this week im finally pulling the turbo idi out of my old truck,to stick in my new truck.its a solid 94 7.3 idi turbo with 80k on the reman motor,but it never keep great oil presser so i am gonna stick a new oil put in it and all new oilpan,valve cover gasket,but what else should i do before i stick it in my 94 supercab 4x4 non turbo idi.the non turbo has new injectors with about 12k on them,should i just stick them in the turbo,or just buy new.any ideals would be welcome,thanks

 

What was the oil pressure?

 

and dont put a oil pan gasket on it. factory used RTV. any gasket will leak.

 

the oil pressure stayed on the n of normal my other truck stays on r and m,thanks for the adv on the oil pan,that truck has alway leaked oil,around the pan,and valve covers,plus gonna have a good cleaning and new paint.also have a new ip pump on the other motor probably gonna swap it out too.

 

I'm runnin Royal Purple 15/40 .... my pick up get solid 20's on the freeway..... and i only have 4 spd. no O/D....35's .. and a heavy right foor ..... its worth it too ... i run my truck 10k before i change the oil and it will still get 19 when i change it .... good investment...... beleive me they love to be well lubed...

 

the factory "normal" gauge doesnt mean ****.


my truck with the factory gauge would stay around the r all the time. but my mechanical gauge would go from 15 at idle to 40 at WOT when warm.

 

yeah i know,i swapped the guage cluster to check if the guage worked right,it was the same on both,id like to spend a little time and money now to prevent troubles later.

 

where can i get royal purple in california .?

 

I run either Napa 15/40 or valvoline premium blue and its the best I've ever used. I used royal purple in my race car and blew 3 engines and I'm not the only one that had problems with this oil.

 

i been using RP for 15000 miles now. i run it for 10000 intervals. change filter at 5000. motor hasnt been happier. i get it at pepboys
