T6 in the CJ-4 variant has adequate levels of extreme pressure anti-wear agents for flat tappet engines. Remember, the 002A engine is stroking the injection pump 1800 times a minute. It takes about 200 pounds of force from that cam to generate the 2000 PSI at the injector. Far more load than...

Spark ignition (SM) oils. This is a diesel discussion. At least one manufacturer of diesel engines has had issues with CJ/CJ4/CJ+ oils with respect to tappet wear. Now the MEP-002/003 series are probably safer when run properly (no idle) since it is the reciprocity failure in the PV...

I would stick with conventional oils which have sufficient ZDDP as these are flat tappet (not roller) cam engines. And the injection pump is also cam actuated, once per revolution. As synthetics are CJ+ and later (C is for compression engines, the second letter is the revision in API) and...

NAPA may catalog the filters but not every store carries them. I'm sticking with stock filters all around since I will keep fresh, clean fuel in my generator. About the only issue with stock filters are the cork gaskets on top and bottom which can decompose. Change every five years, even if...

Using o-rings instead of flat ring gaskets positively ends oil leaks. The joint is fully confined, meaning the canister forms a tenon while the gasket/o-ring is in a groove. Such a joint is perfectly suited to an o-ring but will cause issues with flat/square profile gaskets. To the DoD, it is...

The fuel filters are not spin-on. The filters remove by removing the center bolt on the top, the one with the small bleeder bolt on top. Look at the bracket the filters are mounted to, look down and see the bolts. The strainer (first of 3 fuel filter canisters ) attaches from the bottom...

The MEP-002/3As remote fuel is done from the labeled fuel pump on the right side. Also on the right side of the frame there is a hole in the gusset where the drum bung adapter is stored. There should be two lifting eyes bolted to this gusset on the 002, they are only stored there. The smaller...
