Ahale's 94 Build thread

thanks, its on the truck, I think I'm just going to shoot it with a coat of paint. It serves a purpose and looks decent, win in my book.
 
looks like I need a new Pump, 160 pump has a serious sticking rack/plunger that is becoming rather dangerous.

I'm going to look for a 180/215, not sure If I want to save and spend the dough to send the pump out to get benched, if not, it will just get my 5k's, dv's, rack plug, and afc swapped... I know that will be more than enough fuel for my goals, just not sure if i want to shell out the cash to get the pump balanced at the same time.
 
on another note, ive been busy the last few days, built a compound setup for a local truck... kind of a weird setup, it was fun to build.

366 over 475... yes, not ideal, but the typical "i got the turbo for a song deal" I'm trying to get him to trade the 66 wheel for a 62... or trade the whole fatshaft all together.

anyways, pictures, because everyone loves pictures.

Ive got a 887 215 pump coming to replace the 160, excited about that. I may dabble with trying to take a spare pump apart to swap out the 215's notched plungers.

really need to get a nice lift pump in this thing.

Local Dyno day is on the 30th, I wonder what it will put down. hoping closer to 700 if I manage to get a lift pump on it.


as always.....if the transmission holds
 
Well new plan is to turn the new pump into a 13mm with an 887 cam. I'm going to build the pump myself and have it balanced locally.

Things should get quite interesting.

Dyno is still on for the 30th, pump should be on the truck by then
 
I just read the last 5 pages and you are a wizard. I wish you knew more dmax tech. I would pay you in beers and favors....
 
Have fun building the pump, I started to attempt to salvage 1 out of 3 different pumps today from an older big cam cummins for a buddy of mine. Needless to say so far it has been a pain in the a$$
 
I bought some of the tools required to take them apart, i should be able to do mostly everything besides balance the pump.
 
better than Christmas....

chances are I'll build the pump tomorrow, hopefully i can get it to someone to bench it before the end of the week.

also have a 220gph fass on the way.

decided to pull the cam out with the gov still on it, no real need to pull the assembly apart for what I was doing.

crappy pic of the roller tappets in, compressed, with the tools to hold them in place. the tools from rocken tech were borderline useless.

tomorrow morning I'm off to have it benched, before that I need to swap out a set of 191DV's and throw them in the pump, id like to start with them, and go from there.
 
Very smart to pull cam with governor attached still. Notice any crazy wear at all in the parts you replaced?

Where did you buy the specialty tools at?

Thanks!

Only tools i bought were from rokentech, the tappet lifter tools, they were crappy quality and i screwed up a few of the roller lifter bores because of how the tool does not seat in the plug bore. There is barely a 1/16 of an inch of in an out where you will either not be able to turn the cam, or the eccentric on the end of the tool will hang on the aluminum at the end lf the bore. A little 80 grit took the burs off and its all fine.

Otherwise, just needed a press to compress the lifters, and an extra set of hands thanks to my buddy chris, aka 1stgenCTD

Pump is at a local shop getting benched hopefully today.
Sal at Boston injection was surprised when i told him it just wanted to be balanced, and that it was going to flow some serious fuel. He was going to set it to stock. I told him good luck with 5k springs, rack plug, 191's no plate and 13mm p&b's. LOL

Hopefully i get it back before the weekend.

But no, all the plungers and barrels looked good, cam and rollers looked good, and no wear that i could tell in the gov assembly, ill look harder at the plungers and barrels when i get back... One of them had to be sticking.
 
Rolled out the toolbox, twas a nice day.



I find the natural lighting brings out the color in my eyes.



Or maybe the barn was too packed to move LOL
