oil leak from spill spout
 
I have rebuilt stage 1's and while doing a pressure test, and under certain conditions, I get oil from one of the injector spill spouts.

After the truck is up to operating temp, if I romp on it, I will sometimes lose power and get a 1211 code. To simulate this, I first warmed the truck, then disconnected the injectors and did the usual observation of the injectors while cranking engine. If oil is hot, oil will spill from one spout sometimes. Is there anything simple I can do myself or what would you recommend?

It should spill from all of them...

All the injectors were disconnected at the time.

well then oild shouldn't come out of the spout. so you have oil coming out of the spout when they're disconnected and just cranking?

Yes, occasionally (but significantly) under hot oil conditions.

something is bypassing internally. joe should be able to give you more answeres than me.

Is it one injector or all of them?

twinboys 02-05-2012 06:39 PM

Just one.

CSIPSD 02-05-2012 07:44 PM

There is your issue.

twinboys 02-06-2012 01:04 PM

It is actually my third issue (so far). Is there anything I can do myself or will I have to send it in?
