Sorry to hear that. I know the heads never got any heavier but as I got older they sure felt like it. And under the hood. I don't do that alone anymore. Sorry for your misfortune. Good Luck. Get a helper or cut the head off of 2 old head bolts and finger tighten them as alignment rods. just a...
They are all tightened in the correct sequence and they are evenly torqued as you progress with the torqueing. At the first torque you are evenly seating the head and gasket and then the second you are evenly seating again. The third torque and the 1/4 turn are the final tightening and...
I thought there were 3 Ftlb torques and then the 1/4 turn. I did hundreds of 6.2 heads and it is easy to do the 1/4 turn. Much easier if the engine is out of the vehicle. But still doable in the engine room. And make sure you replace the head bolts. Do NOT use them over. You will be wasting your...
Because they are torque to yield bolts and that way they are evenly tightened and evenly sealing and compressing the head gasket. Also you must follow the correct torque sequence.
I never took one apart. I would wonder how anything would get that far after being strained and filtered. Is that an easy piece to get off? Just asking. That should be clean fuel reaching that point and NOT a common maintenance item. Can you access it with the intake and all the delivery lines...
Good to hear. And if you mess up the treads a little you can tap them out and you will be fine. As long as the bolt gets tight and it will you are good. I have drilled into treads a bit and tapped them and never had any side effects. in the real world it happens all the time. What ever it takes...
No screen in any intake that I seen. Other then a few that different unit put a scrap piece of chicken wire across the top. I just take that and toss it. Not needed. The holes in the wire were that big a 5/16" nut could have fell right in. ????
I guess that's a good point. I hang them from a line and look at them everyday and spray more on as the plastic soaks it up. So it has more then 3 coats at places. Other places are not as badly damaged and take less.
It has a resistor just like all trucks do. That is how the speeds of the fan work. As far as being stupid. It must be pretty smart it has worked for 30 + years. That is not the problem. In 90 degree weather I have all HVAC off. I guess I just have HV. But that is also in off position. I drove it...
Radiator is warranted. The rear out put seal is a 15 minute job 9449 is the National Brand seal number. Use a small chisel and strike the flange of the seal outward towards the rear. Grab the flange edge with a vise grip and strike the vise grip. Seal out. With a seal driver or a mallet drive a...
What about the rubber in the head of the injection pump? I never seen a screen in the pump. And the glass ball is the only thing I see in the return side. I could be wrong. Entirely possible. but I never heard of it before.
I do believe it does. I do NOT have the bracket that held it. But on a CUCV you just zip tie it to the battery bracket. I was going to use it to snorkel my Terminus M1009. but Terminus M1009 may be SOLD if things go as planned. If NOT I will design an air intake from a HMMWV system. I have the...
I have used an M10 bolt and cut it off with as much of the shoulder as required and used that with the hex head if you like in the hole as a guide. Sink the bit into the chuck that the drill has no choice but to stay centered. And let the SHARP drill bit do the drilling. Pushing the drill like a...
The heat gun trick is really good with things like black plastic fender flares.
On Black plastic I use Krylon Fusion in semi gloss or flat black. The Krylon Fusion paint in Camouflage brown does an awesome job of painting the arm rests and door panels of a CUCV. I painted several new blue...
