    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    The swirl factor is different. It is how the head is cast for the way the air is swirled in the intake cavity. ASFIK the injector cavity is the same. As for the cam, usually all are the same, look at the number on the nose of the cam. if they are the same no issue, if the numbers are different...

    fuel pump trouble

    The only check valve is the pump. You can drop a line into a clean bucket of fuel and go directly to the pump. if it starts better and will restart easily after shut down, your issue is somewhere in the lines up to the pump or in the tank.

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    The difference between gen set, pumps, industrial, pistons, turbo and exhaust manifold and pump/gears and head. If the stationary engine has an MW pump, gtg, just install your stuff when you do the re block. If it is later, and yes Virginia, late blocks are backwards compatible, it will most...

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    That thing is junk, I wouldn't waste my time with it, first time it gets a little heat in it you will have coolant in the oil. Put it on a shelf until you can do things correctlt

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    Cummins has no thread repair kits. My advice is to find a local guy/company that cuts counter bores, cam bushing repair, cylinder boring on HD engines and see if they have a way of repairing the block. I should also re state something. The cracking between liners was common, not so much the...

    m923a2 Compressor unloader broke, need sugestions

    Cummins sells them, e-bay..... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Air-Compressor-Unloader-Repair-Kit-for-Holset-SS296-220036-Ref-Cummins-3801733-/252750630604?hash=item3ad91c8ecc:g:gucAAOSwQJhUi2Xn&vxp=mtr

    M35a2 intermittent power loss at speed

    Get a gauge first and see what the low pressure is doing when the engine acts up

    m923a2 Compressor unloader broke, need sugestions

    Not a common issue to break the tabs, someone probably assembled it incorrectly. Buy a kit and the plunger and reassemble it, it will be WAY easier to do that than do a complete compressor unless you have the wrenches to take the compressor off....it is a PITA even for experienced Cummins guys.

    Need advice on 8.3 engine repair

    That was a common issue with early C's. I can't get on QSOL right now, but, IIRC, there is a head bolt repair sleeve available. Putting a liner in it will not fix anything, it will continue to have a coolant leak. Here is a universal puller...

    fuel pump trouble

    And, you cannot guess or just throw parts at things and expect to make things work. You need to troubleshoot things.

    Great, glad things were a simple fix and nothing was torn down causing more issues! The hard top will be gravy!

    NHC 250 front main seal

    Sorry, been a baaad weekend. The crank nose is tapered. You could TRY and use a puller, but if you have ever removed something from a tapered shaft that has been torqued on, you will know that the pressed on part WILL come flying off. Do not be in it's path. When installing, you need to use...

    NHC 250 front main seal

    I looked for a bit but can't find one. I'll keep looking. IIRC, the crank nose is tapered, it comes off with a good pop and I THINK it needs to be lapped when installed. Like I said, i'll keep looking, I know it is around here somewhere....

    NHC 250 front main seal

    I'll look and see if I have a book for it and scan the image of the tools. I might have a seal tool.

    NHC 250 front main seal

    Are you referring to the little bit poking out past the trunion? If so, all that is the bushing on the front cover. The trunion is the front mount, there should be rubber between the cover and the mount. It looks in tact and normal. Getting the adapter off is a mofo. Did you wash it first...

    M923A2 Fuel Filter Change Nightmare

    WOT works faster, yes you should fill the system with the lift pump primer, but no need to crack lines.

    M923A2 Fuel Filter Change Nightmare

    Bosch P/MW/A pumps do not need bleeding, they will prime just fine w/o cracking lines, removing plugs, etc. Put the throttle off idle and crank it.
