Cat has em or Peterbilt. these are brass with round handwheels, rather than the steel t-handle

the first filter is a water seperator. plus it helps catch the brids and elephants,aka all the big stuff in the fuel. Caterpillar used a reusable brass screen up until a few yrs ago, Now all engines/machines anre equipped with a Parker/Racor type water seperator. These new ones are not washable...

Usually once a filter has plugged due to gelled fuel its a pretty fair bet it will continue to caue grief. Change em out or if your in a pinch, dump em out and fill em with straight powerserv or the like, this will melt the wax out. Another way to help is any filter that is exposed to the wind...

Caterpillar has em too

RE: Re: RE: M35 engine help Are you sure you are seeing oil and not "slobber" from excessive idling? Seen a few turbos changed for no good reason because of this. Would have to think the valve seals are gone if you're getting that much oil out the exhaust.

Just my 2 cents here. All injection line on nearly all diesel engines are the same length, tuned as some might refer to it. This is done to ensure proper timing. All be it a slight difference, a little can be alot for a diesel.

Wreckerman, My whine comes from the nieghbors. So maybe it isnt as audible as yours? :beer:

I fit the description of overly-well fed myself. I take the lower seat cushion out my m-135 when i want/need a little room. Its worth it though

RE: turbo gallery I have heated plugs and bolts up to get them out but have a candle or some plumbers flux around when you do. Get the item good and hot and them stick the candle on it or smear the flux on. As it cools it wicks the wax/flux in and they come right out. If you have to drill into...
