Are the results shown in the pyro/ boost more or less fueling than the stock setting?

It is in the "Operation and Maintenance Instructions" for the Continental Red Seal six cylinder diesels. This includes the 427, 572, and 802 cubic inch engines. The multifuel was derived from these engines and is an amalgam of the 427 and the larger engines; not a simple adaptation of the 427...

Continental's literature says minor pitting is OK. You can resurface lifters.

You are suggesting the HX40 as an upgrade to the stock multifuel turbo?

The little 600W screw in block heater isn't worth the effort and doesn't get the heat where you need it (in my experience). You need a 1000W or 1500W heater tank heater to be meaningful when it is really cold.

How is that a valid statement when they are not the same engine?

Nobody comes to this forum to read.:-) Pictures are always fun.

Why not a DT360 or DT466? At least those are the same form factor. I am not a big fan of the 6.9/ 7.3L. I don't believe that history would be as kind to them if not for the 6.0 and 6.4 being such turds.

You know, that seems about perfect for this engine and truck combination. I am geared a bit faster with the 395s and it is evident in how the truck drives.

OK, did some reading. I'm just going to state that there is a whole lot about batteries that I don't know and there is way too much info to boil down into one post. If you are really interested, the two books I have on my bookshelf which are quite good: Linden's Handbook of Batteries 4th Ed...

The power steering gear are rated by front end weight (at least the ones that I have seen). The 2-port HF54 is rated for a 5k, 5.5k, 6k, and 7k lb axles. When combined with a slave cylinder, the 4-port HF54 is usable with a 9k lb axle.

Isn't that 2700 rpm in your pic?

We've done a fair amount of work and research in renewable energy using lead acid batteries and I've never heard of this. All of the chargers that I have seen on the market (and all of the ones we use) do a two or three step charging: bulk (current limited), adsorption (constant voltage), and...

I'll verify when I get to work tomorrow... but I don't think it is possible for a battery to sulfate when fully charged.

Distilled water is NOT 18Mohm resistivity de-ionized "pure" water. Further, DI water quickly degrades to plain old water if exposed to the atmosphere which is what you have in most distilled water systems.

Wouldn't we be seeing evidence of rod bearing failure first? A cam is not loaded nearly as much as a rod. The Cummins 5.9 only has one replaceable cam bearing; the rest ride directly in the block.

The multifuel capability requires the higher 22:1 compression. The tractor engine is otherwise very similar and many tractor re-builders use the military pistons to make it easier to start. I guess what worries me (and why I didn't pursue higher horsepower) are the reports of cracks on the...

Well, I have a spare rebuilt wastegate turbo set up withe larger LDS465-2 compressor and housing ready to bolt on..... And I turned the fuel down. As to the head flow capability. Does anyone actually have any numbers?

The tractor version was 18:1.

I purchased 1/16" and 1/4" thick drops from rubberman on ebay. I used a pen to trace out the old (or new cork gasket) on the sheet and then cut it out with an xacto knife. I'd highly suggest the silicone sheet for a valve cover gasket. Seals well and is re-usable when you need to do valve...
