A few hints if you're replacing your intake manifold or turbo water feed line.

My ecodiesel has been an awesome truck for 221k miles, but after the last major road trip, it really started to show its age. I decided to put it up on blocks and address numerous issues including the DPF. It recently forced me to drive while it completed a regen, but the very next day I got the "DPF 100% full, see dealer" message. It lit the CEL and is stuck in limp mode. I dropped the DPF and...

can anyone tell me what is causing this noise on my suzuki df250 trim unit? it was recently drained and bled with aw46 hydraulic fluid. used it in the past with 0 issues. one of my caps came loose and leaked so I decided to replace the fluid. I found small traces of rust inside and cleaned all 3 cylinders. now I get this noise and don't know how to get rid of it. bled it with the boat level.

Couldn't find a video that explains how to drain these trim units while still installed, so here it is.

How to properly adjust your seadoo 4tec cam for best performance. I had rebuilt my head and had lower power than prior to the rebuild. Turned out I misaligned my cam sprocket. You want to align it to where you get maximum compression.

My FCA ram 1500 with the Italian VM Motori engine died without warning during normal driving. This is the common Reluctor Wheel/ Toner wheel problem. While it's the most fuel efficient truck on the market (today), here is what every Ecodiesel owner has to look forward to.

Having fun in my home town, Zip Line and Bungee Jumping with my awesome wife. Life is good :)

Used a home made manometer to figure out when my seadoo 4tec crankcase starts building up pressure. I was getting huge pressure under my valve cover to the point where it was forcing oil between the gasket. I made this manometer because I didn't have a sensitive enough gauge to see when the pressure begins building. I plugged the manometer to the dip stick tube. I was getting massive blow by at...

In this video, we have my 1997 4tec converted Seadoo Challenger. It used to have a 787 carburated 2-stroke, now a 185hp superchaged 4-stroke. Here we're testing the top speed on a calm day on Jordan Lake. Still experiencing a large degree of cavitation from a worn out carbon seal, but it's still a blast, especially compared to what it used to be with the single 787. Check out the build 4tec Cha...

Testing a leaky oil cooler on a 4tec seadoo Rotax engine.

Update Disclaimer 10/21/17: I just bought another mini that had catastrophic engine failure due to a failed Vacuum Pump. I no longer endorse the above video and quite frankly, don't know how to delete it. The findings in the video are still accurate, HOWEVER, if you're seeing oil dripping off the bottom of the pump, or the noise is especially pronounced, I'd replace the pump. I just purchased a...
