He fellas.. Our of curiosity. Im replacing block side gasket of oil cooler / filter housing setup. Was just wondering if anyone is using rtv on gasket or is it a gasket only deal?

So Does the cut flywheel make a difference? Does the little computer make difference between horsepower or anything? 

Hello everyone. I'm sure you guys can help me for you have all provided me spot on advice in the past so here we go.

94 rd. Had a e7 400 with electronic foot pedal with a  Bosch injector pump. Truck was purchased with blown motor. We brought a 97 e7 454 semi electronic to put in its place. We are using the flywheel of the e7 400 cause we had that one resurfaced. Now. Truck wont start. Now I will not fill this thread with the things I have already read because I wont a from scratch opinion. Other problem. On that Bosch pump what's the feed and what's the return. When they swapped motor they didnt remember  the fuel flow. I do know on our old e7 tip turbine , return is coming from front of pump.

I adjusted valves today. Still running bad. Pretty sure she is huffing. She is whopping out of the exhaust. Draining oil and compression test but expecting to see something poor.

Will do. Let y'all know my findings

I brought my bigcam formula 400 with two blown pistons. For the price I just did the whole motor. Trying to convince this guy to do the same. Pretty sure this motor was stuck wide open. Don't know if it ran away or what but the old pump had been opened.  It makes good oil pressure tho

I'm going to go down the list and try everything that has mentioned.  Going to swap nozzles tomorrow and do compression test. Where should my readings be on the compression test? I'm aware that a lack of compression could be a couple things. Going to back of on exhaust rockers too case dynatard sticking.

So I shouldn't be able to blow thru them or I should. There nozzles not injector if I'm correct. Or am I wrong?

I understand it very well. Otc graduate. Grandfather owned everything from b models to dm. Just that from the very beginning.  The information was not clear. People I was talking to prior to here. So I was trying to get facts straight about pump alignment which I really didn't get answers to until I reached out here. Sorry for being a pain but you must understand truck was brought to me not running and I want to cross my T's and dotting my I's 10 times before I move on to the next step. At the end still need to get paid for what I've done already. I believe everything is in time. I have court closing at 18 degrees. And truck is firing on all the other cylinders but one in six so I'm going to move on to the next step.

Was gonna swap nozzles to see if cylinder would fire. Is there any possibility that I'm still off with pump. E6 350 2v

No we did not have nozzles checked. This thing has lifters.  Thought rocker was pushing right down on valve. Like a said previous. 1 and 6 is not firing. Everything else is.

You mean the dynatard adjustment of the valve it self

Exhaust valve is moving

How can I tell the dynatard is sticking

When I crack 1 and 6 fuel comes out. Have back valve cover off. How can I tell it's sticking. Exhaust valve is moving.

And have it timed at 18 now. When I open in lines to nozzle 1 + 6 I get no response. Nozzles two through 5 I get a response.

I know. But why number 1 and 6 not firing. No truck was not running when it came to me.

Pump exchange for a rebuilt one. Truck was brought not running. The pump on the truck was set for 22 BTC and the one on there now is set at 18. I have going through all the procedures number one cylinder TDC and Port close on fuel pump. Slid right back on but truck running the same way that the first time. Double check my mark. At 18 degrees in the vibration dampener I cannot blow through the holes with number one spring and valve removed. Which means I'm dead on I'm assuming. I'm going to pull pump off again and do the Port close method again. Looking at rocker arms from passenger side I'm assuming the one with the bigger nut is the exhaust valve. I I have back valve cover off in the valve closest to the firewall getting ready to open with the vibration dampener at TC so I'm assuming number one is at tip Tip Top Dead Center on compression stroke. As long as I'm looking at the valves are right way. Truck starts it revs up but it seems like soon there's one in six or not firing

Need serious help. Have done everything that have been instructed to do. Reach closed port on pump align motor to top dead center. Put pump on motor rotate motor to find out what present timing is which was 22 degrees. Rotated motor to 18 degrees. Readjusted fuel pump to Port closing at 18 degrees. Motor and still running off. When I crack up lines 2 through 5 I have a change in engine performance. When I crack Line 1 and 6 still no fire. No change in engine sound. So I'm wondering if I'm still off with the pump. Looking at rocker arms from passenger side the rocker arm with the big nut on the top is the exhaust valve correct? Just making sure that I have number 1 at top dead center on compression stroke.

LMack. What you're saying makes perfect sense to me. That's why I at the beginning I asked how the pump functions. If it's waist fire or not. I also asked if wants to pump lines up with the key and slides right on is it in time? In the beginning of it all a local gentleman told me they slide right on right off no problems. Which I'm assuming should have been true but initially had no knowledge of the pin. We managed to get pump on out of alignment. This is where the problem began. So after discussion with you guys and I found out about how the pump needed to be aligned I just learned it and put it back on but at this point everything was already out of time. So what I should have done from that point was take the valve covers off and get the motor to TDC and then the pump but I didn't. I just kept playing with the pump in the alignment with the pin. At that point I rotated the motor one time but everything was out of alignment so it didn't matter I was chasing a ghost. So as I said before right now Motors at TDC. Did valve overlap procedure. Intake valve is just beginning to open and I stopped. It was about 4 degrees on the dampener. So I'm going to back off to TC. And pull pump off. I'm going to put it on the bench and use a small supply of air I'm going to pull out the spring and the delivery valve install back lock nut like you guys said and I'm going to rotate it until I hit air stop coming out of number one port. Which I'm assuming is the one on the front side of the pump flange side. Put valve in spring back in put pump back on truck.

The truck is running. But it's running really rough and a lot of white smoke. Someone said that this for revolutions to that pump so that I have to make sure regardless if there's a key or not that number one is at close port.

I did that already with same results. Right now I am for sure that the motor is tdc. I have both covers off motor. Is it possible that pump is off now? Well I'm gonna pull the pump and make sure I have injector 1 on pump at closed port.

And do I have to have it at wide open throttle and the stop lever outer in when I do that procedure or I don't touch any of that?

Yes it does. I just want to make sure though... As long as this pump slid right on I don't have to worry about the timing outside of the adjustments needed to be made at the timing gear.. meaning I couldn't put the pump on backwards. I just want to make sure that at this point the only thing I need to do is degree to pump.

Guys don't give up on me.
