Greetings Onur,

I am also about to replace the glow plugs on my 2B engine. Would you recommend coating Anti-seize around the glow plug's thread prior to installation?

Best regards,

Carlo Borromeo

Injectors and glow plugs receive a bit of anti seize.

my only question so far is how big is the turbo and does it go pssshhhhh pssssshhhhhh when shifting...

Awesome build, i've been using the spare time to get the injection pump on teh 4bt fixed and Andrea's rig up and running again.


How much power do you think you may be putting out after all this?

A little more than stock.

Intercooler?

 

[OGBeno]

Lots of killing time these days....

Organized and cleaned my sockets....

Built a kayak/river running stand in the backyard...

Went through 6-7 years worth of collected stickers and adorned my rolling tool cart and parts closet....

 

[OGBeno]

Intercooler?

Yessir Brian. A-2-W. AXT from Oz. They were the only one with a PnP setup. I really don’t like cobbling stuff together and “trying” things out just for the sake of it. My time is more valuable.

 

[OGBeno]

Also, collected more parts while I was waiting...

New washer reservoir.... available in the US:

 

[OGBeno]

Some bits and pieces for the IP when I time it on install...

O-ring for the IP to timing cover mating interface:

 

[OGBeno]

Collected some more hardware and clamps.

These clamps are specifically for the PS system hoses:

My wife misses my truck too.... she hopped in and made “vroom vroom” sounds...

Up here possession is 9 tenths of the law. You are in trouble young man, you may never get your tractor (truck ) back.

Nice, are you getting the pump modified?

 

[OGBeno]

Nice, are you getting the pump modified?

Negative. I'll mess around with the fuel but that's about it. I like messing around more with the wastegate and trying to create just the right mixture between wastegate and fuel.

Behold! The Australians make good on their word and the man smiles again!

 

[OGBeno]

Good to go! Thanks to my Aussie friends again for the huge assist.



It's firmly in the machinist's hand. Should have block back by about 5/15.

I told him I was in full support of him buying another vehicle so I can have this one.
