    I did some polishing this weekend for my neighbor in exchange for a set of BC3 400 Injectors rebuilt in March and used for a couple weeks before they made a hole in the block , and he bought a BC3 off of ebay but his customer doesn't want the pump since his was rebuilt in March. So I'm gonna buy that pump for $200 its brand new in the box:biggrin_25525:

    Could i use these injectors if i decide to take off the STC? The injectors on the truck right now were put on new a couple months ago but im guessing that they're special to use for the STC system?

    I'm i gonna have to send the pump to get calibrated to my engine specs since its a BC3 Pump? Sorry if i ask to many questions but id rather ask before i start messing around than be asking when i cant put it back together.

    If you decide to change it over and do away with STC that pump and injectors will work as they are. You'll have to check and make sure the rocker levers and push tubes from the STC are compatible, I'm not sure they are.

    The push tubes are the same as a NTC BC4, but you would need to get the matching injector link(fires the injector from the rocker) for the non STC injectors.

    Sounds great Ill ask tomorrow so i can get all the leftover internals off the engine with the hole in the block just in case i ever need them i cant tell if the stc is working properly because when its cold it leaks from the shaft and its very sluggish on acceleration but after a couple minutes the leak stops and truck runs ok but i think its sucking air through the shaft cylinder is getting looked at this weekend hopefully ill be ready Monday so i can replace the pump and start to get it ready to go to work
