I saw on ebay a oil rail crossover line /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif it says that it equalizes oil pressure to the injectors. Is that a wise thing to do? Anyone have a DIY write up and pics on this? Can anyone further explain what youd need to do it and what the benefit would be?
Thanks
Dan

Well I gues the question still stands do they do what they claim to do. That is does the oil crossover line actually equal out the oil pressure between both sides of the engine, and if so what is the advantage?

The advantage is that the ICP sensor can regulate fuel better now and make for a smoother, quiter and possibly more efficient cycle. The proof are the pressure graphs on Dennis' site.

You could spring an oil leak, the truck will die because you have no oil to fire the injectors, and you are stranded until you fix the leak and refill the oil.

Solution: KEEP THE HEAD PLUGS IN THE GLOVEBOX, put them in a plastic baggie and make sure you have the tools to reinstall them in case of a leak, and on long trips, keep enough oil handy to refill in case of a leak, 2 gallons +.
