I'll be retired before you finish this! 67 days man, hurry up.....

I've seen that alot on the earlier engines with the bottle stopper type of dipstick even w/o high cc pressure. What I have found to fix it is to buy 2 of the barrel grommets for the dipstick. Install 1 whole one and use a razor blade to half the other grommet, put that on the lower half of the...

If I remember, pedal pressure is also read. Driving you would see the brake line pressure when you apply them and for parking you depress the pedal and then flip the lever. The applied pressure stays in the line after you release the pedal and to release, just flip the lever the other way

The cracks between the liners are naked eye visible when they happen. You can wipe the block off good, spray rust penetrant on the deck, let it sit a bit, wipe and use the ball end of a ball peen and lightly tap the block if the liners are out and the crack will either appear or "spit" the...

Oh yeah, be easy on starting fluid, it likes to soften the carbon in the ring land area and will cause the compression rings to stick after the carbon gets hard again. The result is no compression and the fix is a re-ring

In the "conversations", you stated that the fuel pressure is "fine". What does "fine" equate to in a measurement? That is an important measurement. Start with basics, Check the timing, if that's gtg, make sure the fuel shut off that was removed is being pulled up to the proper distance, if too...

Older C series engines were prone to cracking in a few places, injector bore to valve, between valves, spring seat area and between the liners. If you get a newer casting head as a replacement, the head cracking issues will be no more. Look between the liners for cracks. If there are cracks...

I second the oil temp. Brake pressure is a good thing too, my Dad had an old GMC that had a brake pressure gauge.

Post 71, Don't know if he noticed, but he took very good pics of the failure. 5 and 6 cylinder exhaust seats dropped. When they drop, they break up into little squares/rectangles. The pieces will migrate back into the intake and get into other cylinders and the air compressor, remember, it...

Just enough to take the squared off edge and split it on the same end, the radius allows it to slip into the tappet easier and the split you make allows the dowel to be pushed into the pushrod area of the tappet, it is a shade under .500. You need to pull the fuel pump gear, time the engine and...

Cam is easy. Go to the local hardware store, get 12, 1/2 in od pine dowels. radius one end and then use a hacksaw to make a split in-line with the dowel. Forgot, you also need rubber bands. remove the push rods, drop the dowels into the pushrod hole split/radius end first, use a bit of force to...

^^ No, don't do that. That screen is not a filter like one would think, it is there for one reason, ONLY to catch pieces parts from a pump failure from getting into the injectors and taking them out too/ It is not something that needs service on regular intervals. If there is debris in it, there...

I have seen an ENGINE run backwards. When was the last time you saw your engine run, forward, backward, at all?? :shrugs: Just poking you with a stick!!

It came out of an International......I would stay away from low flow cooling. Not just a simple matter of changing radiators. LFC engines were notorious for being chronic overheaters.

Just something to throw out there, I don't think a standard air ride seat will fit in the cab and give you a comfortable position to drive it, especially if you are 6' tall or a larger guy. 2.5 and 5 ton trucks had air seats, you should check to see if Eastern has one they could install from a FMV.

4L3785 still looks good! I miss that truck. Good to see that it is still making trips to the dirt. It worked very well.

Ok, so far this is what I have found...3908750 is the piston the above esn starts out with. it does supersede a few times and there is a service bulletin regarding the changes...it is nla on QSOL, but I most likely have it in print from back in the day. All other numbers except 3929161 are...

post an engine serial number and I will post that info.
