Getting ready to do mods ????

[epowers777]

Ok got a question.
First
I pulled the fuel bowl and its completely apart. Is there any way i can just dip the bowl in something and pull it out to be sparkly clean? What is the fuel bowl made of? Aluminum?

Second
I bought the HPOP re seal kit. My HPOP looks new. It has a re manufacture sticker on it and appears that theres no oil leaks. Should I go ahead and pull everything apart and replace the seals??
The 2 wired mesh hydrolic line going to the middle of each head is that the oil line?

Thanks

There is some types of solvent/ carb cleaner that will make that thing shine. I thought I seen somewhere that you can use malt vinegar as a parts cleaner/ rust remover.

Yep, aluminum.

Should I go ahead and pull everything apart and replace the seals??If there are not any visible leaks I would not worry about resealing it. Just keep parts on hand for future repairs/ upgrades.

Thanks

As for your fuel bowl....

[epowers777]

Will that carb cleaner take the rust off? Just got a bunch tools from harbor freight to make my life easier!!!! Taking the turbo off tomorrow hopefully.Going to put the wicked wheel on and heat wrap all the pipes!!

That stuff works AWESOME on aluminum, but I dont think it will pull rust off.

Ive been e mailing rosewood injectors. Every e mail I get back is confusing and they never answer my questions correctly. Is there another place I can look for injectors at a good price.

[epowers777]

Also in search of single shot injectors is there a certain code im looking for or just ask for single shots?

[epowers777]

The Oil in the HPOP res. does that enter the engine or does it recycle itself? It was super gewy when I sucked it out. If its a separate thing I would like to put expensive stuff in it.

Please dont forget my previous questions.

It appears that your engine falls in the forged rod category, but if you suspect it is not original then the only way to know for sure is to look for yourself.

the plate on the front left of the engine compartment above the head light is that suppose to match the engine code?

I dont know if that is how it works.

Oil is constantly recirculating. It goes like this, oil pump, HPO reservoir, HPOP, then what doesnt get dumped back to the pan goes to the injectors, injectors fire then back to the pan again.

If its a separate thing I would like to put expensive stuff in it.

I would use synthetic anyways, truck will love you for it! For me the synthetic (Delvac 1) make my truck run muuuch smoother, starts easier, etc.

Gotcha!
