I had the rocker boxes off my 812 to modify for Jake heads which provided excellent acess to the two plugs in question. I can't say enough on the valve grinding compound trick, but after the fourth Allen key broke, the fifth one stripped the plug. I can't bring myself to cut any new holes in...

Just to throw two more cents in there: just my own personal opinion, I would rather throw 100 percent of retained dirt away as opposed to washing out 90 percent. The advantages of a washable element in a combat situation are more than obvious, but fortunately I don't find myself in those...

Great thread, I'll be doing this for sure on my M812. I might be splitting already split hairs, but if one of the goals is to try and equalize fuel delivery front to back, with just a return hooked up at the front I think the fuel balance has been reversed (although not to the same degree) so...

You can use a Fram CA362, then cross drill a bolt for a cotter pin, plug the hole in the center of the element with a bolt, two flat washers and a nut with the cotterpin to keep the nut from backing off. Its the best element I could find, there is no outer skirting on this one.

Sorry thats kind of a crappy picture, only one I had on my phone. I measure exactly 8'6" sidewall to sidewall. Duallies will be over width as well as those bigger super singles I think (53's?). Just tell Mike you want it rigged up with 15.5/80R20's he'll rig ya up. I dont like bud nuts on the...

If this works, here is a picture of my 812 cut down to size with a new deck. Lots of work left to do. It has 15.5/80R20 Michelin Pilots. Spacers only up front.

sidewall to sidewall will be right at max allowable width with 15.5/80R20 tires. the deck is way to wide, front bumper, side steps and mirrors. I have an M812 from Quesnel that I'm rigging up as a service truck at the moment.

No thoughts on this? There is no radial play just axial end play. Seems to work fine, just noticed when it when I pulled the belts off. Anyone notice this?

I have about an eighth of an inch end play on my power steering pump's shaft, is this normal? (nhc250)
