The only issue I see is that it comes off the mount complete, and, as you already know, it is heavy. Yes, IF it was ever needed there most likely would be a second person, but, still, together, it will be a hand full to wrestle down. How did you get it up there?
Unless the block is cracked between the liners, it can easily be fixed in chassis. The parts just need replacing. IF what happened to Mos' engine was a warrant able failure, it would have got a new head, turbo, up to 6 cylinder kits, aftercooler, rods as deemed necessary by the inspecting...
The stat SHOULD be a 180, the gauge might be off a bit. I do not remember if the NHC has a deairation line routed to the surge tank. I can look when I go to "work" next Tuesday. The line should start at the stat housing before the stat and go to the surge tank, there is always a positive flow...
Please, use caps and spacing between your sentences, it makes it a whole lot easier to read things....especially for us older dudes! Please update your location from your zip to a city.
Use your favorite flavor of engine oil, 15w40 is the proper wt. Myself, I like Valvoline. It doesn't get as...
Hey Mos, you DID replace the aftercooler, didn't you? All the pieces of the dropped seats find their way to other cylinders via the intake. They are moving at a very high velocity and some pieces like to get wedged in the aftercooler core. YOU will not be able to see them or get them out, but...

Try a NAPA store, and bring your old...
No need to bleed anything. The Bosch in line pumps self bleed. Hold the throttle pedal to the wood and crank it. Mos, no break in oil needed, just run it 'til the next oil change interval, unless you were dirty going together, like lots of dirt/dust flying around with things open. I am not a fan...
It's #2, so the cab won't be in the way, Sure, as long as you have the puller to get the liner out and a ring compressor to put the piston back in the hole. No different than an 855, DT or other engines. Parts could be an issue, as in getting the same piston, I do not know if different pistons...
Our fireworks schedule has been busy this year and we pushed the trip to late Oct for weather reasons. Still kicking the dates around. I'll hopefully know more later this week. I need to get my azz out there.
The Website Help section is for getting help on the SS website, like if you need help posting pictures, you can't find a certain sub forum, help me, I've fallen and can't reach my beer....just kidding, just general help with navigating the SS site. Please don't post about specific...
