AS NOTED.. JUST THOUGHT TO POST HERE. MY 803A RADIATOR HAS A LEAK PLUS ITS' NOT LOOKING LIKE ONE WITH NO ISSUES LOL .. - IF I CAN'T GET IT FIXED FOR REASONABLE $$ .. WILL BE IN NEED OF A radiator..

THATS WHAT I THOUGHT YOU WOULD SAY.. :recovry4x4: WHAT FLAVOR / TYPE / OF CAGE NUT DID THEY START USING?? SLIP NUT?? OR CAGE NUT THATS "CLICKS" HAS TABS TO INSERT IN SCREW HOLE?? PICTURE WOULD BE SWEET..

So what is your ending vote / option on: rivnut / cage - slip nut ??

What is all this talk ( diff threads - varies forums ) of people not liking rivnuts.. I hear you - i was going to use rivnuts thinking about all this 3 months ago.. Fast forward - my unit is already apart with front section zip tied together. Could use the rivnuts in the 4 corners - figure...

Cage nut question.. Any idea what flavor of cage nut they started using on the mep-803..??? Not sure i like the rivnut route - thou i haven't started yet.

Wanted blueprint or drafting type measurements for the mounting holes etc for engine / stator.. Yea i can take measurements.. Just wanted a drawing

As noted: Mep-803a skid base blueprint/fabrication notes/measurements...... Trying to find document/manual/whatever you wish to call it on the skid base its self. 30554-88-22010 as per parts manual brings up nothing. Any input is welcome.. Thanks in advance

I confess I wanted to open up a metering pump just because. Now I know what the so called plunger is I hope/think. It's nice to know what one is "attempting" to clean up / unstick etc. Anyway - much cleaner now. Only problem is getting it back together. Anyone with some helpful info...

Well look what I found. I knew I had a pin spinner somewhere - I would have destroyed the threaded nipple without a pin wrench. Took a hammer and a lot blows to get the dam thing off.

side note: I know a pin spinner wrench would be sweet right now.. One reason for waiting to make a small CNC plasma table so I can make custom fine tuned tools... A long side giant wind spinners with sealed bearings and gears :clinto:

Now I know why you may have stated while pumps in gen. I had one pump still out and not many options on holding pump while trying to get top threaded fuel port off. Letting bead blaster soak on threads and bolting back in hold down fork. Also started soaking threads on other on still in gen...

how about taking one off at a time and do them that way / maybe a lot easier. Exactly whats involve in taking top part off... A few nuts and a retaining ring / cover and thats it

I had a pump out and was looking into the hole at the rack fork. Manually moving the lever did nothing.. I then took off the front cover of my LPW4 which is on test stand and runs.. Manually moving the sol lever moved the fuel fork back and forth - I then smiled and now know how they should...

Maybe so.. But also have just been wondering about it in relation to the mep's and the rain flapper cover / etc.. A new 802 to me i cranked it over several times then stopped. One day later cranked it once then realized what may be in upper cylinders.. Took injectors out / valve cover off /...

General question on hydrolock and attempting to start a mep (for example) ** not knowing u may have hydrolock and attempting to start a mep a few times - then realizing what may be going on... Is there a usual first thing to take a hit?? Then a 2nd item?? Like the weakest link ... Then next...
