Multifuel head job

I have a "new deuce". It came with a blown head gasket. I would would be very thankful if anyone knows the torque for the head bolts and the adjustments for the intake and exhaust valves, and the torque for the injector hold downs. I think it is a Continental diesel. It is a multifuel in a kaiser/jeep about a 1982 model. It has a triangle shaped 1989 rebuild tag on the driver seat.

Thanks

Secondarily, the site has a wealth of information already out there. All you have to do is search for it.

Valve adjustment:

Multifuel valve adjustment TM?

OK, I've searched for the TM number for this and come up empty. Can anyone please point me to the correct TM for the procedure? My M35A2C has never been a perky as my other deuces and has a fair amount of discharge from the road draft hose. I'm hoping a valve adjustment will help. The engine...

Head gasket info (these are only a few of the threads out there).

Where to get heads worked over??

Hey all, I've come to the conclusion that I need new head gaskets. The engine is losing power, the heads are leaking oil, and the anti-freeze has turned from green to oily brown. (havent checked for water in the oil yet, but it did make some oil last time I checked, so it wouldn't surprise me.)...

Head Gasket Replacement

Yet another blown head gasket

The truck was blowing oil out the back of the engine. I finally had the time to take it apart and found three places where the gasket was gone, torn or worn. What a surprise. Another surprise was the broken exhaust manifold. I would like to thank all that have posted information on...

LDS-465-1A inframe headgasket job pictures

Well, here we go. Time to get dirty. Head gaskets were slobbering real bad between heads. Probably close to 1/2 gallon a minute. Gonna see if we can't remedy that with a new set of gaskets. I would like to mention the fact that FreightTrain donated the gaskets to the cause. I could not find...

465 head gasket retorques..........

Ok, as many of you know, I just pulled the heads off my multifuel for a leaking freeze plug. I need to know what the general opinion on retorquing the heads is........ My instruction sheet that came with the gaskets said to start at 110 ft. lbs, then 130, then 157, then 157 again. I let them...

Multifuel head gaskets

Hello SS, Forgive me if this subject has been covered before, but It has been over five years since I have had to change the head gaskets on a multifuel. Are the new type gaskets really that much better than the old style with the fire rings? I never had any problems with the old type and the...

Head Bolt torque 130 or 158 lbs on the LDT 465

After replacing my head gaskets i torqued them to 158 ft/lbs because thats what the instructions that came with the gasket said to do. Later i found in a manual for the LDT that the torque is only 130 lbs. I think that maybe the 158 spec is for another engine that uses the same head gasket? so...

Dang, thanks for taking the time to put all those links in one place! I'm still wrestling with mine, trying to pick up some tips on the "hard" nuts now. I have a 7/8ths wrench to bend up to get them back on, but afraid of using it to muscle them off!

The "hard to get to" ones are under torqued. Any 7/8 open or crows foot should get them off.
