Exclamation One More Thing

I think the IP is kaput because I can shift into neutral when the engine is turning 3,000 RPM and it'll SPEED UP to 3,400 RPM and stay there ~ I left it racing and pulled over to check if the linkage was sticking / binding / whatever , it wasn't .

Still and all , the smooth , glassine power since I added the OFV spring , is nice .

I just did some math and discovered I've put over 70,000 miles on the rebuilt engine .

Yes, both styles, BUT the Euro (2 dog eared one) takes a while as those parts are not EZ Peezy to find. The "MW" lift pump -- I have plenty of the Bosch kits in hand.

Thumbs up Overhauled Transfer Pump

THANK YOU ! .

Now , if anyone who's actually installed a fuel pressure gauge would answer my simple question about the pressure and gauge flutter , I'd be happy .

We all need the details to make the proper diagnosis .

Installed greazzer's OFV spring. Improved idle and more pep as "advertised"!
Thanks for the fast ship.

Question Overflow Valves

? do you want some cores ? .

I have four of five I picked up , some are really grubby so they'll all need a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner (I assume you have one for the Injector Service needs) or you can laboriously hand clean them .

Let me know, I am most well pleased with the spring (s) you sold me .

Red face

I guess this means I need to stop and gather up my core valves & get them mailed.

Not super necessary. Just selling the spring -- HOWEVER --- I will probably order another batch sometime in 2017. Not 100% certain but leaning that way because I have around 2 dozen folks claiming they want one in 2017 .... In any event, if this current sale goes through, that means all batches have been sold with 100% happy customers less the very last one which will be anticipated to be happy too ...
