So, I googled some part numbers for the gaskets I need to fix my compression problem. ( http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxiliary-equipment/83566-compression-testing-mep-002a-003a.html for details )
I couldn't believe SEARS Parts Direct was hit.
Hey, I can take a chance. I checked for the...
Isn't the GL listings for Ft. Meade saying "GL will only load a Flat Bed Trailer "
Are they not enforcing that? would be nice. I have seen that line on several trailers I have looked at.
5/8" with an extension. Probably want to use 1/2" drive and breaker bar.
Correct. There might be a plastic plug in the center of the blower grill on front of the engine.
Not that I know of.
Man, I am liking this option.
The trailer has a flat at the moment. Hope to get it repaired soon. (M101A1 :sad:) Had to find a truck place. Now I need to haul the tire over there. MAN, them tires are heavy.
Soon as I get the tire patched, I'll run over to "Diesel Dave's" shop (local diesel...
Jerry,
The guage set up I bought at NAPA has two schrader ?SP? valves ... capture and release. The guage is only readable to 300, but it has a lot of white space before it hits the pin on its way around.
TM state 350 - 400 psi is normal.
Below 325 psi - Troubleshoot and repair.
So, with...
I did readjust the valves.
Made a difference using the "A" mark both times. The number 2 cylinder was off quite a bit.
Ran with less smoke on start up.
Still had poor pressure and a but load of blow by. More info on post #16 @...
The MEP-002A and 003A don't have sleeves as far as I can tell. Maybe your thinking of the MEP-004 and above?
The Hour meter said 7hrs when I got it. Everytime I pull something apart I start to think that might be true. Inside usually looks pristen but outside it looks like it sat for 28 years...
The insides of cylinder 2
So, I have been playing around with the generator. Cylinder two has been really low. (175psi) and I can't get more than 10 min of run time before it stalls.
I knew part of the problem was blow by. I grabbed a length of 1/2" heater hose and sent the breather out-put...
Probably too late, but do you have links to (or the keywords you used to search for) the other related threads?
I ask because I like when there are cross links in threads. I don't like the "Use the Search" replies as much as things like "Search on xyz" or "Here is a link"
just my 2cents
I think this is the thread you were referring to: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/auxiliary-equipment/83566-compression-testing-mep-002a-003a.html
NJToolNut did make a couple of fittings. Don't know if he still has any.

Ok, That makes sense with what I was saying. (See page 56 second column in Ike's link)
It should be "A" both times on the 002A.
(The 003A procedure is on page 57 and matches the TM)
So, played with my MEP 002A last weekend. Went up to N1OTY's and compared my and his. (His is nicer :oops: )
Decided that I want to re-adjust the valve clearance again before pulling the injectors. I will then send them out for test/cleaning/rebuilding.
Is the TM valve adjustment procedure...
Don't sweat the IP problem. You've had the IP off and back on with timing. REALLY that is the hardest part I found. I rebuilt the IP myself. Others here have too. The AMBAC site has a good illustration, the TM was easy enough to follow. The parts are cheap enough.
Now, there are IP's that I...
There are two pumps in series. It only takes one running to get fuel to the Injector Pump (IP). You are probably hearing the second pump running.
You also stated "Also with that plug unplugged and I turn to start it trips the breaker right away..." Are you saying that you can not start the...
