Help with strip threads for belt tensioner
mcratchet1 replied to mcratchet1's topic in Engine and Transmission
Ok thanks, the hole was tapped to fit a heli coil I put one in last night but the bolt for tensioner does not seem to get real tight so I’m worried to death it going to come out. I did not know I could drill a hole bigger in tensioner that might be a great idea heli coil is a 10.5 but od is bigger of course the threaded insert sound better I will try to order some just was wondering if they will last or just do the dang cover thanks for your guys professional help I really appreciate it -

Ok main belt was worn time to change grab tensioner was loose tried to tighten nope bolt pulled out with a heli coil around it sob! My question obviously owners before me fixed it with coil. Don’t know why it failed can I do the same or does some know a better repair ? It’s In the aluminum front cover tensioner #21291243 or is only right way to replace entire front cover thanks for any help

Ok thanks for help guys, the scribe arrow was right. Thought that was strange but it worked. Installed, bleed air out and she steers perfect thanks again!!

The pump will not turn enough to align must be the big arrow
-
So turn it to that small arrow right
-
Ok that means I would have to turn heat pump 180 degrees to align is that ok

2007 Mack mr688s gearbox is leaking around shaft area. My question is how bad of a job would resealing it be? Instead of buying a reman for $1200 mack part# 8148592SV5R or does anyone have a rebuild manual on gearbox any help would be greatly appreciated

I had a engine miss every once in awhile and got a blink code 8-2 so I changed #2 pump but that did not help same code and a miss that comes and go. Those 2 wires on pump does it matter which lead they go on pump? Thanks
