Beans71086's wasn't suppose to be a build thread

[one2nine]

glad to hear she's coming back together. After the holiday I'm going to be ordering the rest of the stuff for my single. Still need an sct for eric to tune on, my turbo, valve spring tool, and injector lines then the motor part of the build is good to go. Hopefully winter isn't too bad and I can get my build rolling. Once my 71mm is off I'll be sure to let ya know.

You doing your valve springs heads on or heads off? If you do them heads off, I can probably hook you up with a tool.

If its the tool that's like a C clamp, those are the ****!! We started using an expensive spring compressor from blue point, after it broke, we used the $16 C clamp one that worked 10x better!

Pretty sure he's doing doing studs and gaskets also, so they'll be off.

It's the big clamp style, but its pneumatic.

Yup! I signed for the injectors today! Thanks for helping us out Dustin!

 

[weekendwarriorfsw32]

Looking forward to seeing how it runs!

 

[dirtflinger92]

So what is going to be the next thing to go wrong ...?

 

[powerstrokedub]

How hard were you running this truck? This thread scares me. haha

I'm hoping we can fulfill this wish :evil

the red 6.4s like pistons. LOL :redspotdance: y'all hurry, I may have mine done before your can comes back down :swordfight: LOL JK


Sent looking at my blown up 6.4

I may have to take you up on that. I'll be doing them heads on. From talking to a few of the guys who did head on valve springs the swamps diesel 6.4 tool works the best but I may borrow yours as a back up. Appreciate the offer.

I'll let ya know for sure when it comes off. Parts wise all I need is to order my turbo, get injector lines, spring compressor tool from swamps, an sct for eric to tune on.... and winter to be over. Once I can safely have my truck down and not worry about the snow I'll be build ready for the motor.

Lol you might! I forgot the check valve for the return in Maryland. :doh: So we got the motor completely assembled (minus up pipes and dp), lp fuel system mounted and plumbed (minus a few fittings for the return), fuel tank reinstalled, and bed rails for gooseneck plate installed (much easier without the tank in).

New Years resolution!

Ill have to take some, it's all coming together!!



My question to everyone is what's the best way to bleed the fuel system.

 

[Dzchey21]

If you can get to the driver side fuel rail fitting leave it loose. When you first start cranking have someone crank until fuel comes.out.or just leave the key on and let the pump run. With a single pump they are always hard to start the first time. If you have away to run your pump while the cab is.off even better

Are you talking the lp pump or crank the engine to spin the hpfp?
I can leave my run my lpfp before the cab is down.

 

[pennsylvaniaboy]

I am coming from the IDI world, do they have a schrader valve?

Either way, cranking is less safe but sometimes the low pressure pump won't bleed enough to get fuel out of there so you don't have a choice.
The schreder valve on the fuel cooler works but it doesn't really bleed the high pressure side.
