Clockwise for sure. once we cranked it that confirmed the direction. also got some brake clean and steel wool on the balancer and found the 90 degree markings. runs like a top now--smooth as can be and no smoke. Thanks again. that was a huge help

perfect. Thanks jim. That s a huge help. Can you confirm clockwise and not counter-clockwise?

does anyone know the engine turning sequence for valve timing on an 865 engine? firing order is 15486... We started with number 1 at top center and both valves were closed. turned the engine one revolution back to "TC" and both seemed closed on 5 as expected so we adjusted those, turned it once again and went to number 4 but the exhaust valve seem closed. Is there something we are missing on the procedure? Does one turn of the engine not get the next cylinder to TC? Thanks

I like the jack idea a lot. We ended up cutting a small piece out of the bottom of the fiberglass fan shroud to get a wrench in there though. thanks all

Our mechanic didnt seem to think so, I'll double check though...

You guys have been a big help in the past so here's a new inquiry:

Anyone have a way to manually turn an 865 engine, without taking off the radiator and fan, so we can adjust the valves?

Thanks.

Thanks gave them a call and waiting to hear back whether they can do...

I've heard that PAI sells them but you have to have an account with them. Can anyone suggest a supplier? I'll also need new intake manifold gaskets. THanks.

Right. Thinking its over compensating with fuel because of too little air. Looked at Garrett turbos and this one is obsolete. Any thoughts on where to look around?

Did look at the tip and its intact. We were going to switch injectors as suggested when we noticed the turbo probelem. The central shaft is bent so the fans on each side scrape the housing. Thinking we may have more than one problem and the turbo is the first place to start. Smoke is all colors but mostly black.

Ok went to swap them but now thinking we need to back up and look at the turbo first. shaft is bent and it needs to be replaced. Any leads on where to look for an old turbo? It's a Garrett 631GC4105. maybe this is a question for a separate post.

Ok. Will start there. I believe its a Bosch injector so hopefully i can find a replacement. Thanks

Hi I'm new to the forum. Got a real problem. Our '74 log self-loader is blowing fuel out of cylinder 4. Sooty fuel is dripping out the manifold and there's enough smoke to hide the truck from anyone behind it. At higher RPMs the engine starts popping real good. We pulled the injector and its soaking wet. Anyone seen this before or have suggestions on where to start? Hoping its not terminal. Thanks for any ideas! Will work on photos but only have dial-up out here so it takes a while...
