    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    The exh gasses passing thru the manifold are sped up, I think that is why the TT autolash screw came into play. As engine designs were changed to meet emissions, cam/injection timing changed and this effected the brake operation. There were a few brakes that could not be used with twin entry...

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    I don't know. In the literature there are warnings in bold red that warn of mis match parts and engine damage. I have been looking, but a box of books is still MIA.

    nhc350 to 6CTA8.3

    The C series is shorter, so, if you left the rear mounts the same you'd have more room between the fan and radiator., That's easy. Not sure about moving the cooling package back. There would be lots of damming to make no re circulation of the fan air.

    Oil spraying out exhaust

    The little sawdust pieces did go into the engine, not good for it, but seen it alot and no issues came of it.

    Jake brake 25A vs. 25B & their use with a pulse manifold

    No, IIRC it requires auto lash, or hydraulic type adjusters. I did look for books, but they are MIA, I don't remember what I did with them as well as some other books I am looking for. PAC brakes were horrible, alot of failures seen with them. They came out when the pat. on the "jake"design...

    Oil spraying out exhaust

    You should change the air filter due to all the damage to the compressor wheel. All those little pieces parts actually will bounce around in the intake pipe, find their way back into the filter and wedge themselves in the filter media. They Will come out again. If that happens, you will destroy...

    NHC 250 M936 Engine Revs Very High when starting

    If you had an air intrusion issue, it can take a bit to get all the air from inside the pump out. Go drive it then let it sit.

    What can cause the dipstick to get pushed out?

    Yes to both. A hard stopper can cause it and/or high CC pressure. Try a new stopper first.

    things you dont want to see inside your hydrovac

    johan77, PM me next Monday, that's the day before I go back to the Museum, i'll forget if you do it sooner, and I will look through a parts pile for a spring. I had to pull 4 air packs apart to find a good one the last time I overhauled one.

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    If an injector is stuck, the fuel the pump puts out is shunted to return, it. Pull the return from the engine and see if there is juice there when cranking. If no fuel out the return, the pump has an issue, or, there is a giant restriction before the pump. The M106 I did recently had a plugged...

    NHC250 Air compressor replacement

    Fuel lines can be an issue if going the twin cylinder compressor, the pump is pushed back an inch or so and the bottom support is different due to the pump being back farther. Navistar used the Bendix Truflow for a long time, so, if you went that way, and could find a corn binder in a junk yard...

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Maybe it is 60 PSI. Too much rolling around in my head. If no pressure, there will be a slight amt of smoke just because it is trying to lite with the fuel in the system. Before you go ripping into the engine, do the simple things first. If it was sitting for a long time and there was any water...

    Hey, has the snow thawed yet, Homework load too much?

    HEMTT M977 - Crank, No Start

    Or the fuel pump died. Get a pressure gauge, 1/4 NTP and put it in one of the empty ports on the pressure filter, You should have 160 or so PSI cranking. If no pressure, possibly a stuck pressurizing valve in the pump. It is only a gear pump, so not much to go wrong in there. There is a drive...
