Dude thank you so much, I was panicking thinking my block had cracked open. Turns out 30 year old gaskets suck. It was easier for me because I have a ve pump but it's all the same. Again thanks so much

7:30 ? Just like magic its on. Any torque values for the hold down bolts? My truck is the 24 valve so a little different. The gasket kit came with two different types of washers. Six had rubber under steel, and 6 were really thin washers that had 4 little tabs on the inside diameter, maybe there to catch the threads so they don't fall off when you're starting the threads. No instructions came with gasket kit. I wanted to use the steel&rubber washers, but they were too thick and not enough of the bolt's threads engaged the block. So I used the thin steel ones because that's what was used prior.

I’m not sure the torque spec on those bolts. I’ve never used one for them. They are just normal bolts so I just tighten them up. And yes I have seen some gaskets come with the thick steel/rubber washers. Usually felpro. Just use whatever style was there before. Thanks for watching!

@@screamindieselltd Thank you! I used the same type of washer that was there, and socked them up pretty good - just by feel. My gasket is a felpro. I was disappointed to see it was made in China.

I had my tappet cover swapped by a shop because it had a bad leak. They installed a billet cover. Now my truck makes this annoying humming noise that I know is for sure coming from that area by the injector lines but the shop is throwing their hands up saying they don’t know where that noise is coming from. Any ideas what it might be? The noise gets louder as I step on the gas but doesn’t seem to affect the truck.

Does it get louder with rpm? Does it sound like a gear noise?
@iCampSometimes26 ай бұрын
Yes it does
@screamindieselltd6 ай бұрын
The factory cover has a noise isolating fabric on it. Without that you may be hearing gear train noise from the timing gears in the front. Just a thought. There’s not really anything inside that cover that would make noise at all. It’s just the tappets and pushrods.

It’s possible if the pump jumped a little when you piped the gear off. It may be running say 10* instead of 13*. If it’s out a lot it won’t run good but a little bit it will still run but not as good as it did.

The one I bought on Amazon doesn’t have the middle bolt. It will work?
@screamindieselltd3 жыл бұрын
Do you mean the stud coming off of it or the center bolt hole? If you mean the studs than yes it will work just fine. All that does is hold souls dampening material on the cover. If it’s missing an actual mounting hole than I wouldn’t use it. It may not sit tight against the block and seal, so you may have a leak.

for the plug, do you leave it in there when the cap is put back on or do you take it out.
@screamindieselltd2 жыл бұрын
You flip it around so the fork that holds the tab in the pump can’t hit it. It gets stored inside the cap on the side of the pump.

I'm gonna remove the head on my ppump 12v. Getting head oringed and doing some port work. I'd like to replace tappet cover gasket as well. Will i be able to do tappet cover gasket with head off or will I still have to remove my pump. I've got it timed go 20* would rather not remove it if i can do tappet gasket with the head off. Let me know thank you.
@screamindieselltd3 жыл бұрын
Unfortunately you will have to remove the pump. If you mark everything and line it Back up where it was you should be fine. Like mark the crank to the timing cover and mark where the injection pump shaft is in the gear. Or you can retime the pump with a timing kit. There pretty cheap and fairly easy to use. Hope that helps! Thanks for the comment. Any other questions or want the pump retimed feel free.

Did you put the gasket on with the thicker side facing the block? It’s easy to put it on the cover backwards. And a skim of silicone is always helpful on gaskets.
