Cranetruck,This is a replacement engine out of another truck I had.the oil had ben drained by the DRMO before I got it,so I had no idea of it's condition.I only hear a slight knock in the engine at start up once oil pressure builds it is gone.that and the presence of shavings in the filter led...
Hope I am adding info to the thread and not stealing it.I pulled the pan today found metal in the drain plug,pan was clean.There was some blueing on the crank main and rod journals,is this from hardening or overheating? also a tip, it looks to be easier to remove the pickup tube to pull the...
No presonal experiance with the Mack,but I have also heard they are fuel misers.There is a guy north of me who has a Mack powerd cargo,last I knew he wanted $7500.
I have a 40# pressure pot also.cheapie ($89)from the traveling tool tent sale.(Chuck Homier) It worked well after a little fiddling.The water seperator is very important.I have one at the tank and at the pot.I was amazed at how much moisture got past the first drier.once you get water in the pot...
I pulled a oil filter can off the deuce and there at the bottom was a Metallic black sparkly oil,and a few small slivers of metal.The truck seems to run well with good oil pressure.and I can't hear any knock.any suggestions?
I ended up changing the booster pump,no differance.So I replaced the IP with a spare I had.Runs very well now,i still wonder what was wrong with the one I removed.anyone ever have one rebuilt?
Gotcha, I seem to remember talk of the gauge on your dash,but never knew where it went.very neat idea.I have a engine in can and there apears to be no FDC on it,just a cover with a small hump.
RE: Bearing sets
Hey guy's mind if I jump in? I just swaped out the" antifreeze in oil multi" with an unknown engine I had.Aftre a IP change I found it ran very well.I pulled the filter cans only to find some metal shavings in the bottom of the fliter base.The engine has good oil pressure I...
Ok plunger tested good, about 1/4" or less of movement.with the in tank pump on I got about 8# on top of filter can port ,about 12# when cranking.Could the booster pump on the IP be the trouble?
This engine was in my parts truck ,so I know nothing about it.When I removed the injector line at the pump it would push out fuel,not alot but would fill the threaded port.It did not spray out but you could tell when it hit that port ,it would blurb up. as far as i can tell it has ben out of...
RE: Coolant Leak
Well,here is the scoop.Along with the cracked head I found the same hole"#5" had a crack in the piston.I yanked the engine last night and put in a "spare".Problem solved.
OK, I could use some help.I swaped out the "Antifreeze in oil" Multi. I put the new engine in last night,after a few connections I tried to fire it up. I did purge air at the IP,figured it would fire right up.Not so, I cracked the injector lines thinking there was more air.I was getting fuel...
