Ok will do!

Would you recommend replacing all of the bolts?

1 bolt backed all way out till it hit valve cover that holds rocker assembly

Old post update....yes im slow...and busy. Pulled pan and no ceramic pieces. Tightened loose bolt and checked all other bolts. Adjusted valves and just finally got pan back on and put together. Truck runs smooth so im thinking loose bolt was my culprit. Thanks Joey mack for your replies! Justin

Check with fullfuel01. I imported a 2007 cv713 3 years ago with his help. My local dealer was 0 help. Hired a broker and with his help he helped with the necessary paperwork that proves it meets us standards. One glitch i ran into was quebec doesn't issue titles. The registration is the title so banking was difficult. Took me about a month to put the deal together. Hope this helps. Justin

Gotcha. Looking to borrow a manual and make sure im following correct sequence. Thanks!

Just read on the forum proper procedure for adjusting valves a didn't realize some rockers will be very loose on engine brake side. Gonna find a barring tool and start from scratch with valve adjustment and go from there

I also found one loose bolt that look to hold overhead in place. Not broken but very loose.

So rainy morning afforded me time to pull pan. No ceramic pieces to be found. I took both valve covers off and what I though was excessive valve clearance is now at 2 other rocker arms so maybe im not understanding valve clearance. I will look closer at valves and have my mechanic take another look. Few codes I got at last startup were 2_8 2_9 3_6 8_3 8_1. These codes were after valve covers were pulled and engine brakes wires disconnected

Will do. Thanks. My mechanic is well versed with cats and so im just trying to help the project along as best I can and if I need cam and lifters i figure i might as well do the suggested upgrades as well

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

HO Bouchard has couple on Golden road haulin BIG LOADS.

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. Justin

drool

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.
