Fuel pump push rods do fail. I have seen one 6.2 diesel broken in 37 years, not likely but possible. But the cam eccentric can be worn down also to the point of no lever action. And the end of the rod can be scrubbed, but also a rare occurrence. That is another great reason to start all...

5 Micron filters are good but 1 micron sure does help cut down on injection pump issues. My 82' civi has a 5 and 1 micron factory filters. The 5 has a water separator on bottom of filter and drain petcock. Every now and then I will check fuel in jar for water. Buying fuel at a good fuel station...

Any and all "rubber" hoses are suspect. Collapsed hose is also possible. Any air in the gage and gage will not read correctly, at all. That spot is for air to bleed. When changing fuel filters, inspection of filter by pouring contents in to clear glass jar, do not close any glass vessel with...

Most times after taking the generator off and it gets kicked, dropped, pushed around shop when it worked before but now it doesn't, the brushes pick up dirt, rust, oil, grit from wear and tear. The brushes get glazed and the commutator can not make contact, or the grooves need cleaning, the...

I agree with TOBASH. Brake cleaner has its uses, but PB Blaster works for degrading rust. And helps with disassembly. Brake cleaner does clean, but rust forms the second that it dries out. Some will agree, disagree but diesel fuel works for me for cleaning parts.

I have to mirror Guyfang thought. 71DueceAK, What an adventure and I was thinking working vacation? And with fellow Members that are Friends of Military Iron. Memories for a Lifetime

Seen a Mail Call episode with R.Lee Ermey last week that was about the 1030 650 Kawasaki.

Welcome to the Forum. No concern at all. Why be concerned? Great surface wear properties. If you sand the paint wear a respirator. If you are welding on or burning off paint, do not breath.

The only other thing I thought and not easy to check would be a bad wrist pin.

Let me ask this question. Is it worth your time and labor to take a chance on if it will work, and for how long? If it does not work then you are doing the job twice.

Hello Oerthedge21, I have read this thread many times. I am going to throw out some thoughts, here goes. Has the frequency of the noise changed? Louder or softer, the same since engine work? You stated in post 210 that the ticking was louder in the cab. Have you checked the bell housing...

Many enjoyable hours of reading the TM's will give a lot of useful information. Start Today!

Now would be a good time to explore the TM's as the page information has been provided to help. You may also find some other information that you need and not know it yet. :clinto:

1979 When I was doing heavy industry demolition that required cutting, burning of large galvanized duct work we were required to take milk breaks to help with getting the zinc out of our body. Purely preventative measure we were told. WRONG! I want this to be a warning that zinc poisoning is...

Hardened seats are only half the battle. Counter sinking valves can ruin a cylinder head in no time if run hard heating up the cast iron. Second is the intake valves sticking. The lead years ago, late 70's into the eighties was eliminated. The lead acted like a lubricant for the seat and the...

Kept Going Sign up Troops!

Or resistance-, to working ever again.

I like the brass snaps on my leaders for the dogs and the horses. A lot easier to use with ageing hands.

Matt S Have you checked out the CUCV Helpful Threads? Lots of great information. There is a member here that has a lot of the rebuild parts. His handle will come up, if I can remember.

And I see that you are low locked. It was always fun being able to wheel every day. And if I got hung up the dozer or highlift could get me out. How much work was it to get all the covering off?
