IP Full Load Adjustment Procedure for the MW and M pumps
The rack limiter removal took me 3 hours with the pump and oil filter housing in place on the engine, including changing the DV's back to stock. One good trick is to use a long screwdriver (about 12") on the two inner screws, I was able to get my hand behind the oil filter housing to turn the screwdriver. The hardest screw was the lower left, too close to the filter body to get a screwdriver in there and partially blocked by the oil cooler lines. Having the injection lines out of the way also made things easier. In other words, YES, it is possible with the pump and filter housing in place and bear claw hands.
Results? I must say that I'm thoroughly disappointed. I can get some good smoke by revving from idle without a load but I can't discern any difference at all in acceleration.
Its not even remotely close to the kind of power I had with the cut DV's. Too bad the idle was crap and the EGTs were insane.
The only real benefits I notice after all that work are a smoother idle (readjusting the rack damper) and a quick shutoff (replaced the old leaking shutoff actuator with a new one).
Here is a quick smoke video.
