I actually work for the Cummins Engine Co. distributor out here on the west coast. The museum is where I tinker with things. Home - The American Society of Military History in Los Angeles, California

Take a compression test. Rings seal combustion gasses but not liquids in small amounts. If the float level is too high or the floats/valve is stuck or has crap in it, fuel can overflow the float bowl and end up in a cylinder, then in the pan. When it runs, does it puff black smoke out the tailpipe?

Yeah, I kinda forgot to insert the use antisieze part. If you use silicone, sure it will not leak, but it will be extremely difficult to re adjust the belt after it's initail stretch and it'll probably leak again if you get it to move. Use antisieze.

^^ what DH says. It will be VERY hot after driving. I would do it cold. If the vent is stopped up, when you take the plug out hot, the hot oil will go everywhere, including all over you. it will blister your skin.

The water pumps can be difficult to move and most of the time the copper seal will leak after the pump is moved. You are doing it correctly. Try getting a bar that fits in the slots, put some tension on the pump and give it a love tap with a hammer, spray some sort of lube on it.

To all southern California, southwest United States Veterans and active duty servicemen and women, The American Society of Military History is offering free admission to the Museum the weekend of the 9th, 10th and 11th of November, Veterans Day. If you can make it, we would love to have you...

Pull the front cover, put the gears in a brass lined vice, then use two long pry bars and pry it off the shaft.The cover needs to come off to get the shaft out. There will be a snap ring between the drive gear and the cover. What out for the governor assist, it's spring loaded, be mindful of the...

1st, why?

Check it with a known good mechanical gauge.

Howdy and welcome!

we will have the tools to keep the sun dials in the blue...I will have some that are blue all the time, with or without the tools. Just looked at Amboy weather, 60's daytime, 30's at night. Guess I need to find a way to fit all the wood I put in the deuce into a Cherokee!

Time is at a premium, gotta do what I gotta do. Need to break in the Jeep, it's gonna have a long useful winter, I hope.

Naw man, Wilburs wobble but they don't fall down or roll. The truck is a bit lower, so I don't think I need to worry this time:-D

Rope is on the list!

Copper and diesel don't hurt each other. In the old days, that's what was used.

Are you stuck on the road or just in need of them?

I still have junk to play with :-D This is a no go for me, gonna go do some exploring out by Amboy the following weekend in the jeeps. Two in a row would be too much, too soon. Crap, there will be mines involved :twisted:

The screen filter in the pump is only there to stop debris from going into the injectors if there were to be a pump failure. The flow is backward, it filters from the inside out and there is a magnet in there to pick up broken pump parts. Looking at it will do no good. If the engine runs, the...
