I have seen these for sale but dont think I would have ever broken down and bought one of these. just save me $25. Not sure how much will pertain to my 82. Other than the block and injectors I think everything else is same or similar. Im downloading this. Thanks again.

 

Very nice link.I bought a GM service manual for those engines dated in 1983 or 84.Paid something like $50 for it.

 

Thanks Diaric. A very good foundation for basic specs and I found the final page on special tools both interesting and amusing at the same time. I've seen some of those tools over the years during tool surveys at GM dealerships and wondered what they were, besides just obsolete, now I know. I also have a resource I would like to contribute to the stickey library, once I figure out how to do that. A poor copy of the torque/horsepower curve for the LF9. It took several days of searching to find it. Maybe dieselolds has this in the service manual and can replace it with a copy you can actually read.

Sorry, just noticed this one. You can upload it as attachment. You will see it as the paper clip icon in the reply boxes other than quick reply.

Any info that helps others and builds a collection is of value :thumb:

 

Looks like My scan of a fairly old GM Service Training Group textbook... From HERE--->1978_1980_Oldsmobile_350N_Diesel_Training_Manual.pdf
This is really only applicable to the original early N series engines with pencil injectors that GM put in the trucks. Many of those were updated to the DX block with Poppet heads and injection pump or just "upgraded" to gasoline engines.
I have a copy of the later 78-85 5.7L textbook that includes the DX and Micro Poppet injectors... I have yet to scan the beast.

Here's two training booklets that have pretty decent 5.7L Olds fuel system details but not nearly what's in the big 78-85 5.7L diesel textbook.

Funny thing is, I didn't find it there. I got it off a pay to view site with manuals and books, then saw it originally came from you. Thank you :thumb: for the hard work you have done. I have spent weeks searching to come up with many more resources, and host them here. We have been burnt so many times with linking good info that later disappears, that we upload all we can now to ensure accessibility. I've given you needed credit for your work, and you are welcome to borrow what you like from here. :bounce:

Many will be looking forward to that. Good info is about as hard to find as parts. :shake: Richard.

80' cadillac seville with 5.7 diesel on.

Hello everyone,
Found that site while looking for parts,
My cad have some problem with the roosa masters pump ; don't succeed to find another with all same specifications; can I find compatibility with other one ?
Mine is DB2825 SH3811 J
I live in Europe, Help is welcome :banghead::bawl::bawl::bawl:

 

Thank you - just what we needed!

 

There are a few of us here that have worked on these things so feel free to start a thread and ask some questions if you need to or just tell us how its going.

 

I have a 1980 GMC Stepside OEM 5.7L Diesel... it's my baby! Dad & I are repairing the injection pump & replacing some injectors

 

Any pictures to share?My father and I have had our share of those 5.7 Diesel engines over the years from rebuilding them to overhauling the injection pumps,etc but because parts are getting tough to find we hardly use them anymore.I still have a 1981 5.7 diesel in a 78 Chevy truck.And a early 78 engine in our garage.

 

Be very careful removing the, I'm not sure what it's called, but the ball on a post looking thing. They are made out of a very hard, but brittle metal. You can't use a regular Allen wrench or it will break. There is a special tool that clamps around it to support it while being removed.

 

You must be referring to the Bristol drive bolt in the lower section of the pump on the pencil injected engines.Yes it’s a brittle alloy and can break easily.I usually use a torx socket or hex socket with impact gun and I whip it out of there.A ratchet with torx socket will only split the bolt.
