Quick, write that down... That would be a great title for some children's book...
But in this case, its my truck... I can't recall what my last update was, but I'm quite sure it wasn't good... I'm also too lazy to check...
Suffice to say that it may be one of two things at this point... Either timing on the injection pump slipped, or a $35 overflow valve has gone bad... The tools to do the timing are about $300...
One would think at this point I should be happy as I can see the end of the tunnel right?... Guess what, I just heard the whistle of the train attached to that light... The delightful person that last used the index pin built in to my engine to line up the cylinders to check the timing, seems to have forgotten to pull it out prior to starting the engine... Translation?... There is now a chunk of steel floating around my engine someplace... There is now no way to check my timing... There is presumably damage to the main timing gear inside the engine... I have found it impossible to pull out the timing pin in the hope of replacing it...
When am I going to catch a break with this?
