It's all just good clean fun.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
What was that last picture you posted?Today was the day to start the rear main seal replacement on terminus m1009.
I am sure it was leaking oil thru the rear main seal. It was leaking oil when parked in the parking lot at Rausch Creek. I know that is where the water was getting in. I have sediment in the flywheel cover. This will make it more trail worthy. Any more improvements I will post pictures. Looks like I am going to be changing the spring bushings they are beat.I'd definitely change the pump since you are already in there that far.
So it made a racket when the oil and water started to mix?
Good job so far,
.
In a high mileage engine, low oil pressure is often due to a combination of worn main and rod bearings and crankshaft journals. The oil pump itself does not create pressure. It produces flow and the resistance to that flow produces pressure. Resistance is created by the orifices in the engine block through which the oil flows, and the amount of clearance between the bearings and crankshaft journals. As the bearings wear, clearances increase allowing increased flow which reduces pressure.your already in there, me personally it would bother me at night if I put it back together without just changing it out.
I never rebuilt a starter, but between the parts (and knowing what to order and where to get them), and the headache of pulling it apart (and then properly mending it back together), that seems like a fair cost.I picked up my re-built starter today. Complete re-build was $130. Not bad. I know it was re-built by a reputable re-builder and have been using the same shop for 25+ years.
