My first multifuel?

[foxtrot]

Thanks for the advice.
It's accessible.
I'm going to find out about soldering.

 

[foxtrot]

photo of the day,
the radiator wouldn't come out of the engine compartment.
The reason was a ground braid.

 

[NDT]

Oh I like that machine you have there, like a Swiss Army knife. We don’t have anything like that in the US.

 

[foxtrot]

I restored it a few months ago.
There is armor for this multipurpose deployment aid.
The craft is airborne.
He has a trailer with all the tools on it, sandbag machine, forks, auger etc...

 

[dmetalmiki]

Following you progress with much interest...I think you must just replace that head with another used good one.
Man you are really getting stuck into that project.
I was just wondering why the squirrels could not have 'polished' those turbo vanes Whils't laying in there doing nuthin!..

 

[foxtrot]

I always assume that there is a solution to everything.
The moment I dreaded the most.
The engine is unlocked and the piston and output, Alléluia!

 

[foxtrot]

I just noted the registration number, can we get some information?

For sure 1964. For sure M543A2. Maybe USA number of 5D6804 (interpolated) Data snip from Carnac's Historical Thread.

EDIT: I didn't look closely enough at the database earlier.

 

[foxtrot]

Thank you for letting me know about these lists, I went through them for the first time.

 

[foxtrot]

The piston is reassembled as well as the oil sump.
I checked the cylinder head by penetrant testing, the crack caused by the frost is more important and is no longer accessible for welding.
What precautions to take when buying a new cylinder head part number 11641633 are they interchangeable, front and rear?

Washers for oil filters in recycled leather.

 

[NDT]

The heads are interchangeable. If you buy a used one, have it checked for flatness.

 

[dmetalmiki]

There you go..The right way...this is getting interesting....

 

[foxtrot]

 

[dmetalmiki]

Nice..Good progress..And a 'screaming' turbo

 

[foxtrot]

- What engine oil, what grade do you recommend?
Seemingly simple question but I can't find an answer.


Green wire on the stainless steel plate, black wire (-) on the part.
I use electrolysis to derust fuel filter housings.

I attached the lube order for your truck. According to page 2, the multifuel takes OE/HDO 30, which I think is 30 wt. Others can probably give you better guidance.

The topic of which oil to use in multi fuel engines has been widely discussed and debated. Seems that if you ask ten people, you will receive ten different opinions. Here is a link to one discussion thread:

Engine oil type

Hello, What type of Engine oil is the best for the M35a2 with Multifuel engine LD4651 ? Cato

www.steelsoldiers.com

Personally, I use Shell Rotella 15W40. YMMV.

 

[SCSG-G4]

15W40 diesel rated motor oil, no matter what brand will be best for these engines. Ask around the heavy truck shops near you for what brands are available, or that they prefer. Interesting side note - an Exxon refinery had a fire and was shut down, now Shell Rotella is in short supply - who was actually making it?

It probably all comes from one big drum. Labels are cheap.

Same with shampoo and conditioner and all the other things that are packaged in plastic bottles. Had a friend of mine who worked for a company called WePak here in the big city... 55 gallon drums into 16 ounce bottles is their business. You can buy the $10 bottle or the $1 bottle and the only difference is the label on the bottle. I would imagine oil is the same.

Gas out of the big tank farm here in Paw Creek gets their supply from the Colonial Pipeline. Tanks for all the major named suppliers get it the same way and you have to decide if there is any difference. Who knows, maybe there are additives that are mixed into their inbound supply lines?
