well looks like i was right. bent rod
cyl 1 compression was 510
cyl2 was 510
cyl 3 was 300
cyl4 was 500
all the glow plugs were sooted up except 3… no soot, nothing… fuel wasn’t being burnt.
now i just gotta pull the head and see if the cyl walls are fucked on 3 or not
danger to manifold
Extremely bad idea Wayne. Are these things common rail?
no, rotarty pump like the isb’s
A cummins ISB is common rail dude. Gets up to 24,000 psi on the rail.
oops, i meant to say the older ones, 24v’s… 98-02 ones are rotary pump… anyways i got a pm to send to ya
Lol. I just wanted to make sure nobody is going to hurt themselves playing around with common rail. If you don’t let the pressure in the fuel system come down and crack a line it can blow a hole through your hand. Literally.
Damn thats a nut shot buddy
they aren’t common rail bro!! i know better than that!!
ehhh. mine is fine. you should take it for a rip sometime. will make you hate driving yours.
i’ll be back ready to rock this next weekend out.

today i ordered a south bend stg3 endurance disk
and a boost valve to help protect the turbo from the notorious spiking/sticky VNT vanes ( even though mine are cleaned up)
