Rick - you say you SPRAY that stuff? Would you care to be more pacific? The Amazon ad is for a brush product.
Say, I really like that chrome-plated funnel on the table behind them those jugs.
I haven't progressed that far yet with Bullet. However their 6.5 unit is not something they "just came out with". They currently have many units running on 6.5's, so evidently they have addressed the matter. I will re-post here when I have answers.
I have already measured things out for my M1028 CUCV truck. No problems there. The top of the blower is no higher than the top of the air cleaner.
Regarding one of these in a HMMWV, I found an article on the subject which seems to indicate that it would fit with no problem -...
Ahem, my rebuilder IS Bowtie. Chris Gardner is, in my opinion, one of the most knowledgable in the business on transmissions. I purchased a Level 2 K-case from him a couple years ago and bolted it behind my new P400, which is still sitting on my engine stand awaiting to be installed into my...
This is the best stuff I have ever used. On all my parts, I usually media-blast them in my cabinet and then immediately spray them down with this product. The liquid runs into every nook and cranny. I wipe off the excess and allow them to thoroughly dry and then spray prime them with red...
Bowtie's 765R4 is the ultimate transmission, no doubt. It has a base price of $3700. Their Level 3 700R4 is almost as strong at $1950 and should provide ample strength for a HMMWV 6.5. Just saying.
Thanks for the reply. Just so you will know, and for the benefit of all SS members who may happen to read this, the Bostic engine is not a NEW GM engine but instead is a remanufactured unit. I hope you enjoy good service from your engine, as there have been others who have not. Maybe some of...
Thanks for the update.
For the benefit of all SS members, it will be helpful to provide information on your new 6.5 Optimizer NAVISTAR engine. Where did you purchase it, the price, warranty, what was included (long block only?), shipping costs, etc.
Please remember that the main intent of...
Thank you. For an update - For the past couple years I have been on-again, off-again with work on my M1028 due to health issues. My health has now much improved and I was almost ready to install the new P400 / 700R4 / NP241 drivetrain, but then I kinda got the hots for a supercharger. It...
Another possibility (or a contributing factor to the leak) is a stuck CDR valve and/or stopped-up oil fill cap. The purpose of the CDR valve/vented oil fill cap is to allow for engine vacuum to draw the crankcase gases out and vent the entire engine crankcase with fresh air drawn in through the...
My suggestion is to first answer the question, will the project dictate the budget, or will the budget dictate the project? Stop for a moment and think about this. To simply "throw the new engine in" will be the fastest and most economical route, while a "complete rebuild with a turbo" will...
You can buy a new Wilson 27Si from NAPA, Wilson #90-01-4277. I bought 2 of ‘em for my P400 engine build. They are not rebuilt units, but new through and through.
I believe the reason anaerobic sealant was/is used is to make it easy to get the water pump off when it’s time to replace it. I can’t think of any other reason. I believe there’s nothing wrong with using a gasket. Heck you could use RightStuff if you wanted, but you would have a hail of a time...
