    Engine restore oil additive and the multifuel

    No magnets on the fuel filter, ran out of the "B" drive magnets. Anyhow the fuel is continuously filtered to 3 micron absolute and can be valved from 0% to 100% recirculation back to the tank. Might be the cleanest fuel tank ever. Normally I valve it to hold 3 to 6 psig out to the primary...

    Engine restore oil additive and the multifuel

    Forget the mileage, engine doesn't know how far it has gone or where it has been. It is a tactical military vehicle built to be run hard, used hot, like any other weapon. I use only xxxxyy oil, extensive research leads me to believe that if the manufacture actually formulates that oil as...

    Engine restore oil additive and the multifuel

    I needed a good truck because a shaper was scrapped out at work. It was last run by me in about 1982. It was like new. Many people said they wanted it and when I brought it home nobody wanted it. For a while I couldn't get it off the truck! I finally found someone to take it and they destroyed...

    Engine restore oil additive and the multifuel

    "Just wanted to know all your thoughts." You would do better with some homemade Seafoam. You would do better with no drain back oil filters. One should change the motor oil often and adjust the valves. You would do better with the best fuel filter system available. You would do better by...

    Blow By Tube Leak

    "Some days I gotta keep reminding myself that I do this for fun and it’s a hobby". Your hobby can last at least another 50 years and will be very satisfying. Just think about how much the government paid for your truck and you paid like 15% of that for a forever truck. Make yourself a brake...

    M35a2 White Smoke

    What I meant by the "real" temperature was to use one of these. Great for wheel bearing analysis, exhaust system temp differentials, coolant temps, lube oil temps, and flow thru injectors metal temperatures should be about the same so it it can be tried there to seek a cylinder with bad flow...

    M35a2 White Smoke

    Yes, adjust the valves, change the oil and filters, new lube oil into the fuel, clean/set the injectors and what was that about 2500RPM? There is not many rebuilt multifuel engines left, have to take care of it. You could put some Stanadyne or Diesel Kleen or Seafoam in there, can't hurt. My...

    M35a2 White Smoke

    Take it out loaded up and run it around at 1800-2000 RPM for a while. Back of that engine is the last to get hot. Use your friendly heat sensor gun. What is the lube oil temperature at the oil filter cans and at the crankcase down low in the back. And "clean new fuel" from the fuel station is...

    Squeezed fuel Line

    It is thought that the lines get squashed by use of a forklift, quite a few threads on it. I replaced it with the 1/2" semi hard copper tubing like was on there original but put it up behind the frame member. Also had to replace that special rubber part at the booster pump end too. Also the...
