I would have to look at mine for a complete answer to building a new one, but the first thing coming to mind is schedule 40 pipe...

got a few short videos to show you guys here in regards to the deuce in the mud. The first one was my deuce being pulled out by a toyota... you read that right, a toyota, after I tried to blaze a new trail in a marshy spot and just sank the front axle in it. The next two are after that area got...

Lately I had been spending a lot of time on the deuce and very little time on my college homework. I had to take a breather for a day or two and get all caught up. Now that I am, I got right back to work, as you can see the engine is complete, and we got her slung up on the gantry crane and...

OK bigbird... I am gonna try and not beat you up too bad as you clearly are a newbie with only two posts, both of which in this thread. First off, check out the new members forum and post up a greeting there. Next before making a post like this one, utilize the search function. It will help you...

This truck was my daily driver, even without power steering, stereo, insulation, mufflers, heater, and freeway speeds I miss driving her all over the place.

Well, I finally got around to it... I rebuilt my turbo. Following WSUCOUGARX's turbo rebuild post, I found the task really is easy as pie. I had a couple issues that I found that concerned me. One was that it was clear that water sat in the turbo for a period of time, I had to do a little extra...

As I look at the engine, then back over to the engine bay, i decided it was time to get my butt in gear and make that engine bay look presentable, so today was all about more cleaning, priming and painting. The engine bay isnt show room quality, but eons better than it was, I sprung the extra...

Did you say you used rubber O-rings for the canister nuts on the filters? If so they are not necessarily designed to be used on surfaces that are twisting together as this action tends to cut them, this is also why you never twist the canisters because you can cut the large O-ring that seals...

I had been tooling around with the idea of videoing the initial fire up and break-in, If I do, I will put it on youtube, then post it here.

Got a little more done, now that I am a full time student in college for diesel technology, I dont have nearly as much time to myself as I used to. Today I got the starter in place, finished plumbing the fuel system on the engine, got the oil filters in place with the canisters "rebuilt" dumped...

If my project gives another person an idea to try out, great! that's what this is all about. So today I got a little progress done, after lots of ill faded attempts with bearing pullers and the "grease" method I said screw it, and pulled out a dremel with a milling bit and carefully made a...

I got this setup as well as their boost gauge setup... The pyro was a walk in the park, I was replacing my turbo and having the exhaust manifold mating surfaces machined at the time so installing pre turbo was a snap. if I remember for basic setup, only 3 wires and you are good to go. The boost...

bolt too short... found a replacement that was longer than the others and the bolt hole was deep enough to accommodate the longer bolt.

Today was a bit of a rough day. I had planned on completely installing and timing the fuel system, rebuilding the turbo, and getting the clutch pilot bearing removed if I had time. I had a couple setbacks to say the least. First I had to pull the fuel pump out of the old engine and get it ready...

That was my thought, as well as I know that particular air pump works as advertised.

Since I never tore the replacement engine down past the block and heads, I cant clearly answer your questions o1951. The replacement engine was a good runner that had sat under a tarp in the Florida rainy season, so a lot of the exterior components were a little on the rough side, but the...

Now that I have gotten in the gasket set, I was able to start putting the freshly cleaned and painted parts back on the engine... starting to look good, however I had one minor issue with the gaskets... they aren't necessarily labeled as to what they are, granted pubs label them by part number...

Here is the web address for the digital pyro I used... Digital EGT Gauge with TC-KEGT Probe [Combo-EGT] - $85.00 : auberins.com, Temperature control solutions for home and industry

There is a couple "reasons" that I know of why people put the pyro probe after the turbo: #1 The thought that a pyro probe will break and get sucked into the turbo causing catastrophic turbo failure. #2 Laziness of not wanting to pull the turbo to prevent drill shavings getting into the turbo...

So today wasnt really productive as far as getting the replacement engine together, however I did satisfy my curiosity of how exactly the onside of the combustion chambers look. I pulled the heads and now have a better understanding of the reasoning behind the injectors having two holes, and the...
