THE ISSUE WITH STAND PIPES:
The stand pipes on the market today - regardless of any claims to meet OE specifications - are tainted with poor reviews, quality issues and failures. Even kits that claim to be "enhanced" or "improved" seem to come with heavy risk for torn o-rings or a hefty tow bill regardless of how newly installed. Ford themselves have also switched their supplier and the original sets no longer in production.
When comparing new Ford sets vs old OE sets, the quality is incomparable and flaws noticeable. Even more, when comparing new Ford sets vs 'enhanced' aftermarket sets, there are little changes in the design. We see wrong o-ring material and lack of back-ups, poor machining on the oil ports that are thinner and vulnerable to breaking, and o-ring grooves and fitment of very bad quality.
THE DIESELSITE SOLUTION:
We started from scratch and addressed every problem we could.
Our stand pipe shafts are redesigned to accept a back-up o-ring on EVERY o-ring which is made of the proper material and durometer (hardness). We've also doubled the o-rings (and back-up o-rings) on the inside shaft and changed the tolerances to properly match said o-rings.
DIESELSITE standpipes will ship disassembled for o-ring inspection and pre-greased.
INSTALLATION INFORMATION:
OUR STANDPIPES WILL COME DISASSEMBLED and GREASED. Do not reassemble dry.
While you may add additional grease, DO NOT add or use motor oil, petroleum jelly, or engine assembly lube.
These materials are not compatible or are not sufficient; use a "GC-LB" [ex: bearing] grease.
ease inspect all o-rings and confirm placement of safety o-rings prior to installation.
