Oh no😢😢 I'm very limited to diesel engines so I don't think i can offer a lot of advice. I wonder if anyone has ever messed with the timing on the injector pump?
@Jason1Pa could be timing. Here's where I'm at. 1) going to replace lift pump. 99% sure it's NOT that, but... cheap insurance that the injection pump is being provided good fuel pressure. 2) im going to pulll the head. I want to look at cylinder walls, valves, and head gasket. Again.. I'll get lots of info and answers for a fairly cheap price. 3) At that point, the injection pump will need to come off, and I can verify if it's timed properly. If it is.... then I need to get it rebuilt or replaced. Not cheap either way... but worth the investment! Stay tuned!
@RustyWrenchRestorations Sounds like a good plan! I was even thinking a valve issue as well, but I was just trying to think of something more simple first. Any idea who you'll send the pump to? There are a few very reputable shops out there from what i heard
I'm going to see if I get a warm and fuzzy from someone local... if not... yeah it will get sent out to a place that knows that specific pump. Looks to be about $700 to rebuild... or $1200 for a new one.
