231/236 cam from tsp and the supporting springs and cam gears etc etc etc… hopefully do 470ish rwhp by xmas
with how shitty fuel quality is around here you definitely need to run some kind of cetane additive, i’ve been running motorcraft cetane boost and i believe stanadyne most likely makes it for motorcraft only in a less concentrated formula. it smells the same thats for sure.
any time you have an egr cooled engine you’re putting a lot of exhaust into the intake. the less carbon the exhaust the less chance you have for sticking turbo vanes or egr valves. cetane increases burn temp for more complete combustion. we all know heat is everything for diesel engines and cetane boost has always been highly recommended among ford technicians
also ulsd is very dry as far as diesel fuel goes. any kind of additive should have better lubricating properities
Cool, I’ve been thinking of getting a case of the same stuff. BTW, my buddy sells these http://turbohosefix.com/ for 6.0Ls you might want to look at. I think he’s going to be re-tooling for all stainless soon.
Loading up the POS Galant VR4 (which is still broken, caps blew out in the PCM now… grrrrrrrrr who the fuck let me buy a DSM!!!). And yes… my friends thought it was necessary to make various hand gestures when I took the pics:
/\ and that’s why you do both sides when you can… the other is usually soon to follow and you end up doing two alignments- except it sounds like this is the one that followed
had to put a ficm in my truck yesterday. nearly $500 my cost. i suspected this thing was on its way out and i found out for sure that’s what the problem was
truck had no power cold and had a slightly rough cold start. definitely sucks but atleast now the thing runs a lot better. eventually it would have left me stranded some where
