I called HyCapacity which is an ag parts distributor to ask about their "HC40-1091706" rod bolt. It is the correct rod bolt for the Hercules 478. They purchase it directly from Hercules. HyCapacity was helpful and tried to contact Hercules regarding the specs but couldn't get a response from...

"We don't know"

Then agan, that rod/ cap looks intact; maybe a different failure mode. Beat me to it....

However, it appears failures still occur with the 12 pt bolts: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?66437-Major-Meltdown!!-(/page8&highlight=mortum

Pretty easy to find out. I sent an email asking if they are 12 pt or 6 pt.

IMO, burning junk fuel is like diggin' through the dumpster for a half-eaten, day-old donut.

Both have TD cast into the block. The early block is squared off at the passenger side rear, the newer one is rounded. I have wondered if this is one of the differences between a C and D.

My wife once called me while changing oil and told me that she couldn't get the plug out; it just spun in place. Turns out that she got confused about which direction loosens the plug. She couldn't get it loose with a wrench; tried a ratched, worked up to a breaker bar, and finally got it to...

There are actually two different TD blocks. There APPEARS to be an early TD and a late TD.

I guess what I am looking for is a quantitative technical description of what is better, how much it is better, and why. Are new turbos a 50%, 20%, or an incremental improvement over the 4LE or 3LM? "WAAAAY" doesn't really answer the question.

Can you give some details about what makes them archaic? The "d" isn't THAT old.

Up in smoke. 8)

The commercial version of the MF is rated up to 228 HP: http://herculesengine.com/d4800.htm

I don't think evidence supports the bottom end being overstressed. The bottom end failures seem to be more due to bolt fatigue than bearing fatigue. Has anyon blown out one of the newer (Victor 5818 ) head gaskets ?

Impact of Gasohol on the L-141 and LDT-465-1C Engines. Abstract : Gasohol was analyzed in the L-141 and LDT-465-1C engines in order to determine its impact upon engine operability. During various steady-state operating conditions, with the L-141 engine, gasohol was found to improve economy...

My OA331 was like this. The previous owner capped off the valve cover vent causing blooms of rust on the rocker arms. I just cleaned off what I could with a wire bruch and shop vac.

I don't think that the military requirements were very stringent. White motors had their own engine competing as a multifuel replacement for the Reo gas engine. The White was also a modified gas engine based on the Reo V8 using a pre-combustion chamber. Here is what the White literature had...
