Dude I like your truck I got plenty of questions about wiring mating harness or stand alone stuff like that check out my junk diesel world just gave me a little spot in the back this month

Well, not good, never got it off the trailer.

Got it back, and got it ready to pull out. FML, can't believe I just typed that.

Anyway, this is what I found in the oil screen under the cooler. If someone can figure out WTF the black chit is, please let me and the rest of the world know, its everywhere. I know what the Copper is.

Its very soft, almost feels like paper, but has the consistency of graphite.

The guy that built the motor has been building Race motors exclusively for 25+ years, and Everyone will point you to him for a motor. He built my boat motors, and builds Nitromethane, alcohol, turbo motors, blower motors, etc. (he used to build Don Garlitts motors FWIW). He knows his chit is what I am getting at. He has not had a chance to look at it yet, but will Monday. I'm just plane baffled, but clearly I am looking at a complete tear down, a ton of cleaning, new injectors, and at the very least, new bearings for the motor, and rebuilding both turbos. I want it done yesterday, and I certainly want it by TS, (the new one). Given the fact that the oil has to pass through that Screen to fire the injectors, and it was literally clogged solid, we were not getting the full power out of it.

Oh well, it is what it is, but that doesn't make it suck any less.

well man on the plus side you got it in their and running rite now its all a matter of money... I know how chitty this kind of thing can be... i built a 4 cylinder 2 years ago to race and put a little over 3 grand in it and 2 weeks after starting it up the motor was toast never got to see the track... just hang in their dont do like me and give up keep pushing through the pain of rebuilding a fresh motor... The black stuff on the screen looks like sludge but that shouldnt happen in a new motor

 

[Dalpilot]

It feels like Graphite. I'll get it running again. Too cool to drive not to.

 

[mini274]

No shit im still waiting on you to mass produce them so i can buy one...

 

[Dalpilot]

LOL, looooong wait my friend.
