So this is looking more normal. I read 418 psi on 1, 2 and 3 and 405 pn #4 A lot more cranks to get there but maxes out and holds.

This would make sense. First cylinder I did was #4 (video is backwards to how I actually tested) and did forget to kill the fuel. Fuel was off for the rest but all back to back so fuel in the cylinders. I will maybe try again to compare.

Engine is warm, just got back from the hills, and all glow plugs are removed.

So I rebuilt my engine (3B, turbo) years ago and have now almost 2000 kms on it, LOL. Did a pressure test this weekend to see where shes at and measure 600-640 PSI on all cylinders. Pressure holds, does not leak down. Pressure continues to climb while cranking. Think that if I kept...

looking for this too.... looks like this is the one. #99369 - 95mm nominal Wear sleeves, SKF Speedi-Sleeve - 99369

Ouch! That looks like a 'make work' project! Got a little more time put in today. Hopefully lots more :wrench: this weekend Typical condition of the lifters. Nice and smooth and mic on size although pics amplify the imperfections. Almost looks as if the faces have been resurfaced at...

Little more work than I originally planned! HA! But Im not one to run away from a challenge! Be that a good thing or bad... im not too sure yet. :cheers: Camshaft Bearings newly honed and near new specs Camshaft, little worn but still within spec and ready for some new action. And...

Slow and steady. So nice with everything on size, clean, straight and true! Rings installed and prelubed In the hole we go. Bagged her up so all stays nice and clean. Will continue this week as time permits.......

Some more progress.... Some might call it 'ford' blue. I kinda like it. Oil cooler installed. I ended up keeping my old downward pointing oil filter as I am sure it will interfere with the turbo/exhaust setup. For piece of mind, I plasti-gauged the new crankshaft bearings. On the...

Cheers! Glad you are enjoying! Well, FINALLY got my 3b back from the machine shop. I can finally begin this rebuild in time for FALL :frown:. I guess better late than never. And better than ever! Near new again :grinpimp: This evening, not too much progress. Little bit of prepping...

Thanks for the input guys, kind of what I was thinking too. Although I thought I have read that MLS gaskets can be reused?? I see two HG listed, looks like two different thicknesses??? PN 11115. Anyone know which I should pick? Why the different thickness? Cylinder head. Fits: 1986...

Well the 86 block is at the machine shop for liner replacement and bore to suit new pistons. Hope to see within a week or two.... No rush = better price and usually better quality in my experience. So clean and wire wheel and paint this time all the accessories. And now a serious...

I thought they all had some at least...... Thus the large vent coming from the lifter cover plate.

Anyone able to comment on differences in IP pumps? If any?

I had Dan ship to my work so that princess wont know! At 485k (original?) it is likely getting to that point. Check compression dry then wet. If little difference you can try a valve grind but my guess is you will be best to just do the full rebuild, rather than doing it almost twice, like...
