ISX cm87x valve spring compressor

[Chamberpains]

Thats the one. I saw it. I was hoping for an aftermarket. Or something a hair cheaper. Im gonna tear in to it next oil change so I have time to keep looking. I had the turbo off twice for other issues and it wasn't very bad. I'd hoped it would clear up with some running. That isn't happening. So valve seals are kind of a $150 shot while I'll have the injectors out to inspect the cylinders. I dont want it to turn in to a $500 shot.

In the mean time I'll get the oil sample back and I also ordered a manometer to check blow-by. Im 30,000 miles in to this mistake and im tired of wondering about the health of the engine. Im too deep in to this truck to back out now and I still think it has potential to be a solid truck. The engine runs smooth and great. Fuel mileage is in the 7's and it runs on single cylinders like a champ. Theres smoke out the fill tube but no worse than my cm870's ever had... 617,000 miles so... idk.

I just keep planting my foot up my back side everytime something else pops up. But at least im learning my equipment inside and out. Just way faster than I'd like. Haha.
