  1. Yesterday
  2. From experience I would say at you need to replace head gasket. It will leak, surely you can try. I have tryed it several times, also tryed to cut that front from new gasket and used silicon in that connection point but no luck.
  3. Last week
  4. How did the rebuild go? And what turbo did you end up going with? Is it still stock?
  5. Earlier
  6. So I have it running and driving in the truck. Couple of questions: What temperature thermostat did the engine have in it stock? Right now it has a 140F in it and that seems way too cold. On my engine I see blocked off lines that look like they went to a oil cooler. Did these cars come with an oil cooler stock? Is there a thermostat in the oil cooler to regulate flow cause I don't see how they were able to just block off the oil cooler lines. Does anyone know the max EGT temp recommended post turbo for this motor? E987E625-C6C4-4EB7-8DE4-C8C45CDEBC3F.MP4
  7. Update time. After dozens of tests with the fuel system the issue has suddenly vanished and pressure is stable and where it should be (50+ psi of fuel pressure at full boost and rpms up). This is cool but it made it even more clear something else is wrong. Im pretty sure Blackie would beat this thing to 100 mph. With all the weight reduction and super shortened gear ratios I would have thought it would spin tires more. It really only spins in 2nd and thats if I send it from 1st to 2nd. I decided to pull the timing covers off and of course a bit of the head gasket busted when I did that. Think some RTV can seal it up? Reallllly dont want to have to pull the head off. More importantly I am skeptical about my timing chain tensioner work. Im a little confused still about how its supposed to operate. But I think I left the tensioner locked the entire time I drove the car and so it wasn't able to press against the chain well. I was able to rotate the crankpulley 4-5 degrees back and forth without the camshaft rotating due to the chain slop. Also because of the slop I think I had the cam pulley timed wrong. With the notch on the cam pulley lined up with the mark on the head I was seeing the crank pulley TDC mark sitting on the 4* retarded mark. Should it be bang on or is 4* off acceptable?
  8. I am looking to buy a 1980’s diesel Peugeot sedan in drivable condition if anyone has one they’re thinking of selling? I live in San Diego, CA but willing to travel to see a vehicle and ship back here if it checks out. 604 and 505 models are preferred but open to what’s out there as well!
  9. I saw a listing on FB marketplace for a Mi16 just like yours in Buffalo - are you selling the white mi16 Joe? Surely there is not two Mi16s in the same area.

  14. I purchased Jim's Mi16 from the estate auction in November 2022 and it now resides in Brooksville, FL VF3DB1332MS518585 91 MI16
  15. The same kind of vacuum pump on a 205/309 is using 10W40 oil.
  16. Finally got coolant lines, power steering and braking figured out. What kind of lubrication does the vacuum pump take. I was told by previous owner of the engine to fill with atf so I filled it half way but it puked fluid out the front seal when running. Am I filling it wrong or is the front seal on the pump bad? Side questions: Am I doing any damage using a <10 psi pump to feed the engine, will the excess fuel go out the return line? Is there any method you recommend the correctly set the injection pump timing and fast idle cold start adjustments?
  17. I tested in 2 ways. I had a strip of LEDs connected with Alligator clips on the terminals of the pump to see that power was still there when the car cuts out as my multi meter is to slow to react. I also had my multi meter probed onto the pump terminals to read voltage, it was steady at 13.67.
  18. How did you test the power? Did you use the same ground than the pump?
  19. Update time.. Need some input on this guys - I have been all over this car trying to solve this issue... Whenever I give the car any sort of throttle the engine will drop power and usually cut out. I spent a while trying to find a lead why its cutting out and eventually I put a fuel pressure gauge inline and it does go from around 35-40 psi while cruising to somewhere in the low 20s when it cuts out. The fuel pump also has a very pulsated squirting sound and I can feel the fuel output line of the pump vibrate in harmony with the sound of the pump. Whats strange here is if I turn the car off and wait a few minutes and then turn it back on and floor it I seem to have full power... for a few minutes until it slowly starts to develop the low fuel pressure issue again. Also when I first turn the car on the pump does not make weird noises only after driving for a while does it sound weird. Is there something im missing?? Things I have already done: I have changed from the original gravity fed fuel system to use a lifter pump in the spot for the sender unit. I have looked inside the tank and it looked clean but looks can be deceiving and its hard to see everything in there. I have not actually cleaned the tank though. I have replaced all the fuel lines before the external pump. Filter and pump were bought new when I put the engine in a few months back (OEM units) I have tested power to the pump is consistent while driving and that voltage is good. Tried another pump but to no success. On a good note the car is road legal and driving!! I got the busted lug bolt replaced along with swapping the wheel bearing 3 times, but its done now. I also had poor camber alignment causing the front tires to rub against the shock body, but I got that fixed up and is able to drive, except for the stupid fuel issues.
  20. Peugeot’s never had lift pumps, just a primer on the filter head. Definitely want to do a lift pump and a modern filter head on my cars though - Just haven’t figured out what that looks like yet. Rabin
  21. Yeah, usually engines have a lift pump spec pressure to the injection pump to make sure they're getting enough supply. I didn't know if it was something to actively look for on these engines.
  22. Hey guys, I was just joking around. Wasn't sure if anyone cared about these old relics anymore, ha... SRDT, thanks for that, I'll look into it and see if I actually need them or if its just a seal...
  23. I'm still there... Bosch did list 0 280 156 045 injectors as compatible, you can find no less than 6 of them on any Cadillac CTS 3.2l V6.
  24. I read most of your post on the mi16s, I just dont usually have any input being that I dont know much about em. Iv done a crap ton of work on my 505s this winter I just never posted anything because I also didnt think anyone was interested.
  25. I’m reading them! (I wish I knew the secret to attracting people that prefer forums…) I tried a buddy’s vacuum bleeder and I might need to get my own now - super slick and supposed to eliminate the need to burb the cooling system. BTW - My stuff has been dormant so long my wife has asked me to start getting rid of them. So I had to double down and make shit happen instead - I’ve been acquiring more goodies for some thread resurrections this Spring / Summer. I will have to pare down the projects, but think combining rather than just decommissioning.
  26. Boy, I hope someone still reads this forum, it seems pretty dead these days... Got the coolant topped back up finally today, after doing the timing belt and water pump over a month ago. When I had to move the car for the first time in a long time today, I remembered that the car didn't take all the coolant back down when I went to refill after those jobs, so was a good excuse to pick up one of these fill kits today. Took about 15 minutes total, glad I bought the kit after all these years of struggling with just long funnels... In other news, while monitoring the coolant going down, I noticed that one of the injectors started leaking, but I planned to pull them all for ultrasonic cleaning anyways, so more fun to come...
