Let us know how it goes. If your head gasket shoots out your engine, then maybe my math was wrong.

Here is the timing tape for the balancer. Print this out and adhere to the balancer after you have #1 TDC set via the timing gear push pin. I recommend to then set this scale and your pointer to a non-zero whole number on this scale, such as the 3cm mark. Starting it from 0cm doesn't give the...

A CO2 fire extinguisher works perfectly to stop a runaway engine.

I'm not pro-Delco, actually. I work for an OE starter/alternator company that is not Delco, nor Chinese either. I'n trying to establish myself as a distributor for our product, but it may be a conflict of interest.. If so, then I will simply setup my neighbor or friend as a vendor. I want to...

A converter would not be able to handle starter current. May work ok for just charging. I installed a duplicated slave port and wired it to the first battery in series so it is a 12V slave port for jumping civilian junk. Just labeled one 24v and the other 12v.

Stock alternator licks. Just be aware the <$200 Delco conversions are actually non-branded Chinese Delco clones. Some work, some work for only 200 miles, some don't work, and some places don't answer the phone for warranty returns. Pulley also is not a direct swap over. But, you do have a...

Yes, but remember the pump, as long as it is original to the engine, already has the data tag timing built into it when it is pinned. So once you find and set TDC on the balancer, remember, you already have 8 degrees of injection advance at that point. You'd only back it up an additional 8...

Seeking similar cases of front driveline vibration at higher speeds (>40mph), which disappears if the front drive is switched on, and what your resolution was. I'm so far guessing a U-joint or knuckle joint in one the front axle shafts, but also wondering if back-dating the front driveshaft...

OK. I'm done. I tried to thank myself, but it won't let me.

Starts easy, double the fuel economy, much less weight.

:driver:

Satan finish, knarly. Is it red with a pitch fork and horns?

Ha! He did it! He's my new BFF!

Congratulations and welcome. I say add 1/4 tank of diesel fuel, check the oil, spray a 3 second blast of starting fluid in the intake, hold the pedal 1/2 way down, and crank it. Need pics!

Absolutely genius!

Hold tight. He might have it. This is like sitting at a poker table. Looks to be the engine in his pic. Fuel filter location, turbo, and rear belt driven alternator are correct. Could also be a 6V71 or 6V53. Just can't tell what vehicle it is in. It is green but has no cowl in front of...

Pics or it never happened. Also describe how you handled the front driveshaft. That engine weighs 600lb more than a 6CTA8.3.

Start here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gwepAWiP_m0 This method will get you to the data tag spec of 8 degrees. From there, degree out the crank damper with reference from TDC to 10 degrees to BTDC, in single increments. Timing tape will have to be based upon crank damper diameter. The...

I also thought the same thing. Why would you want to sling wood atop a 5' tall platform to move it? That will suck a lot of energy out of somebody. Post pics!
