    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...

    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...

    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...
