@Kiwi SRT10 was the engine dynoed or fired up prior to instllaing it in the truck ?
The Engine Build
- Thread starter Kiwi SRT10
- Start date
IT LIVES!!!!
Initial startup.
A couple of small issues. Injectors needed clips. Used a hacksaw blade and made the retainer groove go all the way round so clips could be used. Was close to a large fire as the injectors went further down the hole exposing the oring, gas spraying about.
Power steer hose came off on first drive. Found retainer clip for that too. 11pm and work at 5am so nothing else today
