy them and put them in the place of the old ones, they are a stronger material that can handle alot more tension to hold the head down.

 

Hey eric what was that guy selling that was cheap when we went to ask about your head?

 

24 valve studs. they were around 300 bucks and the ones for the 12 valves were 560ish. not sure on the quality or material, i would just get them off purediesel so you know exactly what it is.

 

no need to ring and stud it, unnecessary money spent because from the sounds of it Rick uses the truck as a tow rig and DD. he is not going for all out performance, if he was he would have gotten 150hp sticks, not 60hp sticks

 

bob they were ARP head studs that i can get them for about $280 plus shipping
