    LDT-465 oil pump plumbing - question - switch over from 5ton configuration

    I wish I could tell you one way or another, but my LDS came out of a Marine Corps deuce already complete. I didn't have to fight your battle.

    Light work before the rally ( engine & trans swap + overdrive kit)

    Man it cruises nice with the extra power and the overdrive kit! I'm doing an easy cruise in the neighborhood of 60-65 at 2200 rpm. And it sounds so much tougher too! No way I'm putting a muffler on this hoss.

    Ok got the head back in. Mark under the four bolt cover was almost out of sight.

    So basically just line up the gap in the washer to where the hh will go in properly right?

    Ok, problem. Both timing marks lined up but the hh won't go in. The stop washer on the drive gear in the pump is in the way. So how do I properly index the head now?

    Alright, the HH is back together. Now to just put it back in and see what I have. I can't help but wonder if the drive key broken because I put the head in a tooth off, or if it was a tooth off because the drive key broke. I suppose it really doesn't matter as long as the truck runs right now.

    Pulled the head and found the bow tie drive key broken in two. I have another one and I'm trying to put it together now.

    Well I lined up the timing mark on the balancer and the pointer under the four bolt cover on the governor housing, and the hh is indeed a tooth off. I sure hope that solves my problem.

    How would I go about checking to see if my HH was one tooth off if I wanted to? Once you bump the starter the index from removing it is gone. I know it shouldn't be able to go in a tooth off, but I also know that they can anyway.

    Could be clogged injectors. There was quite a bit of rust on the line fittings at the HH when I pulled it this morning. Some of it may have made its way into some injector lines and up to the injectors. I tried to be careful to clean it well but sometimes things like that just can't be helped...

    Same fuel my old engine was running on three days ago. I drained all three filters on the side of the road and got nothing but clean fuel out. Had good fuel pressure, 30 psi idle and up to 80 under acceleration. Then it just started acting stupid. I really feel like something is hung up in the...

    I have a sick feeling that it is the pump.

    Thanks man but I have a couple of sets.

    Just odd how it ran ok, then would bog for a minute, then clear up, then bog, and clear up, then it died and won't run properly anymore. The HH could be a tooth off I guess, but I wouldn't think that would make it act this way.

    I'm going to change injectors tomorrow. If that isn't it I might just take the dodge to the rally.

    Light work before the rally ( engine & trans swap + overdrive kit)

    HH is fine. It ran alright for a few miles, then gave up the ghost. The button was still on it when I pulled it this morning. It was just hard to get it to start the first time, and easy after that. Now ithat won't start without a whiff of brake cleaner and it won't idle without pedal input, and...

    I really don't know. I'm just about too mad to think right now.

    Is it bad when the turbo exhaust housing is glowing? I really hope I didn't melt a piston or something. All the seals were still on the injector pump and I didn't mess with the fuel settings.

    Well it looks like it screwed me anyway. Got it running and it didn't make five miles. Missing and popping and won't move itself in first gear low range. Ran fine at the house. Acts like something hung up in the governor. I haven't been so disappointed in a long time. This is stupid.
