Don't missunderstand. This not general road traffic licensing regulation. You can do tuning and other changes on your car by control of technical approval but this above is just only if you want the status as historical vehical. This means original condition or tuning what was at that time...
I got reply from our Vehicle History Approval - I want going this way, so see under this list - non Turbo Engine is required and at least the engine must also 30 years old: or it is the same design form same manufactors of that time:
Conversions and additions to classic cars are only possible...
I will take a look on our pump
Changing is not really tough if you do it on the correct way.
We take a lot of bad Trucks and cars from the road with technical defects and it make sense to control this.
Specially about our hobbiest tuning scene here.
With a mercedes or audi/vw no problem in...
I was not aware of the overheating problem. So far I haven't been to a forum or need any other information about the truck. Before it was put into storage, it ran like clockwork despite the now obvious damage. Never had a failure of overheating also not with trailer - but the Chevy is in germany...
I definitely want to avoid the heat problem .... so i go the route of 6500 optimizer
I have a secret idea where this overheating could have happened: every emissioncontrol was very difficult. Usually the engine run a long time on the test stand to got a value. That means almost always up to the...
Bad oder good news - depending on which side you look at it
Yesterday, despite the weekend, I got a call back from the senior boss of the motor specialty shop: he advises not to work on the block after having talk with his son and viewing the engine. To bad condition, to high the risk on...
Good idea - i have a lot of pistons, connectings rods, camshaft, valves of all my years in repairs....also 5,7l gasoline V8 Pistons but no V8 Diesel piston. Will be my first. What i also not have is a defect engine block to make a nice table of it with a glassplate.... engine will be gone throw...
All cylinders was to much honed exactly on the same, like someone used wrong terms. I can't translate exactly where you can see this beside measurement .... this engine become more and more a surpriseparcel. It is nothing what come of use as it is to much... At least the piston is to small and...
As it is a certified professional company, we have 1 year if the job is completely taken by the professionals, including a test run, and of course if it is used properly. Another reason for give this job to a specialist -> Spare Parts about 3000 Euro .... so I'd rather pass the risk on to the...
Today we received a decision from the specialist. The engine is completely possibel to rebuilt. It is still possible because the substance is good enough. But it can be seen that the repair was not carried out well. We will probably never know what happened.
Except for the crankshaft, camshaft...
Found this on the TMs
TM 9-2815-237-34
2 - 1 6 . CYLINDER BLOCK REPAIR (Cont‘d)
2. Installation of cylinder sleeves.
CAUTION Do not use cylinder sleeves to repair a cracked engine block. NOTE Cylinders that still show damage or wear after being honed to a maximum oversize of 0.030 in. (0.762...
That was also my first thought, but in 1989 the truck was still in Army service... so it must be done there. Just three years in Service. I guess less milage and than it make sense to do this.
If the block is the same as the 6.5, the oversized dimension shouldn't be an issue. I do not expect...
As I said in an accident with high levels of personal injury would be controlled but this is unlikely to happen in such a vehicle. Regardless of whether there is damage or not, from a purely legal point of view, I have to have the engine change to the newer 6.5l engine displayed and verified...
:unsure: Really - i am not so sure of this as Manufactures Oversizes end on this. And there are sockets availaible.
What is the advantage of further drilling or using sockets?
I am not the engine specialist, they will tell me what to do at least.
I do not need more bore or more HP. I just want...
any piston have also this verification and measurement of the bores said the same
it was already clear to me that a repair would take place here at some point. But I found no evidence, except the measurement, until my wife saw this painted sign. In mechanical engineering (my job) it is common...
There was only one left for removing the crank and camshaft. All bearings were in order but if we have already gone that far, the engine should be thoroughly cleaned and that is just bare
And my shopping list is getting longer and longer - because all or nothing is the motto now.
I was close...
Update:
Engine is now checked and at least found damage on two Conrod bearing shells on 7/8 conrod.
Although we did everything we can to ensure the oil flow and oil film everywhere at the start after a long downtime, this was unfortunately not the case.
Fortunately, the damage is limited to...
