I Need help finding parts for my MEP-005

[Alaskakopp]

Hello All, I can't find anyone in my area that can get me basic parts for a MEP-005. I'm just looking for basic things like gaskets, filters etc. The parts houses can't convert the TM's part numbers or NSNs to anything they can get. I've tried places online and the ones that seem to know what I'm talking about are all military contract distributors and don't sell retail. Any help with a contact would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks, Robby Kopp, Power Pro Guy, USAF Retired

Google the nsn, if partstarget comes up they have end item and all part numbers sometimes

For gaskets and parts (non-consumable) Jerry Birio (I think I spelled that right EDIT: no I didn't: Jerry Biro at Hercano Propulsion in OH) is who I go to. Both MEP-004 and MEP-005 are Hercules engines (4 and 6 cylinder) and Jerry has everything you need (and perhaps more!)

For filters, the same filters as on a MEP-004 work, I'm about 95% sure the numbers are in the history, but I can look them up if not. All are available from CarQuest (where I get my parts) and IIRC NAPA has them too.

Napa Oil filter 1004
Napa Fuel filter 3540

Fram filters come with the correct gasket and I think they fit better. I also used Napa and have not had any problems with them.
