The head gaskets do not seal on the deck. They only seal at the liner, the thin bead around it, BE CAREFUL when cleaning the block so you do not remove/knick the fire ring....and at the coolant grommets...the little white rings that are stuck to the deck, and the oil passage rubbers. See those...

No need to purge the air from the fuel system, the PT pump will pick up fuel and bleed itself. It is a bit tougher to do on a truck that still uses cartridge filters.

Bell housing or flywheel housing? Bell is on the trans and the flywheel is on the engine. If it is failing the flywheel housing starting at the mount bolts and cracking outward, the flywheel hsg is not aligned to the engine. When you replaced the first one that cracked, did you dial it in using...

Perfect! Glad you got it worked out. :driver:

Rusty, I don't think its in the exh, look at the vid of the tailpipe, sounds smooth. The vid of it looking from the drivers front sounds like a popping noise going on, could just be the funky sounds videos pick up or add to things.

How are you going to add a turbo speed sensor?

Here's my 2cents worth. In the videos, it almost sounds like it is popping, maybe in the intake, the exhaust sounds smooth. Pull the elbow from the turbo and have a listen. It still has the flame heater, could possibly have a leaking flame heater nozzle/solenoid. Try simple things first before...

Use an orbital sander with fine wet/dry paper and go slow. The markings will pop out.

Use a propane torch to lightly heat the pistons instead of freezing the pin, water from condensation can attack the upper wrist pin bushing, BC rods work well in SC engines, they have a much smaller failure rate and with the oil hole moved off center, better oiling. Trouble shoot it first.....

Unknown on the bearing size, but if/when you drop the pan, look on the #1 rod counterweight. IF it is not torn apart, do like you said and drop the pan, use a cooling system pressurizing tool and put 15 or so PSI on it and watch where the drips come from

I read thru this, saw no troubleshooting. A freeze plug in the top of the head will but coolant in the oil, a fast easy fix. If it is apart, well, guess you better check things over very carefully or you Will be doing something over again. How far torn down is it?

We don't keep batteries in vehicles, so when we start anything, except mules, it always has someone in the seat, brakes applied and we announce we are going to fire and wait for replies. We are small, but very safe. All that are there are friends, it would suck to loose a friend just because...

We need to get this ready for a holiday event or Vets coming up next weekend. It hadn't been lit off in a few years. Dumped fuel in it, checked the brakes, no fluid in the MC but clean, no rust. Put a battery in it, cranked it and it fired right up! Didn't run so well though, the last time I...

Last update fro a bit until we address the other issue. Attempted to remove the drilled broken bolts, found that they were helicoiled previously. The bolt wouldn't come out, so I drilled incrementally to the correct size for tapping, was going to run a tap thru the hole and push what was left of...

I like cake!

Your ISL will make heat quickly.....IF you ever get it in!

I remember a time when a position like that wasn't necessary. But I guess as clueless people and people that shouldn't be in a position enter the workforce and management that has never done the job that they are supposedly managing, "manage" and tell un qualified people to do things they...

M35a2, 215 would be a good temp for a light to come on at, the older engines don't like 220 for very long, material from the piston likes to stick to the liner much higher than that. Ajax, yup, the 809 and 900 series with the 855 use the same design. It helps with belt adjustments after new...

I have a Q, if you go back to post 6, pic 4, you will see a tube coming from the turbo outlet, routed fwd, around the intake and they terminate at the air boxes. When the engine runs, there is exhaust noise and heat coming out of them at the front of the engine, but no exhaust. Anyone know what...
