...I always thought mutton WAS lamb?

Mutton is meat from an Adult Sheep, Whereas Lamb is Meat from a Young Sheep that hasn't got any Adult teeth Yet..!!

My first car was a 74 land cruiser with a straight 6 that didn't have hardly any power but so much torque and it could be lugged all the way down to idle without a sweat. In old chevy grain trucks that had the straight 6s it was amazing how those little engines could move so much especially after 50 years.

Those early Toyota Landcruiser petrol 6's were just a Copy of the Chev Motor only with Metric hardware ect..

Why Not just pour some Possum Piss ( or what ever brew takes your fancy) down the 4 holes you have & see if you can free the old Girl Up...!!

All the while still work on pulling the other 2 Injectors..

Well done Paul, You got any more pics of "Footrot Flats"..??

You have anything to add? Id like to hear others opinion on the subject in general even if it’s not the mp8. Good topic, keep it going. 

Nope, you've covered everything..

The High range Syncro in the M Drive is a bit prone to Failure.. But there's an aftermarket Fix for That,,

Honestly these new engines would be soo much better if it wasn’t for the emissions.

I wholeheartedly Agree..

Just Stumbled upon this Pic & thought of this thread..

Does it supposed to let air out of bags when truck isn’t running?

No. It shouldn't....

If the Bags are leaking down Overnight..? you have a Leak somewhere in the circuit..!!

Now….I would  be curious to know what the reasoning is for putting them at the back of the engine. Since we are on this subject. 

Because in a Euro COE you can work on the gear train, replace a camshaft. without having to pull the Motor..

They all do It..!!

The  Freightliner DD13-15 & the PACCAR MX13 have the geartrain the Flywheel end..

Cummins doesn’t do it that way

I've got an ISF Cummins in my Ute(pickup to you) & It's a got the Geartrain at the Flywheel end.. The new X12 is also that way..

For starters, the rear mounted gear train. 

I doubt that That'll ever happen.. !!
It's a European Thing. Makes It much easier to work on in COE trucks..

All the euro Engines are like It..

I like that one Hayseed...   I was told it is called a 'Rattle can rebuild'   All of them are funny,,,,  unless you are the buyer..   TJC,,,  I have had to do extensive work on quite a few 'Auction trucks'...  Fresh white painted cab's and gloss black frames,   but......  thousands more dollars after the buyer makes a couple runs, or less..  jojo

Dulux rebuild is another popular One...

Dunno about seeing more when removing guards or guards getting in the way

Very occasionally,  maybe one or two percent of the jobs I do I remove the guard but it always goes straight back on

I'm with you, Paul..
