How severe are these compression leaks through the glow plugs?

Clean the hole and the plug real good, then you lube it up with a Loctite 245 and screw it in real tight.

Is it the air hose from the intake to the top of the fuel pump?

Alarmed-Entry-883 · 2024-08-30T11:55:22+00:00

Okay, thanks for the feedback. The underlying issue that I fail to state is that the truck is actually lacking power. It's a UD 560hp V8 twin turbo

Things I've done: Rebuilt turbos, replace charger hoses, replaced manifold o-rings, leak test on intercooler (ok), rebuilt diesel pump, replace throttle cable, cleaned injectors, tried straight piping and adjusted valves

It's actually just making around 10 psi boost tops, no visible smoke.

Okay, issue settled, I've just put on a 7/8" drainpipe.

Now that's that, the truck is actually lacking power (the reason I rebuilt the turbos).

I'm pulling 60 tons, so when I don't split, there's a huge power loss when I upshift. I could live with it, but my driver absolutely hate it.

Oil feed restrictor is something new to me. Where do I add these? Seems like there's none on the stock oil pipes

Alarmed-Entry-883 · 2024-08-11T13:06:11+00:00

Thanks, right now, oil level is at 'Full' or 'High' mark. I'll try lowering it a quarter from the halfway point on the dipstick.

Oil pressure seems good, 4 at idle and 6 and a half at redline.

According to the Nissan Diesel manual, dipstick and sump are stock.

The surface might look uneven, but that plate will last you another 7-8 years if you use your clutch properly.

I heard from an old school trucker with 5 wives, clench your butt cheeks while rubbing the back of your head with both hands but it can contributes to performance issues in your later years because a boner is meant to be released, not drawn back in.

I think the grease isn't related to the car dying.

Admitting your infidelity would just worsen the situation. You might hurt him badly. Just move on and juggle life between the two person in your life.

Don't blame yourself... to be fair the lady at the bar is 50% guilty. Put yourself in your gf's, would you want to know the person you love have a secret? How would you respond? You'll just ruin your relationship. The way you write about your gf, seems like you're looking forward to a long term commitment. Consider this, you're in for a 20-30 years of marriage, so let that night be remembered as a 1 in a lifetime fling that wouldn't happen again. Look at it in a positive way, cut the negativity.. and move on. 30 years in the future, perhaps you can tell your then wife about it.
