Sorry about not getting updates as quick as we all would like. I understand.
I was not able to use the dyno, so I just took the truck out on the highway today to break it in. Right off the bat I heard a loud ticking when I pulled out of the driveway. It sounded more like a compression leak than something mechanical. I pulled over and realized it was a loose injector. I tightened it up and hoped back in the truck. I took It ran fine, EGTs never got past 1000 really, which is a good sign of all the cylinders pulling their weight. I put 76 miles on the truck just today. I got back home and pulled in the driveway. I quickly checked for blowby while it idled (i didn't want to let it idle long). I still have blowby but its coming out more steady like it might be from all the cylinders instead of one, not sure. So I'm up in the air about it now. I guess the only thing I can do now if I want is to do a leak down test and see how they all compare.
