Om 606 prechamber Fail
(12-10-2018, 12:58 PM)maneyc91 Well i had a little laugh to myself when i saw this thread, I came here to make a thread about my prechamber failure and found this instead, with pictures that could have been from my motor they look so similar, cylinder #5 for me too. I was driving along and it just went downhill real fast, smoking, sputtering etc. No comp on cyl number 5, smoking out the intake ports. From what i could see its an injector problem. The bummer is mine happened about 2 weeks after i finished doing a mech pump swap, big turbo etc. My plan of approach is to pull motor, swap in a good piston and rod, get the valves for #5 worked on, smooth out the damage on the head, put 'er back together. Luckily my holset hx35 didnt get damaged by the metal chunks. Probably going to pull my motor later today.....The number 5 cylinder seems to be the problem cylinder. You might also want to do the Diesel Meken thermostat bypass to number 5 cylinder as well. He has a you-tube video on this, I do this to all my conversion engines. DieselpumpUK also just came out with a smaller water pump pulley to run the water pump faster to improve cooling.
editt:: my damage is actually isolated to just the #5 so i guess i got lucky there, my motor still has all its crosshatching after 200k
