SO I had swapped over the UpGraded Alternator to the new engine
so I have enough power for my A/C. After stuffin' engine in, I noticed
there was literally just under .5" of clearance to adjust belt tension.
What to do? Well looks like were cutting the bracket apart and rewelding
the tabs up an...
Progress...
Yesterday I got the engine stuffed into the hole.
I have done all this work less some coaching alone w/ the exception
of 2 hours of a friend, 45 minutes when pulling old and 1.45 hours
of stuff in anew, pulling off alternator AGAIN and getting turbo outlet
down tube hung. All 4...
The FlyWheel Housing has to be within .008" of true to Center-Line
of the Crank. The existing dowel pins had to be removed to obtain
this. I have learned a new trick? Let's hope so. You can see I have 4
blolts holting it to start. The balance of the bolts will be hit w/ some
Permatex Ultra-Black...
More race ready OCD madness. :cool:
The wiring harness just seemed willy nilly run on the DS of the engine.
It was touching the block all over the place and just run w/o care it
seemed. I went full blown OCD and got some Ceramic non heat conducting
thin washers between the block and my stand...
The Jake Wiring has ALWAYS ticked me off. I think there were NO STRAPS
at all on the old engine and things just flopped around. The new BC3 came
w/ 2 tiny clamps ready for the jake wires and I added 3 more using
slightly longer bolts on the jake covers and spacers and a thermostant housing...
You would think I were setting up a Baja 1000 Race M916 motor !
When I pulled the old engine I was like WTH? Look at that wire wrapped
around the back of the block that goes to "I think" that is "a" temperature
sender. The cover was ratty, it was dangling in the breeze and just a poor
job, so I...
The insulation used for the 7155 Trans Heater is incredibly poor.
It is just open fiberglass wall insulation ! It was pretty much destroyed
so I went looking for some water resistant, adhesive backed, foil lined
stuff and I found this...
Glad you stopped in to look! It's starting to get good!
Getting the engine dressed up but good and dialing it in!
This is the new BC3 staged... Lots to do, no hurries, doing
EVERYTHING as right as I possibly can... Heck I even ordered
a 5/8" Copper Bead Maker tool today for heater hoses.!
A...
So today we noticed the Exhaust Port 90 degree fitting on the
BENDIX 275707 D-2 Governor. It appears as though Cummins RECON
group screwed into the exhaust port an “assumed”
1/8” MNPT X 1/8” FNPT brass 90 degree fitting as you see in my enclosed
picture. The problem is, it is touching the...
Fortunate I am to have SS members giving me much needed guidence
here and there. So appreciative I am "Wes" and "Will" and "Mike" and
others!
Will just stopped by and loaded me up w/ years of experience stuff!
The second he left I sat down and tried to type up everything he
told me! WHAT DID...
So all the sensors on the drivers side on the BC1 are 1/8" NPT .
The rear 5- female tapped holes in the block on the BC1 are 1/8" NPT.
The rear 4- female tapped holes in the block on the BC3 are 1/8" NPT.
The 5th from the rear on the BC3 is a -6 ORB PLUG! Dayim! '
I found a -6 male ORB x 1/8"...
Trying to keep things as bulletproof as possible.
The power steering return and cooler lines were
compromised. Tiny little gouge hole I found in one
so off to replace. Found a company named
AirCraft Spruce & picked up some quality hose.
THEY HAVE EVERYTHING HOSE!
Spendy but TOUGH... That...
Yes Will... My thots exactly but I "think" I need to keep the Oil Pressure sensor
that came w/ the BC... I "think" the BC3 runs less Oil Pressure then the Bc1?
My deal is, I want to REPLACE those sensors! So I need Pn's I think I have it
handled.
Prolly gonna do the rear main housing / seal...
So... I am hitting roadblocks on identifying these sensors.
I got LUCKY today and was clicking around and found
some paperwork on the 7155 tranny heater and I found
a pic of all the sensors (3) on the drivers side of the Big Cam 1
engine.
CAN ANYONE TRANSLATE / CROSS REFERENCE THESE P/N's...
He picked up my 5ton for me years ago at Ft lewis.
First thing he said was THEY GO FAST! ha!
I am not sure if you see my name or not but tell Brad
you have been conversing w/ Brad the plumber in SO Calif...

It looks like I need to...
