Also when removed RIV port cover the oil that came out felt to low in lubricity. like it had diesel in it. Thinned out lube might also explain all my oil leaks. My all brand new Oil lines using AN fittings (new line to turbo, new line to external oil filter head, new to oil temp thermostat. new to oil cooler.. and new line back to engine...and the few times engine has run in testing they all FIGHT me and seem to leak everywhere. Now its just the oil filter itself seems to leak out somewhere in that area and one line on the cooler. Or (and mostly this) I fawking suck and making AN lines (but I'll pretend it is the diesel in the oil and cheap chinese shiat AN fittings)

Annnnyway just to remove a variable . made up a line today to bypass the mechanical lift pump all together. For now will run the elec. pump only. Put that Elec. on a switch, into the new fuel system just in case of issues and I need to keep going with an air leak somewhere or or or?? New system is all AN lines I made up from Engine all the way to bottom of fuel pick up in tank. Its all new Fabri-hacked system. Though not hooked up yet. even have an aux. fuel polisher that will kick once a day (separate small solar charged battery runs it)
