This is what I would like to have verified. There is no CC pressure out the breather when running with the tank as a load. I have not put a manometer on it, but I can tell there is nothing major. In my past experience, valve guides with excessive clearance tend to suck oil down them on decel...

No CC pressure, the vent is open. Never been inside one of these, done a quite a bit of reading. I want to see inside or see parts so I have an idea of what is inside that keeps the oil from sucking down the guides while running. I think this feature is malfunctioning and causing the issue it is...

We have a nice Sherman at the Museum. It has a single issue, it smokes like a freight train at first start, oil smoke. The compression is OK, leakdown is nothing. After running maybe 15 mins under a load of just the weight of itself, the smoke will clear and there is no smoke on acel or decel...

You shouldn't fill the engine mounted filter. The pieces parts you can't see will f the pump up, class fit parts do not like unfiltered diesel gas. Easiest way is to put pressure in the tank, but that doesn't need to be done. Just pump the primer bulb 'till it gets firm. You will hear the...

Are there any truck shops near you, like Peterbilt, KW, Mack, etc? They will know where to take the pump for repair.

Call memphis with the ven, they could still have records on it.

Memphis Equipment used to make trucks like that...guess they still do!

Depends on which method you used, inner base, or outer base. Inner base, adjusting A-I3, V5 - B-I6, V3...etc or outer base, adjusting A-1 V&I , B- 5 V&I...etc. If you did 6 in lb on the inner base method, you are good UNLESS the inj springs were weak and the 6 in lb pushed the plunger too deep...

You might want to verify the o/c repair. Drain the oil, let it drip for a few hours, remove the drain pan and replace with some cardboard, leave the drain plug out. Put pressure on the cooling system and walk away, have a beer or your fav bev and come back in a hour. See if there is water on...

That works too, just don't load it too much, diesel doesn't lubricate things very well.

The above is correct about the oil needing to be above the boiling point of water. Water will also ruin bearings, coolant or water will displace the oil film and cause rust on the journals of the crank, cam, rocker shafts, cam follower shafts, etc. Take the valve covers off and clean the goo off...

You can unload the compressor by removing the discharge line and put shop air to the unloader, just an FYI, early diesel rngines will not turn combustion gas leak fluid green or yellow, i think it has to do with the timing differences in mechanical v.s. electronic engines. To the op, if...

The drive coupling can be difficult sometimes. I don' t know what your mechanical abilities are. The governor plunger rides on the main shaft, that is sorta important.

It is fuel. The pressure is minimal, the pt system isn't making pressure yet, only flow. The seals/mainshaft are shot. Yes, check the oil.

1st, you should see if there is a leak you can't hear. Pressurise the system with the engine not running and see if it leaks. if no leaks, next put air into the system through the discharge line and see if it airs fast, if not, you could have an obstruction. Does the truck have an air dryer? if...

P pump is much better than the MW. Even in stock form the MW gave users fits with smoke issues, mainly in school bus applications. It is a dealio to change up to a P from an MW.

Late 1990. There were some external dampened, aftercooled, fixed time engines made, not too many though. 1991 was the start of the CELECT system and there was a step time control version up to 1994. After that, all electric.

Just changing injectors won't give you more power. You need to increase the metered fuel rate.

Man, I hope you don't talk like you type! The L10 is an ok engine IF you get the later, external damper engine. the early internal damper engines had cam, block, head issues. They are shorter, depending what it came out of, the flywheel hsg could work. You will need to make mounts. STAY AWAY...
