    Engine failure, rebuild, with turbo, jakes.

    Upper bearings are the wear point. What do they look like? If you get new bearings, make sure they don't give you the ones for the non stud/nut rods. The oil hole is offset and you will not oil the piston pin. Ya know, you can take the push tubes out and you will be fine. It will be hard putting...

    SAE 2 Clutch help....what am I doing wrong?

    MOST 6B engines never came with a twin disc clutch. They were single disc or autos. Not enough torque/HP to warrant that much clutch.

    SAE 2 Clutch help....what am I doing wrong?

    I don't think it is a case of people NOT wanting to help you, but rather they CAN'T help you. Most parts people don't even know about the different options available. They know that in order to get the correct part for a customers engine, one that is either bought new in a vehicle, used in a...

    Engine swap poll

    My 2cents, A swap to ANY inline will force a gear change. Remember, they turn 2500 RPM or less in stock form. there is usually apx 2-3 mph to every 100 rpm turned, so if the 6.2 turns 3600 RPM and the I 4-6 turns 2500 RPM, there will be a minimum road speed loss of 22 MPH. Your mileage will...

    Long term storage of rubber and plastic parts?

    Silicone spray or oil. The spray is from all kinds of places, CRC, NAPA, etc. Home Depot, and I am sure other hardware stores, sell 4 oz bottles of silicone oil. When I build up wheel cylinders, master cylinders, air packs or anything that has rubber cups, packing, o-rings, for any storage time...

    M1236 Cougar?

    A place I know of, has in their posession, what I believe to be a BAE produced MRAP/Cougar H M1236. 4x4, Cat powered, very dirty. Been sitting there a while. Guess it sorta belongs to a local PD. It was towed there, non runner. I was there and they asked about it. Seems they cannot get the...

    fuel line cracked

    Same engine, C6 8.3, just a newer part that was prone to failure. As said before, about 98% that ALL were the same, turboed, aftercooled, CAC. All the nozzles, mounts and return points were the same. So, if there is a bone yard by you that has a truck or piece of equipment in it that has a C...

    SAE 2 Clutch help....what am I doing wrong?

    You need the make/model of the trans, type of clutch being used, input shaft size, distance of throw out bearing to flywheel, edge of bell housing to forks at depressed and released and do the math to get the proper flywheel. Might be easier to install an Allison MT behind it or find a wrecked...

    fuel line cracked

    Yes, it is different material. The one you have is all metal....don't ask what kind, I just know it is thin and will melt fast. The new style one has the same steel banjos but between them it is a flexible tube. They were prone to cracking hence the part revision

    1942 White M2A1 engine and gearbox colors.

    Clint, I saw some of the gaskets were shrunk up. A tip for those NOS hard, shrunk gaskets is to soak them in really hot tap water or boiled water. It will make them grow to their proper size and be pliable again. They will also seal better because the material compresses again. Looks good!

    fuel line cracked

    Depending on how big the crack is, silver solder might work well. If it is cracked at the line/fitting joint, another option would be to finish the break, put fuel resistant line on it and clamp the hose. IIRC, the return manifold was the same from 1985 when it was introduced to 1998 when it...

    SAE 2 Clutch help....what am I doing wrong?

    Doesn't matter if it is a SOLO or a regular single or double disc. There is a stack up of the FW, clutch and PP. The housing needs to be able to accept that stack up, the clutch forks and lever to be able to release the clutch as needed to fully disengage the clutch. There are a ton of different...

    fuel line cracked

    That is the return from the injectors. Very little fuel is returned through that line, but, it does dump into the line from the lift pump to the filter, so there can be upwards of 35 psi in the line, I have repaired them in the field and the repair held for as long as I knew the rig was on...

    SAE 2 Clutch help....what am I doing wrong?

    Self adjusting, if uncaged will need to be removed and re caged on a press. There are a ton of things to consider when matching things. The flywheel thickness, housing depth, arm length, pedal throw, ratio of the pedal throw. If it were me, i'd ditch the SOLO and go with a normal single plate...
