3/8”, not 3/16” travel

Where do the blocks break besides when rods go?

HG is starting to leak, HH is leaking, and I think making oil, cheese…

Alt quit, swapped it with known working one from the recently acquired thrown rod truck. Still no juice. No signal from main power switch. Duh. Should have checked that first. Tonight got lucky and found the short quickly. Got juice again.

Looky what I found. I’ll mess with it and see what I can figure out.

Howdy One one of my engines makes a pretty good racket in the front end. Haven't seen it mentioned before, others run into it? Thanks

Plunger travel/button intact? i used to have a junk pump around here I could mess with... Where is @rustystud ? :-)

I don't think mine get that high.

maybe @Gunfreak25

Tactical Repair on YT might have some info. I don't think I have any spare/bad pumps. I know a guy from here moving there that has some deuces... What's wrong with the old pump?

Bump 😁

Anyone ever try backing off the timing to decrease cylinder pressure and reduce chances of popping head gaskets?

I just had the pan off an LD and it had squirters…what is the external telltale, please? Thanks

I assume on a non TD block if the head bolts are over torqued, the top of the head deforms or the threads pull. Does anyone know? I wonder if it would help to put keen sert or time serts in the head to increase the amount of cast iron the fastener is pulling on. Are studs for TD blocks longer?
