32 Benzes ... and never a diesel purge?
why is that process so highly regarded in so many circles?
i already have two bottles as a birthday gift ... so I will likely do the purge to see if i get any gains at the IP. ...a bit of a 'can't hurt' mentality
I should also point out that I'm not in the mindset to do any major-fluid changes
prior to the pulling. The transplant will hopefully happen this winter, so I thought I'd save things like oil-pan gaskets, check-valves, ATF flush (assuming i'm going to keep the AT in the Metro), fuel-tank filters ... until the transplant.
I may do a timing chain replacement prior to transplant if i find it way out of spec...
For now, here is my revised OOO:
- Valve adjustment
- Timing-mark method to assess chain stretch
- New valve cover gasket
- Diesel purge (likely 2X ... but who knows)
- Compression test (fingers crossed!)
- Get nozzles inspected
- Re-install injector assembly
- new braided return lines
- New inline fuel filters (pre- and primary)
- New primer pump (currently have the white plastic version)
finally, I've also been curious about valve stem seals but also need to go in and look to see if i actually need them... I've read the posts on green/black/orange/whatever colored seals, and am aware of the precautions.
again, thanks to everyone for the help
