    Hey Guys sorry its been so long but had to rebuild a C15 and put it back into my cab over Kenworth so I could keep working. Thanks JoJo and FJH but i had some time this weekend to go back to the 470 and as I was turning it over there was pitting from electrolysis showing so JOJO you were correct. They all need pulling and replacing but I think im going to get rid of the old girl and let someone else deal with the it. Thanks everyone once again.

    UPDATE GUYS: Still pushing so back to square one. I have another truck so I can continue to work. Once it’s sorted I will post again.

    Heads are all good and being rebuilt.
  4. Elitedownunder
    I’m waiting for the heads to come back as sent them away again for magnafluxing.

    Thanks MMP

    Thanks Paul, mine has another tap just out of the block which I turned off.

    0024” the lowest on a head and 0028” the highest on the other head though 002” between liners. But yes there is a injector with a heavy carbon build up I haven’t seen before though came out with minimum fuss, but this wouldn’t create a pressure build up through the water galleries though.
  9. Elitedownunder
    Liner protrusion is all good with .002 across all and heads are fine ….except for pulled inlet valves. So next anyone.
  10. Elitedownunder
    No cracks in the heads via dye test…..though 2 X inlet valves are pulled…where do measure liners with a slide guage ? Up on the very top of where the fire rings sit?
  11. Elitedownunder
    Thanks FJH
  12. Elitedownunder
    Thanks Vmac3 …….and I’ve now removed the heads and they look ok so now I will magnaflux before going any further…I have inadvertently chipped a couple of the liners removing the heads but the fire rings cover it so what do you guys think?
  13. Elitedownunder
    Joey, yes, same result with comp bypassed….so will pull heads or tomorrow and let you know. Thanks mate
  14. Elitedownunder
    Ok Joey tried your trick and yes I brought it up to 180F and only then it was producing large bubbles every few seconds but I didn’t bypass the compressor because I didn’t have a hose so will try again tomorrow with comp bypassed. The comp head is a reconditioned I put on the other week so I think I’m shit out of luck. what odds have with you guys being 1. Head gasket. 2. Dropped liner ?
  15. Elitedownunder
    Thanks guys and Joey yes your right of course no belt no movement so will try this today. FJH and Mackpro this is a Etech on a CX Vision so only has a single thermostat no EGR and pancake oil cooler.
  16. Elitedownunder
    Joey was going to do this but thought you couldn’t keep coolant in it since the top radiator hose was gone and expelling it all. I don’t know how you did it. Anyway it’s still doing it and I’m out of ideas so I put a manual override switch for the Horton in which I hope should do the trick until the problem becomes worse and raises it head but I’m not pulling it down if they’re is nothing internal showing. Will keep you updated guys.
  17. Elitedownunder
    Thanks guys I’ll give it a try Joey.
  18. Elitedownunder
    Yeah it is still pushing, so the lip should face the cabin not the fan?
  19. Elitedownunder
    Thanks mate
  20. Elitedownunder
    Thanks JoJo, but upon reading the SB it’s for non etech this is mainly for the ASET and EGR with twin Thermostat…mine is definitely a 10 psi.
  21. Elitedownunder
    10 PSI …. Was thinking when I started her up the coolant sensor would come on and then go off after a couple minutes of driving then a week or two after it stayed on and this is when it started pressurising.
  22. Elitedownunder
    Ok, so I top the coolant this morning with a couple of litres and drove my b double trailers empty for around an hour an sat on 80 C until you slow down or stop then it pours out the overflow 2 to 3 litres of coolant which had me wondering. So I went and purchased a thermal gun and after running it it showed me radiator at around 85/90 top and bottom the compressor around the same until I came to the thermostat housing and it showing me the front @ 90 the bottom rad hose at 85 and top hose at 50. So I’m thinking I’ve been sold the wrong thermostat. Another thing is which way should the seal face in the housing ? What say you guys?
  23. Elitedownunder
    Yep Australia.
  24. Elitedownunder
    Replaced compressor head and serpentine belt but still pushing when at temp and stopped, so I’ve left it with a quarter of coolant in reservoir and is not pushing anymore. So tomorrow I’ll check level cold then take it for another run and if it’s not pushing I’m happy but the real test will be when the 44 tonne payload is put on.
  25. Elitedownunder
    I have an extended Mack Bendix Tu Flo 750, so what in the compressor needs replacing or what causes the compressor to push the coolant back?
