I do, too.... being that everything else of the brake system is covered in great detail(!)
Exception: this old TM 9-2320-211-35 (pub.1964, last change C5 in 1978 ) shows this parts diagram and repair procedures (pages 248 & 249).
No mention of any check valve and/or spacer, though....
Too bad you didn't get the new-style gaskets from Seco...
I don't think that the dowels are the culprit.
If I had no other choice as to use the early OEM gaskets, I would at least anneal the rings (450-500°C = barely red) to get them nice and ductile.
Also make sure that the torque wrench is...
Military or civy doesn't matter: only the very early 6.2s had the (coarse) M24x2.0 threaded injectors. From 1983 on, all 6.2L engines have injectors with the M24x1.5 (fine) thread.
No worries....
1) The T-case's (static) oil level is way below that point.
2) Everything that keeps the oil inside the TC (while in motion), is still there.
Take a look at this diagram:
Parts 7 & 8, as well as most of the adapter itself are still in place.
There is a small oil seal fitted...
Careful what you buy: besides replacing the cable, what you also need is a new "speedometer drive adapter" for the TC. (TM9-2320-361-34P, Fig. 326)
What Eastern is showing in the pictures is actually the tachometer drive, which mounts on the front of the engine. Two different things....
Even...
Absolutely, yes.......!
Anyone trying to re-invent the wheel by using alternative substances for said purpose should at least read "Point 2 - Prior Art" in the attached PDF-file...
Safety first! You sure had a large pan placed underneath your tank, to catch up to 80 gallons of diesel right...?
You were very lucky: normally, fuel tanks are pressure tested at 5psi maximum. 100 psi is more than enough to cause any fuel tank to permanently deform and most likely, crack open...
Almost....
If the frame LOA - WITH rear bumperettes attached - actually measures 264.8" and the bumper length is 11.02", then the frame rails should be 253.78" (6.45m).
As a side note: the M44 series frame rail height is 8 inches, not 9.
Yes. The entire gearbox (with clutch bell housing attached) comes out after just unbolting the jackshaft from the transmission output flange.
Of course, if you remove that shaft entirely it will be even easier.
