Part number for the clip is 15567924. Figure 25, item 12 in TM 9-2320-289-34P. This clip forces the cable eye on the large diameter portion of the throttle arm shaft. I don't recall a bushing. Cable is 14038644.

The aftermarket alternator regulators bootstrap without need to blip the throttle. I cannot see any other issue with alternators nor any need for external regulation.

Any time Todd! The throttle cable to IP is secured with a spring clip. Don't have the part number handy now..cannot take a picture as mine has the governor for the PTO generator in the way.

Awesome!

I had 13G in mine, factory as far can be determined. Vehicle had 9000 miles in 2012 when I liberated it from Ft McCoy WI. Had starting issues last year, 3 were burned out and 2 lost the spades on replacing, none were swollen. The starting difficulty also presented with much shorter pre...

Depends. Xylene might touch it. Urethane is a thermoset and highly resistant to even glycol base brake fluid.

Have you tried a heat gun?

You got it now. One cylinder fires every 90° of crank rotation. For swollen GP removal, piston should be TDC for compression or exhaust, it doesn't matter. There is only 20 to 30 thousandths of an inch between the piston top and cylinder head which is 1/10th the diameter of an unswollen GP...

It is a 90° V8 with cross plane crank. Meaning 1 and 2 have a common crank pin. So these pairs are 90° off. Ditto with 3 and 4, 5 and 6, 7 and 8. Divide the damper ring into 4 quadrants and use the lines to line up with the timing pointer, based on the firing order.

You could but it is hard to see the piston through the port on the cup. See my above post using damper timing marks.

On the left side of the harmonic damper is a scale, with all glow plugs loose, you can roll the engine over with a socket on the damper bolt. Now you need to lay out quadrants on the damper...90° intervals. #1 TDC is marked with a slot across the damper outer ring. One chalk line at 180°...

With 6 swollen glow plugs, a better picture of the state of the engine appears. While the engine can start without functioning glow plugs, it takes a very long cranking time. The Leroy tool can snap the tip off, usually the bit sticks in the head. It is best to bring each cylinder to top...

Exactly. I expect pressure to rise in order of testing due to oil buildup. I did driver side left bank first, then passenger side right bank. Oil builds due to lack of glow plugs in all cylinders as lack of blow by unseats rings. I've noticed pressurized coolant when cold for about 6...

Leroy Diesel. Don't have a link right now but it is online. https://leroydiesel.com/products/leroys-glow-plug-removal-tool/ I have heard of running the engine to force the plugs out. But 1800 PSI on the 5.2 mm bore means a good deal of kinetic energy so wrap it in heavy shop towel. The...

Took me long enough, finally found that round toit 😉 The Lang Tool GP adapter to my Foster adapter and finally PT gauge worked perfectly. Even for #7 with the ugly oil cooler lines. Plugs looked normal despite the wide range of pressure. Lowest was #5 with 365 PSI. Highest is #8 with 420 PSI...

Bending the finger forward could prevent shut off. Be careful. When installing the cover, it needs to be dropped in a forward position and slid back, this is what closes the metering valve. The solenoid is energized to run.

The stock air cleaner studs are indeed M7X1. I suppose the designer had used a 1/4 inch and was told to make it metric because that was the managerial edict of the day. Didn't know preferred sizes. While I could have gone to 5/16", it would require all new studs and wing nuts. I found the...

Odd number size, below 6mm are common. I've triple checked size and pitch. The Banks adapter uses only 2 for holding back around 300 pounds of force due to 12 PSI boost. Using 4 sounds better based on shear on the cast aluminum threads. Plus less deformation in the 1/4" aluminum. I'm...

Yes, Doug, glow plug testing with a simple 12 volt trouble light is good enough for the majority of the time. Indirect injection has the glow plug in the middle of the precombustion chamber. Direct injection engines have the GP at the middle of the cylinder head with only a slight...

Intake side is nearly complete. Just need to o-ring the boost tubes, figure out the angles and bends and fit the air ducts. Two 16 gauge aluminum butt welds, these are gravy compared to welding on castings Added two more bolts for the top hat to manifold. Tap for the 7mm X 1 thread is on...
