    LDS 465 1a rebuild or repower ?

    I realize that the sleeves are a slip fit. However, the looser they are, the poorer the heat transfer is going to be. I belive that there have been some comments on the tractor fourums about this being a problem. This company offers a 5 thou larger sleeve which they recommend for rebuild...

    There is an oversize (OD) liner to fix this problem.

    Another source for the new multifuel head gaskets

    http://www.hdengineparts.com/Gasket-Cylinder-Head-5818.htm The part number (5818) matches the new style that I have. I have not done business with the above company.

    Flex fuel in a multi-Fuel...?

    I've got a paper at home that specifically addresses the use of alcohol in the multifuel. The take away is that it isn't recommended. I'll post a copy of the paper when I get home. I've had ZERO issues with 10% alcohol in 1940s to 2000s gasoline vehicles.

    Why is taking 12v from one batt bad?

    To put it in a little clearer terms. Your battery will have an open circuit voltage (ie. nothing connected to it) somewhere between 12.6 and 13.0V. If in use the voltage at the battery terminals is less than the open circuit voltage, current (and energy) is leaving the battery. Conversely, if...

    Why is taking 12v from one batt bad?

    You have to look at this a little more carefully before stating that it will invariabley shorten the life of the battery. If your load is small enough that it does not cause the voltage on that battery to drop below 14V (or whatever is half your alternator's voltage) it will not affect the...

    FDC fuel efficiency

    Agreed but this should hold true for other diesel engines, too.

    FDC fuel efficiency

    Here are some numbers: 8V92: 0.345 BSFC minimum at 1700 RPM, for an efficiency of roughly 39.8%. 0.355 BSFC at rated horsepower, for an efficiency of roughly 38.7%. Series-60: 0.311 BSFC minimum at 1550 RPM, for an efficiency of roughly 44.2%. 0.315 BSFC at rated horsepower, for an...

    LDS VS LDT and the real differences

    The second oil squirter does not reduce EGT by 100F. Right from Continental's literature: "Oil is circuiated through the annulus to reduce the temperature of the ring groove and thereby eliminate the requirement for high additive oil..." "This piston cooloing development has resulted in an...

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Perhaps, "lug" was a poor choice of words. Do you have first hand experience with this turbo which suggests no improvment over the C/D?

    1952 M135 Converted to standard shift.....

    Assuming that you still have the 302... The 302 was available with two different bellhousing sizes over its production run: one with an 11 or 11.5" clutch and one with a ~14 inch clutch. If you have the small one, you can use a flywheel cover off of anything chevy or gmc pickup to 2.5 ton. I...

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Both. I was the lone bidder at $79 on ebay. It was mis labeled as an LDT turbo. Between work, school, family, and the fact that my truck is 2 hours away, it is hard to get much done on it. Very much looking forward to your results. I don't agree. Ken posted that the increased boost at...

    lds wastegate turbo on an M35

    Got it in the mail today. It appears much bigger than the C or D turbo; wish I had one to compare with right now. The inlet is 3.5" anybody know the input size of the C or D? I seem to remember that the intake tube on the deuce necks down at the turbo? The outlet seems like it is...

    removing the governor?

    The 2300 is the large base Holley 2bbl series. The 4412 is the 500cfm model. I would suggest getting the 2300 series 320cfm ecnoomaster. It is similar to 350cfm but has better wagonwheel boosters, two stage power valve, and reverse idle ciruit. I used this on my 331 Reo and it vastly...

    removing the governor?

    I cannot say with any certainty that either has dyno'ed this combination. However, based on conversations with Clifford, this engine is outside of their main business focus. It is, however, EXACTLY what Patricks specializes in. But, I could be wrong; ask Clifford or Tom for ANY dyno results...

    removing the governor?

    Neither Clifford nor Tom have dyno'ed this combination and are guessing at what kind of increase you will get. I posted REAL numbers and the kind of increase you are expecting required more than an intake/exhaust swap. Patrick Dykes will tell you that you the same thing that he told me many...
