Oh trust me, Im not mocking you in the least! Its just Ive seen this scenario many times and more times than not, it becomes a basket case. There is a lot of special tools, torque specs, clocking precups and such, it can get more expensive than you anticipate in a hurry. I and the others will help you as much as we can, but you also have to realize your limits. I admire the fact that you are hands on for sure, not many would even attempt to tackle such a project with little to no service specs and tooling.I have the "pre cup" spacers because they are rusted to the pre cups. I don't understand why you think I am way over my head. I own a construction company but I have always did my own mechanic work, that includes my diesel and gas trucks. This caterpillar engine is unchartered territory for me hence the reason I joined this forum and was seeking help from the great people here who know this engine or have experienced the same problems I am having. Over my head? It really doesn't seem hard to buy a special little tool to put the precombustion chambers back in so that the glow plugs are In the right spot and if not to change the spacer on the bottom with a different one that's in my kit. I really appreciate all the awesome help that I have received this far. Btw I did number each pre cup when I pulled it but that's really erelvant because I think I'm just gonna buy all New ones since they're only about 100 bucks and the tips are only about 100 bucks so I feel it will be safer with New equipment instead of using this abused stuff.
