As you all know i have been contemplating on putting a lly in my truck and just getting rid of the lb7 injector issues but now after what i saw on my truck i dont believe it is a injector issue, it maybe something else. balance rates are
My fuel rate was 8mm3 as well when warmed up. Just through that out their because of Ferms post that i read.
1) .6
2) .6
3) -1.5
4) -1.0
5) 0
6) 1.4
7) .5
8) 0
My symptoms are blue smoke on cold start, farts and pop off from one cylinder which i am sure is due to the plug i have in the driver side head on cylinder number 8 which is dropping a little bit of compression. Then when it warms up its goes away AT idle. When i rev the engine up to say around 2200rpms or higher is starts hazing blue and if i go higher in rpm it will get a little thicker as rpms increase. Now this just clicked in my good old noggin that as rpms rise, the oil pressure rises. So now i am starting to think it is not my injectors, i have other problems. I dont drive my truck that much and it was really making me angry that the injectors i just installed are starting to go south but i honestly dont think that is my case anymore. (last year i put 4000 miles on it) oil drops a little but not that much. Maybe a quart every year lol that i even notice. I did just put a 64mm ihi on in august and the problem started happening about a month after i installed it? Never really had a turbo go bad before especially with in 4000 miles?
Pulled the cap oil fill cap of cold and at running temp...no blow by and seems fine.
Trying not to jump the gun on changing out the engine now. Wondering where you guys think i should start?
