Funny story.I was working one Sat. when one of the new recruits came up to me asking Sir if I dropped a socket that was sitting on top of a tire were would it go cause I cant find it.I said ok which tire was it on and what size socket was it.He replys it was a 1/2 and it was sitting on top of the right front tire and heard it drop but can not find it.I told him if he has another one just like it to sit it up there and let me knock it off while it watchs were it goes.He did it. I have put my time in on trucks so I think I can have alittle fun with them.There was not a dull moment at work unless I was only one there.

Challenger what do you think is the cause of short # of mechanics.I think my self is cause the younger guys don't like the dirt and grease they have to get on them.Before I retired feightliner has a student program going on and was buying them a starter tool set if they would go to the state trade school.They had to work nights and did not make much money.I rememeber at the time I left they said out of the last maybe 27 students they hired full time only 3 of then stayed on.

Larry another thing I would check is see if the rack on the fuel pump is free.If it stuck you could have a run away and no way to shut it down.

Baldwin # is cw5131P

# 16 strasflex is what I remember.

I am only guess here guys so don't go all out listen to me.I don't know how much difference there is in timing and I could be all wrong.

Here we go again.some one ask question and don't get back with us.Maybe if he gets back on here he could post a photo of what he is looking at.

Its not the rpm as much as how much the helix is turned on the plunger and that is only done by holding the load on it so the plunger goes into full fuel. I my self would like to know how much advance comes into it in full fuel.

With higher rpm under load.Thats the way it should be checked but again it hard to stay under the hood going down the road.

He may never leave office.There still enough suck ups who support him just for the free stuff.Ever one of us knows of some one is on the take from the government.

liberalism in my mind is free stuff.Sit at home and make fun of people who have to go to work ever day and stand out in cold weather just to have to give it to lazy people who like to tell you how your money should be spent.Lieralism is a group of suck ups that would do any thing for their worthless leader.Liberalism come in all shapes and names.The best I can think of is ungodly.

which ever way you go I would not want my engine to be any more advanced than 5 degrees above specs.

You can take the delivery valve out and use hand primer.Full throdle and no stop and just as the flow stops is starting of injection.You can do that on a Robert Bosch as well as on a ambac.On a Robert Bosch you going to need a special tool to take the holding nut off.What some one was talking about id the electric hi/pressure fuel pump that will pump fuel past the deleivery valve keeping you from removing it.This is not need when you can remove the valve.

I remember them being 2 degrees off from a cat meter but that could be variable from light to light.

The reason no replies is in 67 there was no coolant filter on a mack engine.If may have been added or later engine installed.It would have been a drop in perry water filter.No screw on in them days.

I have used both type of timing lights and still have the clamp on from snapon.I used it many times on checking the timing advance on cat engine but it is off from the cat meter.As long as you know how for off it is its ok for charting the curve on a cat.

When using a welder just make sure and cover crank.All it would take to wipe a crank out is one dinge berry to fall in oil passage in rod journal.

At one time sears had big truck service trucks ever were.Some fleets run sears tires because of the network they had.

Ant going to do any good checking for out of round cause you cant do nothing about it and on top of that give it maybe 40000 miles and it will seat anyway.I have checked them many times and most all of them are out of round maybe .001 They will be out more than that if you have a main brg cap down.I remember years ago when we use to check the inside of liners on old mack with a inside mic.You could turn it long ways with the block and set it were it would hang in there by its self and reach down with both hands and try to push each side of the block to the center with a slight pressure and the inside mic would fall thru.Those blocks are flexable to some degree.I do remember when you had to hone liners to a fit on the old 673.You put them in with dry ice with a .001 press fit then hone with a drill motor and cant remember but very slow rpm and a 10 grit rock I think.Up and down fast or you would not have a cross hatch pattern.

With cat and DD engine this is a common problem and I remember one mack years ago same way.The brg has to be bad for pressure to pass by.Also a air compressor will do same thing.I have seen engine overhaul due to excess crank pressure due to a bad air compress two times.I have seen a few turbos that has blown up and metal lodged in oil return tube.New turbo is install with the return pluged and now oil floods the exhaust thru the seals.

Again do not hone the liners.They have the finish that they need.I think your looking at a very old manual.

Do not hone the liners.

Is this a four wire sensor?

Here is the way I see it.There is not one man or woman in the white house that cares If I get shot to death or my family or any one I know so why do they claim to be so interested in my safety.Its all about taking control over the people some day.Obama and others have and always will be them that would love to be in charge of the world.Obama has suck ups that will do any thing including destroying this country for power when they know the will of the people is against them.He has used the democrate party and pulled them down now to his level.

I my self have been one who has made fun of the young guys not knowing as much as we who think they should but think about it.Most are on their first job and don't know just like we was when we was when young.For the last few years I try to remember the mistakes I made and look at the little foolish things the parts guys do and then I try to balance every thing out.I have learned from years working with the public just chill out and its going to be a faster day.I know with me when a man comes in and is in a bad mood it puts me in same mood.If he gets short with me I don't care myself.But I have seen it all.I have seen guys that would come up to the parts counter that did not know what they wanted or guys that expect the parts man to remember his vin # from last month.Or a bolt about as long as his little finger but fatter than that one you sold me last week.I buy some things at nappa and I have been asked many times when buying things for my mack what year and just let them look for a bit before telling them it ant in there.
