It looks like I have a conflict and may have to attend on Friday. There's a class I'd like to take on Saturday that is career-related... Ho hum...

I'm concerned about where it came from, what's missing as a result, what broke it up, etc. Usually things just lay at the bottom of the sump and don't cause problems. If it made it past the pickup screen and up into the oil pump it can wreck it. That makes me question the value of poking...

I just happen to have mine out to drill and tap holes in the exhaust to add EGT thermocouples. I have 3 or 4 wider fins similar to your picture. You may want to discuss with a local turbo expert, or just get on with it. All I can say is mine looks the same and it works fine!

Sorry I can't help more. It kinda looks like some .060-.080 inch diameter rod or wire material. Can you measure it? Maybe someone on here can speak to where that diameter rod would come from. Perhaps a spring from an oil pressure regulator or retainer for an oiler (pure speculation)? It...

Standard 1 1/2 inch 6 point socket will do. Oh, the main issue is turning it!

Do you have a CAT part number?

Great! I'm looking forward to it. What are you bringing from Texas? May be an opportunity to sell some stuff.

Wow thanks Woodsplinter and clinto! Yesterday I made similar brackets to what you provided pics for. It would be nice to have the correct headboard, but I doubt I'll find one anytime soon. The brackets I made hold the verticals nice and straight! Flat patterns of the brackets: Pics of...

I like the manual transmission and flexibility of the multifuel (plus a great sound!). There's a part of me that would really like more power and perhaps better economy, yet I have not tweaked my IP yet. The 465-2 engine is a neat idea, if you can ever find one. I like super singles in...

Below is a picture of my engine block (White LDT-465-1D) with a cast TD mark about two inches forward of the data plate on the passenger side. I assume this indicates that I have a TD block. Also, given my military experience much of the equipment included an "upgrade path" or method of being...

There's a big event at the Portland, OR expo center Thursday, July 25th - Saturday, July 27th, 2013. I hope to see as many of the guys in Oregon and surrounding areas there! http://www.expocenter.org/events?month=2013-07

Wow! That turbo is so clean and looks so good. Nice work and thanks for sharing!

I used VDO 150-101 for Boost and VDO 310-153, both are what they call Vision Black, which is kinda flat black or at least not real glossy. I also got an extra thermocouple 323-903. Purchased from Don's Sport Vehicle Sales and they shipped the same day! Best of all, I used peashooter's box and...

Please remember to wear a good quality dust mask. The sand, glass, and/or other nasty grit is not good for your lungs.

FYI there's a guy on here that's promised to put up a set of CAD drawings for the wood and perhaps other parts. I forget his name on here. If you search the forums you should be able to find it. I don't recall that he ever made good on posting them. Can you check?

Can you provide a pic of these camper windows? I would suggest checking with the surplus resellers and local guys, especially the guys that do bobbers and sometimes have trucks they are parting out (or piles of rusting hardware that PO all of the neighbors).

Thank you! Now I understand that it's not that I have the wrong headboard, it's that I'm missing a bracket (or two). I had a hunch that there should be some sort of bracket like that to hold the verticals in place. I don't see much value in having two of them as there appear to be in the...

Lookin' good! If you can do a youtube video or good recording of the sound it would be most appreciated. Also, where did you get the hitch?

I picked up a pair of ¾ inch x 4 foot long straps at a local shop for $2. They were made in China, but it’s all I can find. Now I have a way to properly retain my bows when not in use. I think they retain them well enough and I think I did it the way the TM suggests. I think I'll cut about 2...

General, Forgive me, I don’t understand your situation. When you say you added a turbo; did you add a turbo to a previous non-turbo LDT-465? When you bring up timing I think you are referring to IP timing. IS that correct? The turbo doesn’t have any timing that I am aware of. When you say...
