On the mine site I work at in the bush in Mali we have to have lighting plants and generators for power. We have to make our own power here. We are off the grid. We just use a 140 amp alternator to light a site with the drill Rig. That is all you really need at most. If you are running led like...
I have a 400watt 12volt amp amplifier for my stereo in my truck so I need the extra power on the 12 volt side. If I was running a basic stereo, I would just short cut it buy running a 24 volt to 12 volt 30amp converter to the third battery. That would be all that would be need it most cases of...
I want a smaller setup and if you do the amp /voltage conversion 24 at a 100 amp is 200 amps at 12 volts. Really 100 amps 24 is big power. Then there is the 12 volt side at 40 amps. But what most people don't account for is if you have three optima's battery hooked together 2 for the 24 volt...
Just an FYI on my last post. The results of my test don't mean you can just turn up the fuel!! You will exceed the max pressure that the injectors can withstand and you will send guts from an injector through your engine!! Not good!
When I installed the LDS rocker arm it had me a bit concerned when I rolled the engine over. The rocker compressed the intake valve all the way down. The valve spring was almost fully collapsed!! I did a test run with the only the rockers install in a ldt configuration and I went from 1100 egt...
I would like to install a Niehoff 40/100 amp 14/28 volt Alternator in my M35A2. I have tried to searched the forum for the part numbers for the alternator and pulley needed for the modification. I could not find the information.
If anyone could help, it would be most appreciated.
Thank you!
That is a very good point!! That would cause the issue that he is having. The cylinder expanding larger than the spec required. It could also be that the ring groove are cut to deep in the number 2 piston. But I think you may be on to something there.
No it would not. The newer materials would have a greater tension when at temperature with the combining influence of the piston exaptation and the rings staying nominal. So what I am saying is the piston closes the gap the rings stay the same and that the piston adds tension.
I have a funny story about that. My old boss years ago told me he had one **** of a time putting liners in a ldt. He pressed them in. He was the head of maintenance for three continents and I asked did you read the manual, he said no. I then told him there are two liners available for that...
one compression one intermediate and a oil ring. three. They run all day long on site get about 2.6 mile to the gallon if they were going down the road fully loaded. I have pistons the size of old big coffee cans here from the engines with two compression ring. The ldt and lds are not a race car...
The newer industrial diesels I have seen lately like a C15 does't have a long skirt and have two compression rings and make 600 hp with 30 psi boost. Like you had said, the newer martials used make a difference. The thermal dynamics of the new alloys keep the pistons and rings tight in the bore...
I took the easy way out and sourced a reman injection pump. I thought about converting my pump. The cost of the parts needed, tools and the time, justified for me buying the LDS injection pump. It was about 1000 bucks at the end of the day, but I have a pump that is built correctly. I know it's...
I have seen plenty bad new parts over the years working on and testing diesel. I have had brand new cats, Cummings and detroits blow up on the test stand for one reason or another. I would put a new piston kit in hole #2.
I am running the same piston kit in a lds configuration and no issues so...
