I got my muffler straped back down today and took her for a little trip, about 10 miles. When I got back I found I've still got fuel getting into the oil. I've rebuilt the fuel pump and tightened all the lines in the head. Is there anywhere else fuel and oil could mix? |

get a pump that will pump up to 30 lbs or more.... pinch off the return line... pump up your fuel system.... you'll find your leaks....chances are 1 or more of the jumper lines are leaking....tightening them with out the proper socket and torque wrench is foolish..unless you want to continue to have leaks....get the correct tools or take it to someone who has experience and proper tools.... |

Check the fuel "stand off" fittings or sometimes called fuel manifold fittings.These are the fittings that thread into the fuel galleys in the head.The fuel crossover pipes connect to these fittings on one end and to the injector at the other end.There are copper sealing washers under each fitting.I'd replace the washers.The fittings should be torqued to 40-45 ft/lbs.with new washers installed.You will have to remove the fuel crossover pipes to do this.
Check the flare on each side of each fuel crossover pipe for any cracks or distortion, replace as needed.Don't overtighten the fuel crossover pipes, you'll damage them. Use the proper tool to tighten them.Torque them (fuel pipes)to 12-15 ft/lbs.Best of luck with your repair. |
