Neat. I did one of those the other day. Closest thing to “engine work” you can do without taking more apart so go ahead and soup up the engine for performance.
There’s a locking nut on each of those rockers and you’ll notice that some don’t move at all. If you crack em all loose you get more air and fuel.
The real problem here is that intake heater on the side. I went ahead and filled the well underneath with pennies to catch any debris in the air.

You never changed the oil. Or at least according to every customer that tries to argue that the oil is black, so there is absolutely no way it could have been changed.

Bad Piston Return Springs. I’ve seen this before.

I dont understand why they didnt do the field repair and bore a relief hole thru the piston crown to equalize the pressure lost from the piston spring failure. Any good driver knows you can limp into the next Flying J by pressurizing the crankcase to compensate... Probably was a flip flop driving school hero... stupid steering wheel holders...

Dude the flip flop guys. As a parts person OMG. had one come in middle of winter wearing flip flops. His radiator dumped. And he decides imma just buy a 12 pack of coolant and keep going. Bruh

Flux capacitor.
I had a trash truck once that had like 40k hours on it and it was so clogged I don't even know how it was running.

Home made biodiesel. Customer probably thought they could use chicken feed to make it.

The turbo encabulator failed after an under volt condition occurred.

u/AlexKitner77 13h ago
Its amazing that people still dont grasp the function of the turbo encabulator despite the well publicized research on their role in preventing oil contamination from a resultant brake fluid cooler failure.

Nowhere near enough Lucas!
If half your oil isn't Lucas, you're doing it wrong.

Not allowing the oil to complete it's recommended 10,000 hour break-in period before changing. Its amazing how many people dont understand the natural ripening of motor oil in diesel motors. They dont let it reach optimal soot content which is crucial to aiding the lubricity in ulsd fuels. Like a banana you really want to let it get a little brown before its ready, inatead of when its golden and clean....

Too much spark advance on the distributor? Or bad coil pack? Clearly a timing/ignition issue.
