Hey guys,
Before i get too long winded about what I have going on, I'm working on a 1995 Ford F-250 with the Powerstroke. Most of the following post will likely make much sense, unless you're fairly knowledgeable on these thing I dare to bet, as what homework I have done has me halfway confused even (AND I EVEN HAVE A MANUAL!)
The original problem was fuel in the oil.. I'm not positive that problem is completely solved, but what I do know is I have gotten it back together and ran it about a hour now and the oil is not rising.. before, in a hour time it would gain A LOT.
What I have done so far: New injector O-Rings, new rubber lines, new fuel filter, new fuel pump, new valve cover gaskets & harnesses, and new glow plugs.
When I took the truck apart (and removed the fuel filter canister) The Injector Pressure Regulator was "apart" (I did not know what it was at that time, but I do now). The crappy little nut had fallen off the back side, and the magnet pulled off. I see NAPA and Auto Zone call this the fuel pressure regulator, but from what research I turned up, it looks as if this would regulate the oil pressure to the injectors as opposed to the fuel.. CORRECT? It don't even come in contact with the fuel, so i don't know how it can be a "Fuel Pressure Regulator"
I put it back together, but backwards.. I put the "top hat" looking spacer towards the HPOP (High Pressure Oil Pump), and the magnet on the end, then a nut.
My questions are this: Being I put this together "backwards" will it affect how it works, as the truck does run as is, however not quite right still (but has been sitting for a long while, and I am going to clean the fuel press. regulator up tomorrow in hopes to help remedy my hard start)??
Question 2: The goofy little nut that holds the magnet on was missing (and can best be described as a "push" nut), so I found a suitable standard nut (1/2-20 nut threaded on perfect) and tightened it up nice and snug.. how tight would you suppose it should it be tightened? The magnet shouldn't be able to wobble around, right?

Today's Featured Article - What Oil Should I Use? - by Francis Robinson. I keep seein this question pop up over and over again in discussion groups all over the web. As with many things there are often several right answers and a few wrong ones. Some purist I'm sure will disagree to no end with what I will tell you but most of us out here in the real world don't really care do we ? Some of them only bring their noses down out of the air long enough to look down them anyway. If you are like me you are only doing this old tractor stuff because you enjoy it. You
