Brandonw01, Ron...73m819... is not trying to be harsh, but he is correct. Please try to use punctuation, caps, etc. It makes it a whole bunch easier on the eyes and for us older folks to comprehend. I get it though, if I use my phone to post here, things come out all misspelled, caps in the...

Is it missing or just in need of fixin'?

Buy all of the hold down bolts too, they stretch when rocker shafts break. Make sure you loosen and back the valve adjuster screws out. A heads up, the torque to yield method is ONLY used if you have the TTY head bolts. Using this method on non TTY bolts will result in broken head bolts. If you...

I found them in my attachments...

^^ what he said about self priming. Early engines used copper washers to seal the 6mm "bleed" capscrews instead of the dyna seal type. Too many off and ons of the 6mm capscrews can cause loss of prime issues. Put more go juice in the tank and try again. If still no start, do as simp says and run...

I need a project, Ship it out here!

2 months, no update, no progress. I was hoping to see an addition to this thread that had engine installed pics after I got home, but noooo!

And there is a big star on the hood you can't see in the pic, IIRC, it is centered and 24 inches. The numbers on the sides of the hood are the truck number or registration or vin, what ever you want to call it, the one engraved on your data plate. The markings on the bumper varied, they are the...

Have you raised it off the ground to see if there is an issue with the bearings or knuckle?

I was thinking this too. try running it from a bucket of fuel. This will verify sandcobras thinking. They can and do go to WOT when air is introduced into the system.

From the pics, all looks good. Use a wire wheel on a drill motor to clean the liner bores and lower receivers, a block of wood with 320 paper on it for the deck, avoid those spinning disc things, they remove material. After it is all clean, no need to polish it, just remove the chunks, spray...

That hole looks OK. Turning the fuel up in these early engines might be OK for non daily commerce use, the duty cycle is not like a garbage truck. Marine versions of this engine weren't released until mid 90's IIRc and the build change for these engines, thick decks, better head castings, etc...

And, if you rebuild the air pack, lay the parts out as you disassemble, SOME of the TMs are wrong, I had one that was wrong and 1 correct

sounds like a plugged hole in the MC or a swolen rubber cup in the MC. A word of advice, stay AWAY from the New Star or whatever they are calling it no line of rebuild kits, stay away from ALL Chinese made stuff, the rubber swells very fast and you will be doing the job again

Mos, this version of the C was.....growing pain.....for Cummins. Theses were prone to head cracking and dropping seats, and the dreaded block crack between liners. Can't tell you how many garbage trucks I did head jobs and block replacements on. Most likely nothing anybody let happen. If you use...

I get it, I was sad but happy when I sold mine. I told the guy that bought it that I didn't wanna know what he planned to do with it. I was afraid he was going to bob it or do some other bubba thing to it. Afew months later I get a PM from him asking if I'd like to see it after he did his thing...

Change out the air filter, all those pieces parts went right back into it.

And the 800/900 (NHC) series is spline driven, the 900A2 (C8.3) is gear driven. The turbo/non turbo should be a non issue, IIRC, the unloaders were the same as were the cylinder components.

Or take the outlet line off of the switch...that way you don't get too dirty

Bigmike is up in Sacto, try PMing him
