RE: Moving Home
Well that kinda sucked...



Got done rebuilding the engine today. Put the wiring harness on and finished up a few small details. Tomorrow morning I'm going to beef up the cradle it's sitting in, strap it down to the trailer, then take it back to the truck

Hard to tell what was going on with the engine before. I replaced the crank with a used crank that just needed a polish, the cam is new, I rebuilt the cam followers. So with all those new parts I'm not sure how well I can compare the injection timing between old and new. All the old parts 'should' have been the same as what I put back in, in theory

The gaskets on the cam followers that I took off were much thicker than what the rebuild needed. Originally the stack was around .050 and what I ended up at was .024. If all the other parts are equal that means the engine was far too advanced. I also rebuilt the step timing controller and calibrated it. Adjusting it on the bench with air pressure isn't the same as on the truck with oil but I'm pretty sure it was way off too. It was staying in advanced mode for too long

All this is probably just an amusement to you ISX guys. I hope I'm not being a poser by painting the engine red. I hate dark colored engines almost as much as cummins poop beige. The 444xt color was originally called bluk or bluck. Black with a little bit of blue in it. I guess that was to hide the oil leaks
