Count me in - thank you Hawker!!!

You all know your stuff!! Fuel check - Tank to pump outlet - CHECK - Fuel filters to fuel outlet - CHECK - Fuel to injector return lines - CHECK Oil Check - Oil level check Electrical - Batteries connected with correct polarity - CHECK - Instrumentation lights - CHECK - Prime - Check = Start...

Progress so far with a lot of help from my gurus & friends - Tank cleaned out, coated with Caswell plating epoxy folllowing Ray's direction and reinstalled. Cylinders emptied of water, cleaned, engine released Head cleaned and machined remounted with the rockers Injector pump degunked and...

Thanks Ray, I found the PC mark - it was rusted so a little bit difficult to see - see below. The gear was still turning but with significant resistance and pushing the cap in was very difficult. So I put some Chemtool into the fuel intake hole and gently shoke the whole assembly from side...

Also the gear on the pump is rotating but you need some amount of pressure to move it - is this normal? Not sure what you meant by "freely". Trying to avoid opening the IP if possible...

Thanks Ray, Worked on this last night. The code inside the bellhousing is "B" - is that correct or should I continue rotating looking for "PC". From the TM they are not clear about this but they have a Table 7.1 with different letters...

Hi Ray, The IP has been sitting in acetone now for over a week. Anything else you would suggest I do before mounting it back on? Des

Thank you Guyfang. Any additional tips Ray?

Starting reassembly this week. Any tips from my Guru's are welcome

So I took the heads to the shop to get it cleaned and machined. Just collected them

Thank - I did not know that. Not to worry - I have already bought it for 149 each

Hi Guyfang! Thanks for the tip. I have checked the following manuals but did not see what you are referring to - did I miss something or is there another TM that I have missed? TM-5-6115-585-34 TM-5-6115-585-12

Thanks for the tip Ray. I did notice that it took over a day for the MMO and Blaster mix to drain even after cleaning out the rust in the cylinder. It definite held the fluid without any appreciable loss in 10 miniutes. I will redo it with diesel just in case the viscosity is significantly...

Hi Ray, Yes it was rusted but honing it made it smooth to touch and the pistons move freely with little effort when you rotate the flywheel. The pictures show some discoloration. How do I check for stuck piston rings?

Yes, I think if i can put it all back together it will work. I will need continued guidance from you guys. Thanks for the tip about the kit - Wish I had known earlier - I had bought some of them individually already but I will buy this kit as well. Just for your information that kit is now...
