RE: Re: RE: pump Yes, and it's nice to put stuff [gathering dust] to work. I should point out that my gauge time [used here] were all at idle, and at 600-650 rpm. It was/is a LD engine, though last week I raised the idle to 800-850rpm. That would/has reduced the time lag . By how much? I can't...

RE: Re: RE: pump Accumulator update. System works but at 3.75qt there is not enough cap to fill completely drained down filters and galleries (a tandem accumulator would ). It does reduce oil gauge lag from 22 sec to 3 or 5sec. The remote air tank increases capacity but leaves no room in the...

Accumulator w/mods. The remote air tank is some tubing w/soft plugs welded in ends, exhaust clamps, air line... which boosts capacity to 3.75qts. The 2 gauges monitor diff. press after piston reaches end of stroke. It holds press fine. The static pressure changes +/-5psi with ambient air temp...

This system is not the same as the deuce engine but may provide some folks here some ideas. Not sure where to post but the discussion seems to be here now. Suggestions on my OT welcome. PM me or blurt it out. When I replaced the hydraulic pump on Betty, the dirty old hoe, I added a large...

Big rigs often use 2 large in parallel. Since they get regular service I'd guess the pair may be more for the surface area/cold oil/ press differential issue, than filters 'clogged' with dirt. Commercial trucks do range far and wide, often into very cold climates. The 06' Mack I drive has a...

Under certain conditions the volume will increase with rpm. Also, the differential may be high when filter is partially loaded and/or the oil is cold. I do worry about the latter. There may(?) also be a moment of bypass when oil first arrives at empty filters. Bypass valves serve a few...

Thanks George. A simple 3/8 pipe-5/8 tube fitting will do. I'm going over to put a system together now - if I can get away from this ?%#!*& web site. System couldn't be much simpler to install. I expect my 3 qt accumulator to fall short so may fab a remote air reservoir to boost capacity to 3.9...

Thank you.JimK

Scrap yard may be best. I went to local forklift dealer today.They have a small boneyard. They didn't have a old palletjack pump. I asked about a new one. Guy said, "maybe $1700-2000". I said "I meant just a pump". He said, "so did I". He gave me a lead but I figure a used one may command big...

Various opinions make for healthy discussion. Different solutions can solve the same problem.JimK

Lee,I'd be cautious about add any restriction to the turbo drain.The turbo shaft's extreem speed (when making boost) puts a lot of air in the oil. It looks like dirty whipped cream. The large dia. drain is for the larger volume. Perhaps drain oil and mig weld a fitting on the side of the pan?JimK

I'd think the pump is best. A fitting can be easily added to pan or just use the drain plug (more vulnerable). The accum advantage is lower cost(slightly w/new, more so w/used), and simplicity (though perhaps not in use). Either system is a BIG bonus on any engine that drains down 4 qt, or sits...

Even short it will get oil press up sooner.You could use two 2... Moroso makes a manual version. I paid $50(?) for this one on e-bay. It is adjustable and rebuildable , 3 qt cap. Summit, and others, sells them ~170(?). They have a 1-1/2 qt, and a cheap gav feed too. The press models can be...

Run long enough, hot enough, the housing will glow. U may never get the chance to see this because of the time it takes to slow down, park, set the brake, get out, open the hood... Heat energy emitted is both convection (hot air) and infar-red (radiation). The latter travels thru the air at...

RE: Engine Prelubricator That rubber oil line on/above/near the turbo exhaust housing worries me. That start up is the hardest part of a engine bearings life,especially for an engine that may sit a long time. It can be run to lube and cool the turbo after [fast] shut down. A pal has used an...
