Help!-Detroit shop in New Orleans?
Pissing injectors show up with eye watering exhaust and performance
issues. A leaky injector at rest that pisses on the piston can bend the piston rod or lock the engine from turning over. With a tank full, sometimes a leak in the return lines under the valve covers will leak even with the engine shut down. You may be able to remove the return line to the tank and pressurize it with 5 psi and see if it maintaines pressure. Finding the leak is better than a once over wrenching of all the old steel lines. I dress the metal mating surfaces in 90 wt oil before reinstalling. some times the lines are installed too twisted and the line is always trying to untwist the nut. if it cracked, the line metal became too brittle for the 22year old installed twist. I am not sure how the 8v is setup under the valve cover????? Water in the oil would have showed up milkey white and one gallon of water will froth up to 4 gallons. In a Duramax with the same issue, I dumped two gallons of oil out of the crank case every day and added fresh oil without changing the filter. I put the old oil in the fuel tank and ran it until Chevy had time to find the failure. (the truck had a seeder mounted and shop sitting was not an option) GregoryO'Connor 94ptRomolandCa --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Scott Forman" <sforman@...> wrote: > > I made it home.
