Note that the oil relief valves dumps excess pressure into the pan. Even if you were able to access oil upstream from the oil relief on the side of the block, it would still be limited by the relief valve setpoint (40 psi). I am assuming that the LDT465 et al has the same setpoint. You would...
The multi has two oil pressure relief valves. According to TM9-2815-204-35 Figure 19 which is for the LDS427, one at the pump (125 psi) and one on the side of the block (40 psi). I guess that you may be able to adjust the one on the side of the block but it probably is best to get a centrifuge...
The intake and exhaust manifolds are the same; the heads are the same (no runner or port differences). I can push my wastegate turbo to 15 psi and not trigger the filter minder thus indicating the air filter is not a restriction. The exhaust on my truck MAY be more restrictive but I have a...
I haven't looked inside of an LDS but my understanding is that the second nozzle was designed to keep the top ring groove cooled which enables the use of low additive oils common when the engine was designed. I have to wonder if this design feature is obviated with modern oils?
I ordered a set of hoses. The issue that I've run into is that the brake line tee on the axle (going to the frame) is inverted flare. However, the hose that I recieved has a flate face. Suggestions? Are there different brake tees or is the hose the issue?
I purchased a snap on adapter and it doesn't fit in all of the locations. I ended up building one from double box end wrench and a socket. In building one, I can say that the weak link isn't the weld but the mild steel link between the wrench and the socket.
I can understand the UV affecting the surface of the wheel but how can the UV cause the whole of the wheel to shrink and crack? Seems like a different problem.
I took off a wastegate to put back on a D turbo but that was because it was damaged. I eventually did obtain and install a good wastegate turbo. Who was the person who had performance issues?
I replaced all of the wheel cylinders in my bobbed deuce last week (1.5") and noticed that one of the front brake hoses has a crack. They were all replaced about 8 years ago but I want to be as safe as possible. So, I searched for a source for new ones and happened upon TM 43-0143 which...
Agreed, it can also depend on the design but is usually confined to wet sleeve engines. That said, I have been following this forum since 2005 and I can't recall even one cavitation problem with the multifuel.
