    Do I need a "valve job"

    One more thing, bad valves will usually not cause a oily or bad smell to come off the engine. Another thing to check is the PCV valve. Remove it from the valve cover, it should be heard to rattle, if no rattle, replace.

Get a compression tester, warm the engine to operating temp, remove the spark plugs, disable ignition system so it dont make sparks, throttle wide open, screw comp test hose into the no. 1 spark plug hole and spin over the engine until needle quits climbing on the...

    High Beam?

    And there is a tool for compressing the lockplate spring to get the C ring removed in order to get off the lockplate.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Even after the 50 key cycles, from what I read is after so long, if a resistor is not installed, the pump will fail to function after a while, so, there must be a relearn process in there somewhere, I switched Mine to a no. 5 after removing a no. 9 and have not had a problem.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    The pump can be forced into relearn mode, KOEO, accel pedal to the floor for 45 seconds and engine temp over 170 or 175 degrees, I dont remember, then, key off for 30 seconds, then, start the engine, engine will run very rough and even to the point of dying, it is relearning timing too, restart...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    HA, I`ll have to take a look in the connector. I do have a spare no.9 in the tool box, I run a no.5 in My grey box Stanadyne that's mounted to the heat sink, behind the bumper.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Picked up one of these for the K3500 6.5. The guy that sold it to me said He thought His injection pump had failed, turmed out it was the PMD black box so he has had this pump unopened setting on His shelf for a few years. Dont know if it was a real good deal or now, but, just could not pass it...

    Motor ground gets hot

    You must be careful when using the Lucas brand, depending on if it is made for the UK wiring or the US wiring, the UK smoke will place the smoke on the wrong side of the wire and cause the blinkers to unblink unless UK blinker fluid is added.

    Motor ground gets hot

    Is the battery ground hooked to the frame or is it hooked to the engine ? I always hook the ground to the engine then, take another grounding wire of the same size and run it to the frame, then, take another wire of the same size and hook it to the body from the frame ground. That way everybody...

    6.2 diesel hp

    The Cummins would take a LOT of chopping and hacking to get enough room for that tall long block. Not so much with the 6.2.

    6.2 diesel hp

    You wont achieve high numbers from a 6.2, its just not in the web design of the blocks main bearing areas and the cranking shafts to be able to do that. There is a lot of things You can do to achieve a higher number of horses though, like, a block web girdle to help hold things together and then...

    Yeeeeouch. I hope You can get it all sorted out and back together. I have used that Hobart aluminum stick welding rod and the OXY/ACETelyne torch to repair aluminum components, it will also work with a butane torch to, like the bernzomatic. There too is other aluminum stick on the market that...

    Lotos MIG 140 Welder

    I`m wondering if that welder unit was built by Hobart ? Looks mighty similar to the 110V Hobart 135 that I have in the garage. Having the capability to weld aluminum without having to fire up the torch would be a nice option.
