Wow. Great find.

My experience is that the little hole getting clogged creates a lockup of the brakes until fluid is released Not the opposite.

I have an M 1008 that could part with. Pm if interested. also, go to MVCCNEWS.NET for camp Plymouth info.

Jon, OMG, it’s so good to hear from you. Sorry to hear about your wife, I hope everything worked out well. Once the motor is rebuilt, I can check the tranny to see about lugging the engine Otherwise I’m focused on the rebuild. More updates are coming.

MrMikey, thanks, I’ll see what the damage is from PC Industries In Wyoming.

Got it.

Update 2/9/2020 pulled the aftercooler today. no visible signs of leakage. Getting a quote on the complete rebuild kit plus 2 connecting rods, oil cooler core, spin on oil filter adapter and a rebuilt water pump. Bracing for price shock impact.

Update 1/26/2020: pulled the oil cooler and cut open the oil filter. the filter had grit in it, as one would expect, I found maybe 3 minut pieces of metal 2 copper colored one silver. Also made an adapter to extend my tire winch so I can remove supercharger and make it easy to use when it’s...

Valor, crank rod bearing surfaces look real good. I’ll need to drop a main bearing to inspect.

Update 1/25/2020 i had a buddy come by and he helped me pull all the pistons and liners. OMG, there was no way I could have done this myself. Right bank was definitely the side that failed. Pistons scored, rings destroyed, liners oval from the heat. I’ll be doing a full in-frame rebuild...

Vote for tracers truck...well deserved.
