Hey all,
I started a "new" project today..
It's a 1995 F-250 w/ the power stroke diesel.. I bought it the way I buy pretty much everything it seems.. a true mechanics special. I picked it up cheap and have been kicking around getting it going for a while now.. Today was that day..
It did/does run, but smokes like a freight train, and has a MAJOR oil dilution issue (it has added about a gallon of fuel to the oil in roughly 30 minutes of idling/ 2-3 miles driving).. I bought it knowing of this issue, and did some homework on possible causes.
I have popped 2 of 8 injectors, and this is what I found already
The injector with the rough looking end had NO copper "crush" washer on it that I can tell. I have cleaned up the injector cup and a little on the end of the injector, and it shows no sign of a washer ever being in there.. The bottom of the injector cup was carboned up as much as the injector, and has the lower O-ring hard and brittle, and has a lot of cracks. I'm not positive, but I think I have found the fuel in oil problem..
The truck come from the original owner (who I work with) and has about 183,000 on the clock.. I called him and asked if it has ever had injector work done and he said not to the best of his recollection.. Seems like if the washer has been missing since new the problem would have surfaced long ago..
I'll continue to offer updates on progress, if anyone is interested in hearing/seeing it as it unfolds.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
