Wild fire season is beating us up this year but Thank God we are all still safe as of now. Sorry again for the no updates I’m still here... The blue dot is our wanna be homestead in the making and dark red is current fire spread! 😬 Evacuated my 99 year old Grandfather and 70 y.o parents three...

Sufficient ? Price is not terrible HF special

Best I’ve got is a cheap eBay and a midgrade hornady digital caliper. Pm sent regarding the used set thank you for the offer

Roars to life was exactly what I was hoping for after the fuel system self refurbishment even once, let alone every time… but as you all know no joy When it cools down and time permits I’ll pull the oil pan and also pull the head shortly afterwards to get you all some more insight. Patience...

Thank you everyone for the encouragement!!! I still think I’m gonna get it too just gotta wait for time and funds plus it’s just too hot for long mechanic work.. As far as measuring, this is going to do the trick correct? If so I am Hoping to score a deal on it from the jungle store on prime...

No still no joy No extra time or extra funds currently so this is on hold. I did exchange the extra compression test kit I bought for a leak down test kit from HF this weekend is the best update I have. Sorry everyone for my delays and lack of updates! To be honest I got a little depressed...

Not looking for a whole kit necessarily, I’m hoping to get by with just new rings or pistons and rings (if lands are broken as explained to me) plus a head gasket and oil pan gaskets. Will only order whats needed when it’s needed. How do I cross reference as mentioned… and how do I confirm if...

Had to take a few frustrated days break to weed whack every spare minute here around property since fire season is upon us. I’ve tried to do everything mentioned here Check on bleed lines up to injectors one at a time and on starter it’s been cranked long and heavy I’m assuming at this point...

I wish I could say ITS RUNNING BUT ITS NOT. No joy GPs wired and everything torqued to spec

HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY ESPECIALLY TO THOSE WHO SERVED!!! Pop test made such a diesel fog it was comical definitely all 3 working LOTS better

Rebuilt injectors Probably should have just sent em to “THE PUMP GUY” here for a pro job but my local guy did a fair job it appears Pop test repeat w/ rebuilt inj will be available soon

Can’t pull start a hydro trans correct??

Delays with the injectors being rebuilt and delays with me getting to the valve adjustments. Been SUPER BUSY Anything else besides check the distilled water in battery? Should I order a head gasket, head’s gotta come off for sure after injectors attempt right ?

Injectors should be back in hand rebuilt by Tuesday or Wednesday. Anything I can do in the mean time?? Besides soaking rings as mentioned
