Notice the four shiny rebuilt injectors, the very shiny rebuilt fuel injection pump, the somewhat shiny starter with new solenoid and those two sexy red power cables.
We had two mysteries going on at once. Somehow, something nasty was getting into the bilge and somehow diesel fuel was getting into the crankcase. When we had an oil analysis done they said there was a high level of diesel fuel contamination in the crankcase. Starting with the injectors and working back to the fuel pumps we found the source. And by "we" I mean Bradley.
When he took off the fuel injector pump the bottom stud was loose. This was allowing diesel to escape and drip into the bilge. This loose fitting also allowed diesel to get into the crankcase. While we had the fuel injection pump off we went ahead and had it rebuilt. And a heli coil fixed the stripped bottom stud.
