So I know this has been brought up many times but im trying to understand the ceramic lifters in the mack aset. Truck started ticking and puffing out the air cleaner. Pulled valve cover and one rocker is way out of adjustment and nothing in the overhead looks out of place. I assume I have a broken lifter and would like to know the next plan of attack. I plan to pull oil pan and check for pieces but I am unsure of the actual procedure to replace lifters in this engine. I also realize cam is likely damaged as well. I've combed the forums and have read the upgrades done to these engines and am willing to go that route as well. Manifolds, possibly cam with no extra bump and turbo but just need a direction to go in. Thanks for any info. Justin

We get the white stuff once in a while

Gone but not forgotten!

Early 70's r model i believe had a double frame and wasn't a converted tractor. Haul 80,000 for 40 years and bones are bound to break. I got info second hand.

Think this old R model might need some frame work.

I am somewhat interested in truck in that neck of the woods and wanted to see if someone would be interested in looking at it for me. Best thing to do is e-mail me and I can give you contact info. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would glad to reimburse someone for their time. Also any advice on a long distance deal like this would help. Pretty long haul from Maine to South carolina Thanks Justin email lorainelmt@yahoo.com

Logtruckman Next time your in Maine swing by www.eaglelodgemaine.com Olive I think that ad was this month front page just print no pictures.

Looks good Saving my pennies for your CL for sale. Saw it on front page of Lumbermen's equipment magazine

I like that set up. I would like to see a 20,000 lb moose too but I think I would run the other way. Thanks for the info. Justin

Olive, So what's the combined weight there? How big is your trailer and is that a 1 ton or a 5500. Just curious because my skidder weighs a little less and wondered if I could safely move it with a bumper tow trailer behind a 1 ton. Looks like it was a fun trip for you guys and glad you kept cool.

That's the answer! I should buy a new one so I can see it roll down the assembly line, that would be cool. Think I could get a Titan for around 40K? Kidding aside I am sure Logtruckman will appreciate this. someday!

Thanks Olivetroad I haven't seen that auction site and will have to keep checking their trucks.

Thanks Rob I cruise a lot of truck, fishing, hunting, and forestry sites and this one has to be the best as far as people offering to help.
