Yeah, that might be next. The compression tester adaptor I borrowed is frozen so I can't adjust to to fit the motor. If it's just a wristpin I could theoritically drop a slug in it but all I have found is LDS liner kits not LDT.
I wonder if I should disconnect the inj line completly from the # 4 cyl and see if any fuel is coming out ?? I might have a blown inj tip. I think a compression test is in order for #4 and #5 as well. If the inj blew apart I may not see fuel spurting out as it's running as there would be no pop...
Ok, Update...Being me I can't just crucify it without an autopsy...
What I have found so far.
Assuming the cylinder for from front to back 1,2,3,4,5,6 ....#4 the back head front most cyl has no fuel coming out of the inj line when I loosen it. All the rest do. Cyl# is approx where I hear all the...
Does anyone know where you can get rebuilt kits/parts ? I could not find anything last night online. I would not be opposed to an inframe if the block and heads look good. Atleast I know what I got.
I found one in a junkyard about 3 hrs away for 700$. I have to talk to the guy about a warranty. My biggest fear is buying a used motor I can't hear, then finding out it's junk and losing more money. I have no issue with a re power but I can't afford a new crate motor so used is the only way I...
Lol...That is the story of my life...(Something we have never seen before). It is never simple for me.
I have alot of thinking to do about what to do. It is a nice clean truck. I may try and sell it for what I am into it for or I may fix it. And then if I decide to fix it, what route...
I suppose these motors are not worth doing an inframe right ? I was gonna maybe drop the pan tommorow and see if I can get an idea of the carnage. It did not sound good but if the crank is ok maybe I could drop a slug in it.
Was toying with a 6bt/545 conversion.
The tranny in this thing is not overly impressive, I wonder if a 6bt with an NV4500 would work ??
It is a clean truck.
well.....Thanks to everyone especially Warthog and Floridisian for offer me parts. I was able to realign the existing fuel control assmbly and got it started. That was the problem with the runaway/no start however the damage to the engine is done.
It was missing and knocking very badly. Had...
I forgot to mention one thing..The T pin CAN fall out in the IP. I was very lucky and fished it out with small telescoping magnet that fit through the fuel control rod hole.
It's probably hard to read here on the forum but I blew it up.
It is HD 90100A
The last number almost looks like an 8 but I blew it up and it is a zero.
