cps is two weeks old I will put the old one in and make sure the new one didn't go bad read on a thread that the gray ones are not as good as the black ones. (the old one)

i would try that if i hadn't of blew a head gasket (well thats what i'm thinkin it is) i'm gonna save my pennys and just rebuild the motor, put forged rods, some 238/100 hybrids and a precision billet turbo and call it good

I REALLY doubt you blew a head gasket... Whats the symptoms?

Lange503 10-27-2010 12:23 PM

started to over heat so i pulled off and shut it off, popped the hood, and watched my truck guzzle almost the ENTIRE res. of anti-freeze

CSIPSD 10-27-2010 09:57 PM

I would suspect a cracked injector cup over a blown head gasket...

Lange503 10-29-2010 01:51 PM

ok, i'll let you know when i know, either way i'm going to pull the motor and do a rebuild on it, mostly for the forged rods but i'm sure it could use some refreshing

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

how would i go about getting the injector cup out? isn't there some B.S. specialty tool for it?

CSIPSD 11-01-2010 10:03 PM

There is a Rotunda tool that you need. There are several other kits on the market that do the same thing, goggle it, you should find a few. The Rotunda is the one I have used.

Lange503 11-02-2010 09:50 AM

i've found the cups themselves but no tool yet, but i'll keep lookin, thanks :c:

Riffraff Diesel: Motorcraft Injector Cup


There ya go...

Lange503 11-03-2010 12:31 PM

thanks :c:

think the stage one 160cc injectors from Full Force will be about right for a PMR motor?
i'm gonna wait to rebuild the motor till after the snow is gone
