    How are you going to add a turbo speed sensor?

    M35a2 White Smoke

    Here's my 2cents worth. In the videos, it almost sounds like it is popping, maybe in the intake, the exhaust sounds smooth. Pull the elbow from the turbo and have a listen. It still has the flame heater, could possibly have a leaking flame heater nozzle/solenoid. Try simple things first before...

    Use an orbital sander with fine wet/dry paper and go slow. The markings will pop out.

    M923A0 coolant in oil ... it's rebuild time for me!

    Use a propane torch to lightly heat the pistons instead of freezing the pin, water from condensation can attack the upper wrist pin bushing, BC rods work well in SC engines, they have a much smaller failure rate and with the oil hole moved off center, better oiling. Trouble shoot it first.....

    M923A0 coolant in oil ... it's rebuild time for me!

    Unknown on the bearing size, but if/when you drop the pan, look on the #1 rod counterweight. IF it is not torn apart, do like you said and drop the pan, use a cooling system pressurizing tool and put 15 or so PSI on it and watch where the drips come from

    M923A0 coolant in oil ... it's rebuild time for me!

    I read thru this, saw no troubleshooting. A freeze plug in the top of the head will but coolant in the oil, a fast easy fix. If it is apart, well, guess you better check things over very carefully or you Will be doing something over again. How far torn down is it?

    M60 repair

    We don't keep batteries in vehicles, so when we start anything, except mules, it always has someone in the seat, brakes applied and we announce we are going to fire and wait for replies. We are small, but very safe. All that are there are friends, it would suck to loose a friend just because...

    M3 Scout Car

    We need to get this ready for a holiday event or Vets coming up next weekend. It hadn't been lit off in a few years. Dumped fuel in it, checked the brakes, no fluid in the MC but clean, no rust. Put a battery in it, cranked it and it fired right up! Didn't run so well though, the last time I...

    M60 repair

    Last update fro a bit until we address the other issue. Attempted to remove the drilled broken bolts, found that they were helicoiled previously. The bolt wouldn't come out, so I drilled incrementally to the correct size for tapping, was going to run a tap thru the hole and push what was left of...

    Blow'd Up Sir!

    I remember a time when a position like that wasn't necessary. But I guess as clueless people and people that shouldn't be in a position enter the workforce and management that has never done the job that they are supposedly managing, "manage" and tell un qualified people to do things they...

    M925 and Broke Water pump Belt

    M35a2, 215 would be a good temp for a light to come on at, the older engines don't like 220 for very long, material from the piston likes to stick to the liner much higher than that. Ajax, yup, the 809 and 900 series with the 855 use the same design. It helps with belt adjustments after new...

    M60 repair

    I have a Q, if you go back to post 6, pic 4, you will see a tube coming from the turbo outlet, routed fwd, around the intake and they terminate at the air boxes. When the engine runs, there is exhaust noise and heat coming out of them at the front of the engine, but no exhaust. Anyone know what...

    M60 repair

    I loved your eyes dude! Although I LOVE to work on things, I am hoping I do not have to climb in and out, up and down in THAT vehicle for a bit. It wore me out. The thrill for me is to bring things back to life/running order, using my pea brain instead of the BS troubleshooting that Cummins made...

    Idle steadily increases for no reason. (Vid)

    A restricted return can cause idle to creep,but, usually it will not go down. Most likely has throttle leakage too low. Does the engine have a block warmer? If so, plug it in and see if the idle does the same thing if it is warm.

    578 and M62/548 are at the Museum, 578 just needs a look over, it runs and ASFIK, works, never excersized the crane, cables look good. M62 is stuck, tried moving it to get the M60 out, but there are brake issues, this one needs a re spool. Both will not walk the pack, they need to pull and...
