    Nhc250 valve injector overhead adjusting

    Just a bit of advice here. DO NOT use a screwdriver that has magnetic changeable bits. The bit will fall out and go down into the pan. The bit in the pan isn't an issue, the issue is that if the tool DOESN'T make it to the pan and gets lodged behind the cam follower lever. That will cause the...

    To Purge or Not to Purge | 855 Cummins

    Oops. If if went into the pan, you are ok. No issues with that, seen all kinds of things there, but, if the bit went between the cam follower and the housing, the assembly the followers are in, THAT is an issue. If you run it like that and the tool is between the two, you will break the box. For...

    " or others listed on the site" I don't see "others listed on the site" like what you have.

    Other non US MVs. It is an "other", a "non US" and it is painted US MV color, correct? Is there a data tag in the truck? Pics or it don't exist :whistle:

    True, but how times does one want to make a stinkin' diesel fuel mess. Once is good for me

    It takes a "special" tool to raise the idle. It is done through the gov. end of the pump

    To Purge or Not to Purge | 855 Cummins

    The injectors on the NHC cannot stick open. They aren't pintle style, and are manually activated/operated by the camshaft. Cummins makes a product that works VERY well. It is normally used pre overhead set to remove carbon from the metering and tip area of the injector plunger so when the...

    DCA4 Additive

    ^^^ THIS. If you over concentrate the sca's you can cause continuing issues with the cooling system, multiple w/p failures, plugged oil cooler, radiator and aftercooler...if it has one, heater core, overheat issues. It makes the inside of the engine a mess. I have seen the block coolant...

    Patience and tenacity will be your friend. Turn the shaft backwards.

    Winch shear pin connnction stuck

    A bit of PB blaster over a few days and love taps on the yoke SHOULD loosen it up unless the shaft holes have elongated and dug into the yoke. If thts the case, again, the PB Blaster and a hammer to try and turn the yoke backwards to align the holes.

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    Those pumps don't spin freely, they are tight. If the impeller is in tact, looks good in the pic, and there is nothing in the weep hole, it is fine. But it is your money. There are two types of Restore. One removes grease/oil/gelling and the other is a de-scaler.

    CPL...Control Parts List. It lists the performance parts, pistons, cam, head, injectors. CPL identification has gone the way of the DoDo, ESN is how everything is tracked now in Cummins parts system, until someone come in with an engine made before 1980 :roll:

    Nope, not on midrange engines until 2006 or 2007.

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    Give me your esn and i'll check if it a two stat build. IIRC, some vehicles with an auto trans had just one stat so there is a positive flow through the lower rad hose and trans cooler with the stat closed. That stat looks wrong and it should have have been in the hole on the left of the pic...

    DH's M817

    Talk about reviving an old thread! Way easier to pull the head and push the piston out than swing an engine. Don't hone the liner, it has a coating called "luberite" on it. If you remove it, the cylinder will burn oil. The cover on the side of the block is referred to as the hand hole. When the...

    Air in the system is purged out by the vent line at the front of the cylinder head and deairiation line from the top of the tanks to the surge tank. The only similarities between the B series and C series are 6 in line cylinders. Two totally different engines.

    That means nada, they are known to be "erroneous". Verify it with a known good one.

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    Overheat is different from cab not getting hot. The leak at the air comp line won't have an effect on the cab heat or over heat issue, it is just an annoyance. The seal there is only a 1/2 in id, 1/2 inch wide rubber sleeve, the nut crushes it against the fitting. Only difficult part is getting...

    1991 BMY M923A2 loses heat when temp gauge hits 200 degrees

    Which issue are you trying to troubleshoot? No/low heat to the cab or the high temp? You need to troubleshoot your issue BEFORE you start throwing parts at it. After reading your posts, the stats don't seem to be the issue...upper radiator hose get hot, that tells me the stat is working...
