    Cummin's does their compression test by hooking up a gauge that reads inches of water off the blowby tube. It works. we read 24" of water off a 4BT and that thing wouldn't even fire with ether. Modern diesels use the OEM software program to run compression tests based on amperage off the starter. Powerstrokes will have a high note spot when cranking over indicating injector issues or weak compression and the obvious hard start. Duramax's-leaking coolant-Blown head gasket and smoking indicating bad injectors.

    Turbo play will be there when there is no oil pressure it's fine as long at the point that the fins of the compressor start to clash with the housing ... They have some movement even when brand New

    • @SirFloofy001
      @SirFloofy001 Před 6 lety +3

      They are not supposed to have any play at all, if they do then wherever you are getting them from is using cheap bushings or bearings. A tiny amount of play in a used turbo is fine but brand new i wouldn't even bother putting it on the engine, you risk blowing your seal and that leads to a run away engine.

    $1,000 is a damned good deal for that engine so long as you are selling it as a complete drop-in long block with all accessories still on it. I don't have a use for a Gen I CTD though.

  • @PatrickBaptist
    @PatrickBaptist Před 7 lety

    1:25, that won't work on a 7.3 PowerStroke, looking under it I mean, the blow by tube runs back into the intake. Easy way to check is remove the oil filler cap, it's normal for diesels to have a little blow by, saying none isn't really correct and if your truck is COLD when you check this it will be far far less than if you checked it after it got up to operating temp.
    Valves/valve seals can also cause blow by not just rings.
    I've got a 2000 F350 just about to hit 724204k or 450000 miles, it has some blow by, but it doesn't mind 15-20k loads.
